The Corr-Proust Wiki makes available the text of Marcel Proust's letters and their scholarly notes (as published by the Corr-Proust digital edition) for translation into other languages. At this time, the Corr-Proust Wiki is only allowing translations from French to English. In later phases, the platform will offer the possibility for translations from French to other languages.

Footnotes

Footnotes are numbered on the Corr-Proust Wiki in the order in which they appear in the linearized version of the text in the Corr-Proust digital edition, where postscriptums are placed at the bottom. In the Corr-Proust digital edition, footnotes are numbered in the order in which they appear in the text as formatted in Proust’s original document, where postscriptums are often found at the top of the letter. Therefore, in certain cases, the numbering order of footnotes on the Corr-Proust Wiki will differ from that found in the letter as published in the Corr-Proust digital edition. (Example: CP 02812 on the Corr-Proust Wiki vs. CP 02812 in the Corr-Proust digital edition).

In addition to the more user-friendly order of footnotes described above, footnotes for letters on the Corr-Proust Wiki are formatted in the following manner:

  • The footnotes are automatically organized by the MediaWiki software into either a single column or multiple columns, depending on the width of the user's screen. Therefore, while the content of the footnotes will always remain the same, they may display differently on different devices or browsers. This feature improves accessibility and makes it easier for most people to read the footnotes, especially on narrow or very wide screens.
  • In the second-to-last footnote of each letter, a space is provided for contributors to enter notes regarding their translations. Since contributors are asked to use this feature sparingly, users will find the second-to-last footnote left blank.
  • The final footnote of each letter contains a list of usernames representing contributors who have worked on the translation of the letter.
