About this data
This page sheds light on how impactful quotes travel across languages. We measure the average number of languages a quote has been translated into and the typical time it takes for a quote to be translated.
The data is gathered from a curated dataset of widely recognised quotes found on Wikipedia, noting when they appear in different language versions. This provides a unique insight into the dissemination of ideas and cultural exchange through language.
Understanding quote translation trends helps us appreciate the effort involved in making global wisdom accessible and reveals which ideas resonate most across linguistic borders.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
While there are resources that provide some statistics on Wikiquote and translation, none comprehensively track WikiQuote translation in real-time, leaving a gap for detailed analysis of quote translations across languages.
