Thread:Project:Forum/mediawiki as the platform for a book translation site

Aloha,

I'm in the beginning phase of a non-profit project which aims to provide educational material (lit. books, texts) to an elementary school population throughout various pacific island regions (Marshall Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu so far).

We're using volunteer translators and need to create a site which allows one page of a text to be visible on one side of the screen and a blank space for the translated text to be entered on the other. A professor at my university suggested that media wiki might be appropriate for our purpose.

I'm trying to confirm that we could set up a system that allows users/translators to log in, see the english text, then translate it to the local language on the same screen. Unfortunately I know very little about mediawiki and coding in general so any answers/help anyone could give would be very much appreciated.

We already have people throughout the pacific islands excited about helping but need to provide a platform for them to do so.

Mahalo for your help.
