==Synopsis
Translation may seem like an easy task but it requires quite a lot of attention along with continuous learning. The project mainly aims to provide accessibility to people all over the world by providing simpler methods to present technical information like documentation so that others can read comfortably in their own language.
There are several things that translation in wikimedia pages can help people:
1. While translating a page one is continuously learning a lot. Weather its the source language or the one he/she is translating into, there is always something new that one gets to learn.
2. While translating a page on wikimedia, one encounters various obstacles or I can say little hiccups, and you cant move forward without resolving the issue. This helps develop the problem solving ability of the individual.
3. Translating a page on wikimedia is not just limited to conversion of text from one language to another, it serves a greater purpose. Working on a translation project on wikimeda enables a person sitting in a particular country to get a broader sense of fulfilment.

==About Me
I have recently completed my Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University,New Delhi . I'm an enthusiastic learner with an avid interest in technolog and have been a core contributor to vibrant python community.I have an unending desire to learn and explore.
I came to know about this program in the year 2016 after attending DjangoGirls workshop (my first open source workshop) .There i developed a mystic fascination towards open source society and started gathering information about it.After doing a hefty lot of research I found myself landing on Outreachy page.
==Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program?
No,I won't have any other commitments during this period of internship.
== We advise all candidates eligible for Google Summer of Code and Outreachy to apply for both programs. Are you planning to apply to both programs and, if so, with what organization(s)?
No, I am keeping my complete focus on Outreachy round 15 and is contributing to Wikimedia project as a translator.
==What does making this project happen mean to you?
In India around 50% of the population communicates in Hindi and the source language of every page over the Internet is English. This project is certainly of my interest and with this project I found my first step from where i can start and can work for those people who can only understand Hindi. This project is a big opportunity for me to make content accessible to people here in India.
I am enthralled by the vision of Wikimedia and when I saw this project i fell into it completely. With this project I will learn as well as work with amazing members of Wikipedia and most importantly will work for the people who are can only read the content in their language.
==Past Experience
My experience started when i dived into the field of Open source.
I contributed in [[ https://www.elastic.co/|elasticsearch ]] and used it in building up an intelligent threat intelligence model. I have also worked on Wifi Pineapple project which mainly focusses on the Flaws and security vulnerabilities in Wifi communications.
I am a member of [[http://www.pyladies.com/|pyladies]] and organized several workshops as well as judged [[https://hackitgirls.hackerearth.com/sprints/hackitgirl/judges/|hackathons]] .
I have experience in working with Python,Html , CSS,Data Science as well as in the field of cybersecurity.
