  Digitization Project Translatio is a freely-available digital collection of 19th and 20th century periodicals in Arabic, Persian and Ottoman Turkish, created and maintained at the University of Bonn. The project started in 2013, with funding provided by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia. The publications had been provided in collaboration with several German institutions, eventually being digitized at Bonn.
  
  The collection is considered a strong archive of Egypt-based periodicals. Some of the publications in the archive are also rare or hard to find. The project's website has been praised for being user-friendly, while use of German language in descriptions and metadata as well as lack of information on editors and authors has been described as the disadvantages.
