English transliterations of Arabic render names differently: Jidda or Jiddah, for example. By taking the Arabic text for these places and entering it into Google Maps, we’ll find our way to the city. The below image shows searches in Google Translate and Google Maps. When translating, use the language skills available among your colleagues and contacts. Translating Japanese characters to Korean or Mandarin yields a more accurate translation than Japanese to English. So if you have a Korean or Mandarin speaker in your midst, or can find one quickly, ask her to investigate the translations for you. Wikimapia is a crowdsourced version of Google Maps in which buildings, suburbs, military sites and other points of interest are outlined and described. This is useful to get context for an area and identify locations, though this information should be corroborated by other information, as it is possible to encounter errors, or deliberately misleading information. One example of how Wikimapia can be useful came when a day of “civil disobedience” was held in Port Said, Egypt, in February 2013. Demonstrators were filmed marching4 by the Port Said University’s Faculty of Education, according to one YouTube uploader. The streetscape was difficult to identify on Google Maps amid the densely packed streets of Port Said. However, the Faculty of Education (‫ )ةيبرتلاةيلك‬is tagged on Wikimapia; finding and examining this reference point confirmed the location of the demonstration, as shown on the next page. Google Earth is another useful tool, in that it provides a history of satellite images. This is useful when examining older videos where the terrain may have changed. 51
