Hi everyone,
I'm announcing a proposal I posted about improving the Twi Wikipedia,
currently the only active local language Wikipedia in Ghana which has only
607 articles and 8 users.
Please see the proposal here:
*https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Celestinesucess/Twi_Wikipedia_Translatathon
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Celestinesucess/Twi_Wi…>*
Feel free to ask questions. Feedback and comments are welcome.
Thanks

Hi all Like for Twi Wikipedia, we put a grant for a MOOC, about how to edit in the test-wiki in Tacawit. So the Tacawit language needs your support. We would be so glad if you could support us by your endorsements. Please follow the link below.

Best regards
Reda Kerbouche Head of communication Algerian Wikimedians UG
And founder of the Wikimedians of Tamazight UG
Congrats Zita.
Looking forward to the project.

I can see that the interface is still in English language. I can help you
work on the interface and the Wikipedia main page if you can translate the
English texts into Twi.

Isaac
