Hi!
I'd like to introduce a tool named Minority Translate (MT):
http://translate.keeleleek.ee/wiki/Main_Page
It's designed for a quick content creation via rapid translation of big
number of articles. Therefor it should be rather valuable for small wikis
as it will help to speed up the creation of the basic structure of wiki.
It's a CAT tool, that works with every language including the ones in
Incubator. That means it will help to speed up the process and it's
excellent for automation of translation for repetitive parts of the text,
but it isn't a magic toy, that will do the translation on itself (machine
translation for small languages is still much in the realms of sci-fi).
Nevertheless, the tool interacts with a linguistic corpus, where the
translation data is gathered. With this we try to form a language resource
for descriptive studies and technological applications. This is already
something that may one day prove helpful for creating a fully automatic
translation for languages in question.
This tool is still in beta phase. More testing = faster the progress. So
you can help!
----
Using/ testing this tool:
1) make sure that you have the newest java installed (
https://www.java.com/en/download/) [not necessary for Linux users]
2) download the program (http://translate.keeleleek.ee/download/)
3) start the program and select your preferences
4) Add stuff for translation ("Articles" --> "Add..."). Example: select
"Add Article List", take "English" as from-language and start typing in "100
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_great_Estonians_of_the_20th_century>
great Estonians of the 20th century
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_great_Estonians_of_the_20th_century>".
After pressing "Ok" it would load in all of the articles in that list from
English Wikipedia that exist there.
5) Start translating.
6) When an article has been translated, then press "upload" (log-in
required; program will upload articles under your own account and
automatically link it to Wikidata)
7) Keep on going.
+ Please provide feedback on what you liked or didn't liked. If something
doesn't work, then I'd need to know that to fix it. If you think something
should be added to make the tool better, then I'm all ears (there's even a
long list on thing to do: user feedback will help to decide on what should
be done first).
With regards
Ivo Kruusamägi
HI,
I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and I want to localize the
Wikipedia project to Kashmiri Language.
There is already someone who has started localizing (
https://ks.wikipedia.org/wiki/) but he/she isn't active for a long
time.
Please tell me how can I find the admin and incase he/she didn't
respond, to whom I should contact to get the rights to manage and
localize the project.
Regards,
Tanzeel Khan
Hoi,
For your information. When a language gets to the stage where it is
promoted to a full Wikipedia, the articles written in the Incubator will be
verified by a linguist who knows that language.
The question whether Wiki stuff is significant as a reference is not
relevant. What is relevant is that an expert opinion is sought to verify
that the language used is indeed the language in use. It would not be a
problem to ask the expert to look at the data provided to the CLDR.
Thanks,
GerardM

Thanks for the link to the spreadsheet.
What's about those languages which are marked eligible but don't have
a
code, as appears to be the case with Laki, Tausug or Yangben (among a
number of others)? I thought only languages with a valid ISO 639-3
code
could be eligible.
Cheers,
Oliver

Hoi,
The language policy has it that any eligible language may be enabled for
Wikidata. Several of the languages in the Incubator are functional in
Wikidata already others are not.
This list shows all the requested languages and it shows an indicator when
the language can be used on Wikidata (only for eligible languages).
Please have a look and let me know when you have any comments. The idea is
that we will ask in a week for languages that are eligible to be enabled.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
I am at the hackathon in Zurich, Waldir who is from the Cape Verde, asked
if he can have Wikidata enabled for his mother tongue, Cape Verdian, kea..
Given that it has an ISO-630-3 and he is a native speaker, it should be no
problem to make it eligible and allow editing in Wikidata.
Thanks,
Gerard

Perhaps of interest to many Wikimedians: the Endangered Languages project
recently launched a new layout, making it easier to find and submit
information on languages that are in the "catalog of endangered languages"
that they are building. Worth a look.
