Those interested in translations of world places, please give your feedback
on this discussion [1]. There is a dataset of professionally translated
list of world places [2] that has already been through a round of
independent review by native language speakers and is open to be used to
improve Wikidata.
331 places were translated into 8 languages. Of the 2,648 translations that
were received, 1148 are new or differ from existing label translations,
while 1508 match perfectly with existing labels.
From the discussion so far it seems like the next steps
would be to get the
translators to update the Wikidata entries from their own
accounts with a
paid contribution disclaimer as per [3]. The other option is to get
community members in each language to once again do a review and update the
corresponding labels. Any suggestions of which is the recommended way to go
about this?
