Instagram and Creative Commons
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '22

27 Nov '22

Dear all, a doubt: is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons? Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)? Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM (they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating monuments on Wikipedia) but is a legal matter. Aubrey

Translation and the thank you message
by Platonides 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Although the Thank you messages on the talk pages are sent, we hitted a bug (49749) and those messages didn't trigger email notification. We will try to fix that. While we work on that, we still miss many translations of that message, so this delay allows you to translate and let some hundreds of users to be thanked on their mother tongue. There are still missing translations to Russian, German, Ukranian, Hebrew, Chinese, Czech, Swedish, Armenian, Serbian, Slovak, Estonian, Norwegian, Luxembourgish, Belarusian, Tamil, Portuguese, Esperandto, Afrikaans… https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM_2013_thank_you Regards

Thanks+survey talk page messages
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I noticed that the messages being sent to all participants are by default in English: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM_2013_thank_you We lack several translations (I noticed Italian), perhaps the template should be converted to the Translate extension's page translation? Also, why isn't it called with {{autotranslate}}, to save participants some clicking? Nemo

Please help translate the participant survey

Dear all, please help translate the participant survey on https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate/tsint-wlmsurvey&f… . Translating should be quite easy, I'm doing it right now for Dutch. We are using the same software that is used for translating system messages for MediaWiki. Could you all please make sure that every language gets translated? Please note that you need at least two people to translate: one to make the initial translation, and one to 'check' the translations. Please log in before translating. We would like to aim for 7-10 days to get everything translated. After that, we want the participant survey to be sent out as soon as possible. Feel free to spread the message around and ask any questions you have. At this point, all languages can use help translating or proofreading translations. Best, Lodewijk

Please help translate the participant survey ==> Translation Issues
by Estermann Beat 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Dear all, When reviewing the German and French versions, I have identified a few stumble stones you may want to watch out for when translating the questionnaire: => "through information in the Village pump" - Refer to the equivalent for "Village Pump" in your language version of Wikipedia, otherwise people won't understand what we are referring to (see the language links on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump for likely translations) => "I'm a member of the organizing team / organization" - Read: "I'm a member of the team / organization that was in charge of carrying out the contest." Sorry, we probably should have put "of the organizing team/organization" => "I'm interested in participating in cooperation projects with local heritage institutions (libraries, archives, museums)" - Read: "I'm interested in participating in cooperation projects with (cultural) heritage institutions in my area / in my country" (and not: "with institutions dealing with local heritage") => "City" - Use whatever word is commonly used in your language to designate "city / town / village / place of living" (and not: "city" in the literal sense) Please let us know if you have met any other difficulties or if you have a question concerning the meaning of a particular sentence - the ambiguity of a question or an item may only become apparent when translating it into a particular language...
