Hello everyone,
While preparing our pages on Commons for Wiki Loves Monuments 2022, and with the upcoming final report on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion research in mind, I would like to ask your input on the translation wishes from this list.
Wiki Loves Monuments has extensive documentation on Wikimedia Commons about all sorts of things around our competition.
- What, in your opinion, would be the pages you would like to have, or even *need* to have, translated into your native language to help *your national team* organise Wiki Loves Monuments 2022? What pages should we give priority in setting up translation possibilities? (for instance the information page for national organisers? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Organise ) - Are there pages that you would love to have translations enabled, to help *your participants in your competition* find and understand all the information we provide? (for instance the general WLM FAQ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/FAQ ?) - Please help the international team *prioritize*: are there languages that really are hindered by the information only being available in English, and that need this information in a different language to be able to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments?
Please let me know your thoughts and ideas. And of course feel free to answer me off-list if that is more convenient for you.
Best, Ciell
Hi!
Some of you may already have spoken about languages as a complicating factor to Mesha, our DEI researcher. Please also now share your specific needs and wishes with me though, so I can try and set this up on Commons before September 1st. 🙂
Best, Ciell

Hello Ciell I would love to see *Hindi *translation as it is very much important ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_languages_of_the_United_Nations#Hindi ) as it is the 4th largest language thanks. *Regards,*

Hi Suyash,
Yes, Hindi is definitely on my wishlist as well! Would there be any WLM Commons pages where you would find translations paticorly helpful?

Hi Ciell,
Thanks for organising this. And apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I understand that I might be too late to raise this, but I think it'd be good to have WLM FAQs page to be translated to the top ten languages spoken in the UK other than English (*Polish, Panjabi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati, Arabic, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish*). I'm sure most of these languages will already be covered with translations, I still wanted to drop a line here.
Best wishes,
Esma Gjertsen WMUK Volunteer Coordinator

Hi Esma,
Thanks for all these suggestions!
I am prioritizing the translations of the DEI report due to restrictions we have on our grant for this. In the meantime, the translation possibility has been set up for the WLM FAQ page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/FAQ and the page is now already available in French, Spanish and Igbo. For all volunteers on this list: I hope you can help create translations of this page and make it more accessible to other languages.
Best, Ciell
