গুগুল ট্রান্সলেশন টুলকিটে উইকিপিডিয়ার জন্য সহজে নিবন্ধ অনুবাদ
by Belayet Hossain 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

যারা উইকিপিডিয়ায় বিভিন্ন নিবন্ধ যোগ করে অবদান রাখেন, তাদের জন্য সবচেয়ে সহজ এবং নিরাপদ উপায় হচ্ছে ইংরেজি বা অন্য কোন ভাষার উইকিপিডিয়া থেকে সরাসরি নিবন্ধ অনুবাদ করা। সহজ এবং নিরাপদ এই জন্যে যে উইকিপিডিয়া অনুবাদের ফলে অবদানকারীকে তথ্যের উৎস এবং কপিরাইট নিয়ে চিন্তা করতে হয় না। কারণ সকল উইকিপিডিয়াই একই লাইসেন্সের আওতায় নিবন্ধ প্রকাশ করে। একটি উইকিপিডিয়া লেখা ছাড়াও বিভিন্ন ছবি, উইকি মার্কআপ, ইনফোবক্স, রেফারেন্স এবং বিভিন্ন ট্যাগ দিয়ে নিবন্ধটি বিন্যাসিত থাকে। সাধারণভাবে এগুলোকে অনুবাদক বা অবদানকারী নিজেকেই খেয়াল এবং রক্ষণাবেক্ষণ করতে হয়। তবে একটি বড় এবং ভাল মানের নিবন্ধকে অনুবাদ করতে একজন অবদানকারীকে নিবন্ধের সকল বিষয় খেয়াল রেখে অনুবাদের কাজ করতে বেশ কষ্ট করতে হয়। অনেক সময় যা প্রায় দুঃসাধ্য হয়ে পড়ে। ফলে অনুবাদের কাজটিও অনেক সময় মান সম্পন্ন হয়ে ওঠে না। গুগুল ট্রান্সলেশন টুলকিট ওয়েবভিত্তিক এমন একটি অ্যাপ্লিকেশন যা উইকিপিডিয়ার জন্য অনুবাদকারীকে অনুবাদ কাজে এসব বিষয়ে সহযোগিতা সহ আরও বেশ কিছু সুবিধা দিয়ে থাকে। এ অ্যাপ্লিকেশনটি অনুবাদ কাজকে আরও সহজ এবং সাচ্ছ্ন্দময় করে। আমার ব্যাক্তিগত অভিজ্ঞতায় এটি উইকিপিডিয়ার জন্য যে কোন অনুবাদে বেশ কার্যকরী। আমার অভিজ্ঞতা থেকে অ্যাপ্লিকেশনটি কিভাবে উইকিপিডিয়া অনুবাদে কার্যকরীভাবে ব্যবহার করা যায় তা আমার ব্লগে শেয়ার করছি। ব্লগটি হয়তো আপনাদের উইকিপিডিয়ায় অবদান রাখতে আপনাদের সহযোগিতা করবে। ব্লগ পোষ্টের লিঙ্কঃ* http://wp.me/pcRF1-ad* বেলায়েত -- Belayet Hossain http://www.facebook.com/bellayet http://twitter.com/bellayet http://bellayet.wordpress.com (Bangla) Knowledge is universal ...so share it.

[Press] : The Hindustan Times ( Kolkata edition) : Wiki wants Women
by CherianTinu Abraham 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

*The Hindustan Times ( Kolkata edition) : "Wiki wants Women"* http://epaper.hindustantimes.com/PUBLICATIONS/HT/HKL/2011/03/22/ArticleHtml… *The international media is abuzz with the gender gap in Wikipedia contributors around the world. Also, a survey by Wikimedia Foundation shows that English Wiki has only 13% women editors. To level this skewed ratio, the Indian Wikipedia community (communities in different languages across the country) is holding Women’s Wikipedia Workshops (WWW) across several cities, including Kolkata. Probably a first of its kind initiative, it is experimental in nature, with future course depending on response from the first few ones. * * * *“We are trying to understand the cause of this trend, psychological or technological. Though no statistics support it, one can say half the users on Facebook are women. There are women bloggers, too. So computer illiteracy is not an issue,” says Cherian Tinu Abraham, administrator in English Wikipedia.* * * *“Our goal is to double the percentage of women by 2015, not just in India, but around the world,” says Bishakha Datta, member, Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. * * * *However, there is no denying that social networking websites have more userfriendly applications than Wikipedia. To edit Wiki, one needs to know syntax, which many say is no rocket science either. “From my interactions with women, I have observed that they are more users than contributors,” adds Tinu.* * * *In the Indian context, Bishakha explains, Wikipedia has been organising workshops at premier engineering colleges, as breaking the technological barrier there is the easiest. “It is coincidental that men are present in these institutes in larger numbers. But Wikipedia follows a decentralised medium, with various languages taking it ahead the way they want to.”* * * *But for now, not more than two-three women attend the workshops, says Tinu. “Women think this is ‘geekdom’, and not for them. Add to this, women feel marginalised in using public resources, not taking up things which are ‘out there’ for all,” says Rimi B. Chatterjee, author, blogger and Wikipedia contributor. Adds Bishakha, “Visit the ‘discussion’ section of the topic ‘woman’ on English Wikipedia and you will know what I mean.” The section is holding a stiff debate on which picture is suitable to represent ‘woman’ — dressed or nude, anatomical or general, etc. Sanhita Gender Resource Centre collaborated with Wikimedia Foundation to “explore the use of Bangla Wiki to make information on women’s rights and issues accessible,” says Soma Sen Gupta, director, SGRC. The city held it’s first WWW on March 18, with 20 women participants.* Regards Tinu Cherian http://wikimedia.in/wiki/In_the_news#March_2011

Fwd: [Wikimediaindia-l] Off-line Wikipedia
by Belayet Hossain 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

FYI... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com> Date: 10 March 2011 18:05 Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Off-line Wikipedia To: Wikimedia India <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hoi, When you want to read Wikipedia off line, you can when having a user interface in English is not a problem. You are also in luck when you use the software that is developed for Malayalam. The Wikimedia Foundation is supporting new functionality that uses the openZIM format and, this will allow you to make selections that can be used off-line. Okawix will likely be the first application that supports openZIM and can be localised at translatewiki.net. They told me that once they are ready with supporting the Android and iPhone smart phones, they will work on supporting openZIM. In the mean time, their software can be localised at translatewiki.net and you can download the data in your language as well. I am really interested to learn if Okawix works well for your language. There are two parts to it: - does the content look good on your smart phone - is the software working properly for you in your language If there is something amiss with the language support of the software, then you can help us by improving the localisation of Okawix. Thanks, GerardM http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2011/03/test-offline-wikipedia-on-your-… _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- Belayet Hossain http://www.facebook.com/bellayet http://twitter.com/bellayet http://bellayet.wordpress.com (Bangla) Knowledge is universal ...so share it.
