SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India
by Rajeeb Dutta 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hello everyone, As it is said, "A picture is worth a thousand words but vector illustrations are even better", [Attribution <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2016/Submissions/A_pic…>]. I am delighted to announce the "SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India". SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India is a planned 38-day long campaign to translate the English-labelled SVG files into Indian languages for use on regional language Wikipedias. During Wikigraphists Bootcamp in September 2018 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/KCVelaga/Wikigraphists_Bo…>, we had several Wikimedians from India who were trained on using Inkscape and other tools, to create vector illustrations (SVG is a file format for vector graphics, like JPG for raster graphics). This campaign is a follow-up of that project and also with a goal to promote the idea of vector graphics among the larger Indian community. Often, we see English-labelled SVG files being used on Indian Wikipedias, this campaign also helps us to have localised SVG files with labels in regional languages to be used on Wikipedias. More about the campaign can be seen at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…, where all the required material to understand about vector graphics and SVGs is already listed. There will be campaign specific tutorials for the campaign posted soon at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in… . This message is to notify the community about the planned campaign, more details to follow soon. The campaign starts on 21st. February 2019, marking "International Mother Language Day", and will continue till 31st March 2019. To make it easy for the participants, a list of images (inclusive, but not limited to) will posted at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in… . All the communities are invited to actively take part in the campaign, you can sign-up yourself as a "Community organiser" for your language at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in… (max two per community), or just sign up as a participant at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in… . If you would like to organise a small onsite event, please sign up at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…, before 21st January 2019. So that it'll help us to finalise the budget. It might sound confusing, but all the resources required for smooth participation will be online far before the campaign starts on 21st February 2019. If you have any questions, please email me or post at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:SVG_Translation_Campaign_20… . Thanks, Rajeeb Dutta User:Marajozkee

Heritage GLAM
by Rupika Sharma 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hello Everyone! In Punjab, India, we have recently formed collaboration with 6 government GLAM institutes including 3 museums, 2 libraries and 1 archive, with numerous meetings and communications with officials that went around for nearly a year. They agreed to collaborate with us for Content donation and agreed for us to document and digitize their books, artwork, and archives. This is a big breakthrough for us in India especially Punjab, where convincing government to form partnerships with open source projects is rather tough to crack. We hope that this experience of government collaboration can also bring fruitful learnings to other communities. We will be facing several challenges for digitization due to lack of resources in our community. Hope our endeavors can be supported for us to make this beautiful project happen. Please check out the project grant we are proposing and leave us inputs and any suggestions. We welcome all ideas and suggestions and hope to learn more from all of your experiences. Since this is our first time putting a project grant, we apologize in case something seems out of order. We are also happy to answer anything that doesn't seem clear on discussion page. We from our end tried to keep it as detailed as possible to make our project more explanatory. Please support us if you feel our efforts are worthy enough. We hope to do capacity development and document Heritage via our project Wiki Loves Heritage - focused on rare documents, archive and books that have clear historical and cultural importance but have no online presence. Thank you in advance for providing us opportunity to make impact. We hope to grow from emerging community into one of the strong community in the coming time. Here is the link to our grant: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikilover90/Heritage_GLAM Please endorse it to help us get support and infrastructure we need to make an impact.

Community Wishlist Survey- Tool for easy science editing using linked dictionary
by Dr. Manavpreet Kaur 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

Hi everyone, The community wishlist survey is on- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019 I have submitted a proposal regarding *Tool for easy science editing using a linked dictionary. * During WWWW, a lot of editors were having issues with finding appropriate medical terms in their native language as it is difficult and time-consuming. Also, the different terms are used in different languages for one subject matter, which leads to confusion. So, in order to facilitate the editors to create content and also to standardize the terminology being used, it will be better if we have some linked system of providing translated names (for the desired language) for the standard medical terms (in English)in a single command. I have proposed to run the pilot on one language and depending upon the outcome, it may later be provided to other languages. *The link to the proposal is- * *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Editing/Tool_for_easy_science_editing_using_linked_dictionary <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Editing/Tool…>* If you feel the need is genuine and the tool might prove assistive in uncomplicated content writing, please support the proposal. Regards, Manavpreet Kaur
