Dear colleagues,
A few months ago, I wrote to this list (and to translators-l) asking for
help in translating the information page about the Wikimedia Grants program
into Indic languages. This is important in order to make this information
about an important tool and opportunity for community-level initiative
available to those who would have a hard time digesting that information in
English.
While there has been a good response in translating into other
languages[1], very little progress was made on the Indic languages:
So far, only one Tamil speaker volunteered some time (thank you,
User:Shanmugamp7!), but much more help is needed (including in Tamil, which
is 10% translated).
I ask that you consider taking some time to help with this, or to reach out
to your personal contacts whom you know to be interested in helping in this
way, to help us make the program more accessible throughout India.
The page is here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index and you can
use the "Translate this page" link at the top to begin translating.
Many thanks in advance,
Asaf
[1] as of this writing, Arabic, Catalan, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Japanese,
Macedonian, Dutch, and Swahili are 100% translated.
