New subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [SVG Translation Campaign 2019] Results

28 Apr 2019

Hello everyone,

I am happy to bring to you the results of SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in
India[1]. It was a 38-day long campaign to translate the SVG files like
diagrams and maps into Indian languages for use of regional language
Wikipedias. The campaign started on 21 February (International Mother
Language Day) and ended on 31 March 2019.

During the last few weeks, the organisers have been working on cleaning up
the categories, and delete unwanted files. With Phase 1 cleanup
completed[2], we calculated the metrics and also the top contributors.

In total, 194 users from 19 Indic languages have created *2,655 SVG files*
with native language labels.

Top five languages are (in terms of the number of uploads):
1.) Telugu – 323 files
2.) Marathi – 312 files
3.) Hindi – 306 files
4.) Malayalam – 262 files
5.) Kannada – 241 files

All the language categories can be seen at; https://w.wiki/3R5, I request
community members to add these images to relevant articles and make the
best of use of this enormous work.

Top five contributors are (in terms of the number of uploads):

1.) User:Mekala Harika – 269 files
2.) User:দিব্য দত্ত – 177 files
3.) User:Sushant savla – 170 files
4.) User:Sumita Roy Dutta – 154 files
5.) User:Abhijith Sheheer – 158 files

Detailed results and language-wise upload tables can be seen at
https://w.wiki/3R6, and prizes winners at https://w.wiki/3R7. Also to
mention, eleven onsite events happened a part of the campaign, details at
https://w.wiki/3RB. Phase 2 clean up is currently going on and if someone
wants to help please have a look at https://w.wiki/3RE.

Thanks to all the participants, organisers, affiliates, and CIS-A2K for
supporting the campaign.

Regards,
Krishna C V.
