by Gerard Meijssen 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hoi, Sabine posted this on the WiktionaryZ blog.. This new feature shows that from an architecture point of view we care about all languages equally .. Thanks, GerardM -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WiktionaryZ] Definition in UI language, if present in that language Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:35:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Sabine Cretella <sabine_cretella(a)yahoo.it> To: gerard.meijssen(a)gmail.com >From today on WiktionaryZ has another nice feature. When your user interface is for example set to Italian and you click on any term (English, German etc.) and there is an Italian definition present you will get that one show up. Only if there is no definition in the language of the user interface you chose an English definition will show up. -- Posted by Sabine Cretella to WiktionaryZ <http://wiktionaryz.blogspot.com/2006/07/definition-in-ui-language-if-presen…> at 7/28/2006 09:31:00 AM

Term statistics on wiktionaryz
by Michael Monaghan 25 Jul '06

Hi, Suppose I have a category called say, 'Technology' , that has 100 terms/articles in it. Can WiktionaryZ tell me how many of those terms in that category have translations in say, Japanese? If not possible via the UI, presumably it would be possible through sql? Thanks, ~mm

New functionality
by GerardM 20 Jul '06

Hoi, People who edit on WiktionaryZ now have the possibility to add new Expressions and new DefinedMeanings. This is one piece of functionality that has been most eagerly awaited. What amazes me most, is that there is already so much content, check for instance this list: http://www.wiktionaryz.org/Portal:eng/List_of_1000_basic_English_words To remind you, WiktionaryZ is still very much in a pre-alpha stage, this means that editing is not there for anonymous users, users that want to edit, have to add their Babel template information and have read the [[DefinedMeaning]] article. Thanks, GerardM

Wiktionary; let your voice be heard
by Walter Vermeir 04 Jul '06

Hi, About some 8 months ago I started with an attempt to bring news with a newsletter "Wikizine". I try to bring different types of news like "Foundation", "Community", "Media" , "Technical news" and so. So I try to bring the news for the Wikimedia family. And that includes Wiktionary. I am writing this fist of all to ask for your cooperation with this newsletter. To be able to report news first the news must be known. Wiktionary is a project where I am not at home. If no one reports what is going on there it is not likely I will find out about it. And especially if it is going on other Wiktionary language editions. So I request that if there is news about your project, especially for the non-English editions, that you would report the news to me, to Wikizine. Let the readers of Wikizine know there is more then Wikipedia. A way to make it more likely that someone will think about Wikizine is to put a banner on your userpage or even better on a public page and also for the non-English Wiktionary versions.; http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikizine/banners On the other side I try to get the news downhill to as most of the projects and especially languages as possible. Because of piratical reasons Wikizine can only be in English. But it would be fantastic if people would be willing to translate the news and share it with there community. A total translation of Wikizine is great but also a lot of work. Maybe only translating the most relevant news can be einghoud for starting. You could work together across the different projects in the same languages. By cross-project cooperation the work of translation can be shared. Just only subscribing to Wikizine only is also useful of course. Then you at least are informed. Reading Wikizine can by email. Just click here below and follow the instructions; mailto:request@wikizine.org?subject=subscribe Or you can also read Wikizine from the website; http://www.wikizine.org Thank you for reading this and I hope to receive some news from Wiktionary! Greetings, Walter The guy from Wikizine http://www.wikizine.org To subscribe; mailto:request at wikizine.org?subject=subscribe
