Hi all
I was checking the banner for Wiki Loves Monuments in various languages,
and I noticed I miss some translations. The main banner text tells that
there is a photo contest, and below this text line there is a short text.
And various translations of this text are missing. In English this text is
"Learn more", but some other languages have the text "More information" as
that sounds better in those languages.
The "Learn more"/"More information" text for various languages is missing.
Please let met know how you would translate "Learn more" or "More
information" in one or more of these languages below (which is logic in
your language).
You can add the translation on this page:

Afrikaans (af)
Asturian (ast)
Azerbaijani (az)
Central Bikol (bcl)
Crimean Tatar (crh)
Irish (ga)
Scottish Gaelic (gd)
Croatian (hr)
Maithili (mai)
Malagasy (mg)
Mirandese (mwl)
Min Nan Chinese (nan)
Nepali (ne)
Northern Sotho (nso)
Punjabi (pa)
Northern Sami (se)
Albanian (sq)
Swahili (sw)
Tamil (ta)
Tswana (tn)
Tatar (tt)
Urdu (ur)
Yiddish (yi)
Yoruba (yo)
Thanks!
For now I only need a translation for the languages listed above. For other
languages listed in the table on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Centra…
I have the small text already.
(If you speak a language that is not in the list on the page at all, please
add the main banner text and the short text. Still various large languages
are missing, for example Indonesian.)

Hi all,
(summary: join us
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Office…>
for a workshop on Saturday 1 October at 2pm UTC / 10am EDT)
After some discussions with various people we thought it might be useful to
have a discussion/office hour about landing pages and making the design of
them effective. This is a bit late in the game for most of you, but some
campaigns will only run in October, so it may be better late than not at
all. I would like to repeat this next year in June/July (maybe at
Wikimania?).
Over the past years, we have developed some documentation on how to create
a good landing page
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentati…>
and
we have shared a template
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentati…>
that the international team believes could be a useful starting point for
many competitions that is also more mobile friendly (here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentati…>
is an older version).
Last year I have done a research project to analyze the performance of our
banner workflow (some results should be shared in the coming weeks) and
while there are no formal findings for this, I did note that the countries
with lowest conversion (percentage of user IDs that click on the banner
that continue to the upload page) seemed to be somewhat correlated with
design elements of the pages (they looked more like Wikipedia articles
and/or were missing a clear call to action).
What I thought might be useful is to organize an explicit opportunity for
organizers from different campaigns to show their landing page/workflow,
and get some feedback from other organizers. We have all gone through the
challenges of setting up these processes, and we can keep improving them.
The workshop will be on Google Meet at 1 October, 14:00 UTC (10:00 EDT,
16:00 CEST). Please sign up here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2022/Office…>
so
that we can prepare a bit. Link will be shared there too.
Best,
Lodewijk
Hi everyone,
