Hoi, When it is QRcodes for the monuments, a registration in Wikidata will get you a QRcode. You will find them in Reasonator. Reasonator is multi lingual.. it just takes the effort to label the items. Thanks, GerardM

Excellent :-)
Thank you :)
Here is a link to the effort https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bhubaneswar_Heritage_Edit-a-thon
It's a six months long effort.

Is the goal to improve English or Odia?
As the QRcodes will be installed in the signage of the monuments, we want to make this editathon a multi-lingual editathon. So that it will be helpful for tourists to access the information of the monuments in their own languages.
Are you also looking at improving Wikivoyage?
We want to improve it in many Wikimedia projects, including Commons, Wikidata.. For sure we will look into Wikivoyage. Thank you for suggesting. Your help and support will make this project a successful project.
Best James

Hello all!
Greetings from Odia Wikipedia community!
I am happy to share that the Odia Wikipedians have succesfully forged a partnership with Bhubaneswar Development Authority to conduct the Bhubaneswar Heritage edit-a-thon.
This edit-a-thon is aimed to improve Bhubaneswar's digital presence –
and
establish Bhubaneswar as a QRpedia city. With this edit-a-thon,
Bhubaneswar
will be the first city in India to install QRpedia codes in all of its heritage monuments. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bhubaneswar_Heritage_Edit-a-thon(page under construction)
Bhubaneswar, also known as the "Temple City of India" has nearly 300 ancient temples of the Kalinga style architecture that dates back to
the
late 6th century. This edit-a-thon will happen in two phases, In the
first
phase, the BDA will release images and information of all state and ASI-protected monuments under CC license to improve Wikipedia articles.
The
second phase will be for unprotected monuments.
This edit-a-thon will take place globally in the month of August or September. The BDA will provide souvenirs from Odisha to the Top 3 International and National (Indian) contributors. I request interested Wikimedians to please sign up for this edit-a-thon and help Odia Wikipedians to make this project a success. I will update other details
on
the User Talk page of interested volunteers. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bhubaneswar_Heritage_ Edit-a-thon/Participants
Thanks and Regards
