Help:Add a new language/de

Mit Lingua Libre kannst Du jede Sprache, jeden Dialekt und jeder Sprachvariation aufnehmen. Lingua Libre verwendet Datenobjekte auf die selbe Art wie Wikidata, um Informationen zu einer Sprache zu speichern. Alle existierenden Sprachen sind hier aufgelistet.

Wenn Deine Sprache/Dein Dialekt noch nicht eingetragen ist, kannst Du sie selbst anlegen. Um das zu tun, haben wir zwei Optionen:

• frage einen Administratur (das ist derempfohlene Weg). Du findest sie in der Liste der Administration.
• lege ein neues Datenobjekt von Hand an
