LinguaLibre's workshops gathers various kind of real-life and online events promoting the creation of audios via LinguaLibre rapid recording, by demoing it, mentoring hand-on usage of Special:RecordWizard Studio or via other ways. This page introduces and provides resources for each type of those workshops. Both conceptual and practical resources will be covered.
This page gather possible grants for LinguaLibre's contributors. In most case then may Wikimedia grants can finance events, meetings to contribute, food, transportation, hotels, books and devices.

This page is a work in progress.
Generalities
- User Interface and teaching principles.
On site workshop
- Example: 2021 INALCO.
Online workshop
- Example: 2021 Wiki Meet India.
Sporsorship
- Example: Cantonese 2020.
A private citizen paying an audio-voice professional to records a list of words in his language is also a de facto option. Wikimedia cannot, by rule, pay for content. But given the high productivity of Lingualibre's studio (Special:RecordWizard), it becomes affordable, efficient and profitable for private citizen or institutions to lead such operation, hire an audio professional who will mass record. A first experiment was made with Cantonese. A modest 300€ lead to the creation of 5,000+ audios files within 3 weeks. These 5,000 words make up around 95% of daily Cantonese conversations. Cantonese can therefore be considered as largely covered, on the teaching side at least. For a more exhaustive coverage, 30,000 would be a better target.
This approach is especially needed and promising for rare languages, where volunteer contributors are and will stay hard to find. Sometimes, sponsoring contribution could boost a language. With such low amounts involved, a private or institutional donor can likely be found.
Funding
- Example: Wikimédia France's Microfi. See also LinguaLibre:Grants.
