== Pourquoi participer ? == <!--T:18-->

<translate>
Lingua Libre vient du constat de plusieurs manques sur les projets Wikimédia et sur le web en général :
+
== Why participate? == <!--T:18-->
* Manque de diversité : Si le web est en théorie ouvert à tout le monde, son contenu est loin de représenter toutes les langues de manière proportionnelle. Plus de 50% des sites web sont en anglais; seules 301 des plus de 7000 langues du monde possèdent une encyclopédie libre<sup>[https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_language/all <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]</sup>, au contenu inférieur en qualité et en quantité à ceux des langues plus dotées comme Wikipédia en anglais<sup>[https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_language/all <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>],[https://athenaeum.libs.uga.edu/handle/10724/37877 <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>]</sup>. Ces sites web hébergent en outre des contenus qui reflètent et répondent globalement aux normes et besoins occidentaux par le véhicule de l’écrit, ce qui explique et contribue à perpétuer leur manque de diversité linguistique.
+
 
* Manque d’oralité : Si les langues sont avant tout parlées (seules 4000 des 7000 langues du monde possèdent un système d’écriture)<sup>[https://www.ethnologue.com/enterprise-faq/how-many-languages-world-are-unwritten-0 <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>]</sup>, le partage de connaissance et la communication via les nouvelles technologie d’information et de communication (NTIC) se fait surtout à l’écrit notamment sur le web, malgré le format riche en multimédia qu’il permet. Cette médiation de l’oral par l’écrit place de nombreuses barrières à la contribution, telles que l’utilisation des caractères Unicode, la culture de l’écrit, la standardisation orthographique de la langue ou encore le taux l’alphabétisation de la communauté.
+
<!--T:28-->
* Ces manques de diversité et d’oralité limitent la capacité des internautes à communiquer et à contribuer en ligne sur diverses plateformes web où ils ne trouvent pas de contenu ni de communauté partageant leur langue. Parmi les langues régionales minoritaires orales ou signées, ils menacent en particulier celles peu dotées dont beaucoup se trouvent à l’heure actuelle en voie de disparition et pour qui l’insertion sur le web constitue un enjeu et une opportunité majeurs.
+
Lingua Libre comes from the observation of several lacks on Wikimedia projects and on the web in general:
* En effet, des 7000 langues existant à ce jour, on estime que seulement 2500 vont survivre au siècle prochain et seulement 250 (soit moins de 5 % !) vont effectuer leur ascension numérique c’est-à-dire être employées régulièrement à des fins de communication sur l’espace numérique par des personnes natives à l’aise sur le web — un facteur pourtant essentiel pour leur vitalité<sup>[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0077056 <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>]</sup>. Les initiatives actuelles de linguistes et de militants pour documenter et partager en ligne des données, ressources et contenus dans les langues à préserver ne contribue pas directement à animer une communauté linguistique d’internautes porteuse d’ascension numérique, et restent ainsi limitées dans leur impact.
+
 
* Lingua Libre se veut un outil palliant à ce manque de soutien en se mettant au service des communautés linguistiques souhaitant s’insérer et mettre en avant leur langue dans l’espace numérique en explorant des moyens de communication alternatifs à l’écrit, dans l’espoir que cela libérera la communication en ligne dans un nombre grandissant de langues. Cet objectif favorise par nature les langues minoritaires régionales orales ou signées peu dotées mais bénéficie aussi à celles plus dotées désireuses de mettre en avant leur oralité et visuelle. Pour remplir sa mission, Lingua Libre offre une solution en ligne d’enregistrement de masse, aboutissant à la publication d’un corpus audiovisuel multilingue collaboratif sous licence libre dont la vocation est l’information par la consultation, et la revitalisation par le déclenchement de la contribution de nouvelles communautés linguistiques sur Lingua Libre puis en dehors.

In addition, these websites host content that broadly reflects and meets Western standards and needs through the medium of the written word, which explains and helps to perpetuate their lack of linguistic diversity.
 +
 
 +
<!--T:30-->

This mediation of the oral through the written word raises many barriers to contribution, such as the use of Unicode characters, the culture of the written word, the orthographic standardisation of the language or the literacy rate of the community.
 +
 
 +
<!--T:31-->
 +
* These lacks of diversity and orality limit the ability of Internet users to communicate and contribute online to various web platforms where they cannot find content and communities sharing their language. Among the regional minority languages that are oral or signed, they threaten in particular the poorly endowed ones, many of which are currently in danger of extinction and for whom inclusion on the web is a major challenge and opportunity.
 +
 
 +
<!--T:32-->
 +
* Indeed, of the 7000 languages in existence today, it is estimated that only 2500 will survive to the next century and only 250 (less than 5%!) will make their digital ascent i.e. be used regularly for communication purposes in the digital space by native speakers who are comfortable on the web — a factor which is yet essential for their vitality<tvar|5><sup>[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0077056 <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>]</sup></>. Current initiatives by linguists and activists to document and share data, resources and content online in the languages to be preserved do not directly contribute to the development of a digitally-ascendant linguistic community of Internet users, and thus remain limited in their impact.
 +
 
 +
<!--T:33-->
 +
* Lingua Libre aims to make up for this lack of support by placing itself at the service of linguistic communities wishing to insert and promote their language into the digital space by exploring alternative means of communication to the written word, in the hope that this will free up online communication in a growing number of languages. This objective favours by its very nature regional minority languages that are poorly endowed in terms of oral or signed language, but also benefits more endowed languages that wish to highlight their oral and visual aspects. To fulfil its mission, Lingua Libre offers an online solution for mass recording, leading to the publication of a collaborative multilingual audiovisual corpus under free licence, whose vocation is information through consultation, and revitalisation by triggering the contribution of new language communities on Lingua Libre and then outside.</translate>

Lingua Libre is a project of the association Wikimédia France which aims to build a collaborative, multilingual, audiovisual corpus under free licence in order to:

  • Expand knowledge about languages and in languages in an audiovisual way on the web, on Wikimedia projects and outside ;
  • Support the development of online language communities — particularly those of poorly endowed, minority, regional, oral or signed languages — in order to help communities accessing online information and to ensure the vitality of the languages of these communities.

How to participate?

You can use Lingua Libre by exploring and reusing recordings, contribute to the corpus by recording words, or improve the website itself, in consultation with the community.

The Record Wizard tab allows to record short audios (1 word, 1 phrase), to categorize them and to publish them on Wikimedia Commons from a computer or smartphone. To do so, you will need to log in or create a user account. The user guide is available on the help page.

To modify the website pages, simply log in and click on Modify. To add more pages, the process is in two steps: enter the title of the page you wish to create in the search engine, with the prefix "LinguaLibre:". A message will appear inviting you to create the page. For any substantial modification, please consult the community beforehand.

Interact with the community

Do not hesitate to inform the team of any element that could be improved. To do so, discussions take place in the Chat Room, on the mailing list or on Discord.

Why participate?

Lingua Libre comes from the observation of several lacks on Wikimedia projects and on the web in general:

  • Lack of diversity: While the web is in theory open to everyone, its content is far from representing all languages proportionally. More than 50% of websites are in English; only 301 of the world's 7000+ languages have a free encyclopedia [1], with a content that is inferior in quality and quantity to those of more endowed languages such as Wikipedia in English[1],[2]. In addition, these websites host content that broadly reflects and meets Western standards and needs through the medium of the written word, which explains and helps to perpetuate their lack of linguistic diversity.
  • Lack of orality: Although languages are essentially spoken (only 4,000 of the world's 7,000 languages have a writing system)[4], knowledge sharing and communication via new information and communication technologies (NICTs) is mainly done in writing, particularly on the web, despite the rich multimedia format it allows. This mediation of the oral through the written word raises many barriers to contribution, such as the use of Unicode characters, the culture of the written word, the orthographic standardisation of the language or the literacy rate of the community.
  • These lacks of diversity and orality limit the ability of Internet users to communicate and contribute online to various web platforms where they cannot find content and communities sharing their language. Among the regional minority languages that are oral or signed, they threaten in particular the poorly endowed ones, many of which are currently in danger of extinction and for whom inclusion on the web is a major challenge and opportunity.
  • Indeed, of the 7000 languages in existence today, it is estimated that only 2500 will survive to the next century and only 250 (less than 5%!) will make their digital ascent — i.e. be used regularly for communication purposes in the digital space by native speakers who are comfortable on the web — a factor which is yet essential for their vitality[5]. Current initiatives by linguists and activists to document and share data, resources and content online in the languages to be preserved do not directly contribute to the development of a digitally-ascendant linguistic community of Internet users, and thus remain limited in their impact.
