* '''How to download all audios of one language ? By speaker ?'''
 
−
** Languages are there [https://lingualibre.fr/datasets/ https://lingualibre.fr/datasets/]. A short server-side script is auto-ran every 2 days, itself using [https://github.com/lingua-libre/CommonsDownloadTool lingua-libre/CommonsDownloadTool].

* '''How to add missing languages ?'''

== Is the Record Wizard not working for anyone else? ==
−
** Administrators can add new languages, they do so within few days. For users, please provide your language's [[:wikipedia:iso-639-3|iso-639-3]] code + link to the en.wikipedia.org's article. Optional infos are the common English name and wikidata IQ. For more, see [[Help:Add a new language]].

* '''How to keep my wikimedia project up to date ?'''
+
My mic works with [https://mictests.com/ mictests.com], but [https://lingualibre.org/wiki/Special:RecordWizard the RecordWizard] doesn't pick anything up at the "check your microphone" stage. I've tried on both my phone and my laptop, and I can record sound in both cases, and I have the appropriate permissions enabled, but this particular website isn't detecting sounds. Is anyone else having this kind of problem? [[User:Grendelkhan|Grendelkhan]] ([[User talk:Grendelkhan|talk]]) 23:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

::My laptop is using Google Chrome <tt>122.0.6261.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)</tt> on Linux (Debian Testing). No error messages in the console when I attempt the recording. My phone is using Chrome <tt>122.0.6261.90</tt> on Android 14 on a Pixel 5a. It ''does'' seem to work on Firefox <tt>115.7.0esr (64-bit)</tt> on my laptop. (I really should have checked that before.)

* '''How to translate LinguaLibre User Interface into a new language ?'''

== Automatic categorization isn't documented. ==
−
** Go to [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=mwgithub-recordwizard&language=fr&filter=%21translated&action=translate translatewiki.net], change the url part <code>fr</code> into your language's [[:en:List_of_ISO_639-2_codes|ISO 639-2 code]].

−
* '''How to archive sections which have been answered ?'''
+
So far as I can tell, this isn't documented: if, for user Foo, category <tt>Lingua Libre pronunciation by Foo</tt> exists on Commons, then all uploads will be categorized into that category. This is helpful! It's also easy to backfill after the fact using [[:commons:Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot]]. I'm not sure where to document this, but it seems reasonable to do so ''somewhere''.

Bonjour,<br />

Il peut arriver qu'un Élément Qs ne sert plus (enregistrement impropre, page WM différente, titrage incorrect, etc). On peut l'effacer de Commons, mais il subsiste ici. Pour commencer, je propose la création d'une page dédiée à la suppression, avec un/des template/s speedy et/ou delete.<br />

:Salut Eihel, oui pourquoi pas. À noter cependant que si une prononciation est incorrecte, réenregistrer le mot uploadera la nouvelle prononciation sur Commons à la place de l'ancien enregistrement.

* The only workaround is now: run a query--> download the label list as csv-->copy the column-->create a local list on LiLi.

{{ping|Pamputt|WikiLucas00|Titodutta|Lyokoï}} I think it would be nice to make WikiLucas an admin. We are a micro-wiki, WikiLucas has proven to be active and knowledgeable, all lights are green to make him a sysop. I would also encourage to have one or two Indian admins. Indian users are the second largest community here, they bring new insights to the projects, let's empower them properly. Any idea who among this later community would need the admin tools ?

Checking over [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]] I also notice :
 
−
* Bureaucrats: 0x010C is taking a year off; Xenophon is a WMfr staff with bureacrat right for security reasons but barely active here; GrandCelinien... I barely crossed him; it leaves Pamputt as the single active bureaucrat. [[:en:Bus factor|Not enough]]. We need at least 3 '''active''' bureaucrats. I propose to promote Lyokoï to bureacrat if he is ok. He is a regular contributor and solid bet. We also will need someone on the Indian/Asian side soon. Bureacrats mainly can gives users more rights, such as admin status. It's not much but when we need it we need it, and relying on one single Bureaucrat is no a good practice.

* Admins: WikiLucas is an obvious candidate, he bumped into limitations (page translation right above). I see about 3 Indian contributors quite engaged here, could we promote one ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 05:24, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 
−
::{{ping|Yug}} I am clearly not opposed to have more bureaucrat or admin, neither to have some Indian contributors among them. That being said, I don't think we're in a hurry (the Lingua Libre community is not very active at the moment). I prefer to take some time to give the rights to people involved in Lingua Libre, so that we can be sure that they will use their rights for at least a few months. Yet, if someone requests admin or bureaucrat right, just ask (there is no bureaucratic procedure yet here). [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 06:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 
−
:::{{ping|Yug|Pamputt|Lyokoï|Titodutta}} I agree with Yug, I would be more valuable to the project as an admin. As Pamputt has pointed out, the project is not very active for the moment, but in the light of future events -- for instance the training course I will be giving this month with Emma Vadillo to the alumni of the ''INaLCO'' in Paris <small>(being able to quickly delete the potential mistakes of the learners would be worthy)</small>, or the possible nomination of the project to the [[m:Coolest_Tool_Award|Coolest Tool Awards]]), its outreach will grow, so will the community. — '''[[User:WikiLucas00|WikiLucas]]''' [[User talk:WikiLucas00|(🖋️)]] 17:12, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 
−
:{{Ping|Pamputt}} per the request just above let's '''grant WikiLucas00 adminship''', he is one of the most active here anyway, and admin is just an active user with a toolbox to add languages, block users, add translatable pages.
 
−
:As '''for my general argument''', I consider that being a small wiki and with most admins/bureaucrats rarely passing by or via occasional sprints (my case), we therefor need a high ratio of admins/bureaucrates so there is always one around and checking upon the [[Special:RecentChanges]].
 
−
:Last, '''as for Bureaucrats''', we are failing the [[:en:Bus factor|Bus factor/Bus test]] : it's a organizational risk we should not fail, ever. I recommend adding one Bureaucrat for sure. Keeping Xenophon as far away backup. I would also recommend to keep the door open for one more, preferably from the East-Asian community (different timezone, human network, strategic opportunity, etc.).

Hello folks, [[User:0x010C|0x010C]] anounced by email his soon to be departure from the project for a year+ off grid (he will tell more here if he wish to ;) ). We can't fully replace our [[:en:Benevolent_dictator_for_life#;)|benevolent lead developer]]. But could we brainstorm to see where he was active, and how to best fill the gap ? I'am kick starting this table but I have a biais since I don't know every task 0x010C was taking on nor do I know all active users on the project and your full skillsets. Please help us to fill in the gaps. 0x010C will be available between '''Oct. 15th and October 30th to pass some know how''' to who wish to. Let's prepare our questions properly for this transition.

:Thanks for that overview. For now, the worst is there is no developer at all. without that, I think, we can only list all the issues we encounter on Phabricator waiting one is hired by WMFr or other. Considering all the tickets opened on Phabricator, a new developer can be busy for several month, especially if he/she does not very well the project as 0x010C does.

::Yes. I'am quite worry about the speeded-up-audios and add-language bugs. The first literally throw to the trash hour-long efforts and '''pollute''' existing audios datasets, really bad. The second prevents diversity growth. It would be good to mount an emergency budget to pay 0x010C to fix these 2 critical phabricator issues before he leaves. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 16:42, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

==== Feedbacks from 0x010C ====
 
−
Ok! So, I just got a correct phone-call with 0x010C! 0x has great projects ahead it's awesome, so happy.<br>
 
−
Also, he pointed out the following points:
 
−
* 0x010C will pass by LL's discussion page to '''add pointers''' to the table above and answer questions.
 
−
** This will occurs in late October.
 
−
* 0x010C will ''not'' be able to '''inspect the speeding-up bug''' : we need to find an alternative to fix this.
 
−
* 0x010C underlined the most critical need : '''a server sysop''', able to do server maintenance and restarts processes. Some peripheral routines such as the SPARQL counter occasionally fails and needs to be restarted manually.
 
−
 
 
−
First, '''on the speeding-up bug''', we therefor have 2 ways to push forward :
 
−
# Corner the bug. We currently suspect it to be linked to Chrome. Test more. With various browsers. Record 30 words, listen to them, then report results (see section below)
 
−
# Hire a freelance asap. The bug is suspected to be within https://github.com/lingua-libre/LinguaRecorder . There, the last 2 modifications and prime suspects are:
 
−
#* 2020-05-09 [https://github.com/lingua-libre/LinguaRecorder/commit/102aa5041cbe24255fdb522bb045f693e9ca05fd#diff-e3f94ea1709f1bc0a8f6d9b4d22192f2 src/AudioRecord.js]

Secondly, on the '''critical server's maintenance, Wikimedia France's server sysop is also leaving soon''' and the next one is not yet identified. So we may need to send a far reaching call for a server sysop's help, either a volunteer, or the sysop of some friendly chapter ? (UK? DE? IT?) It could equally be the opportunity to open up deeply to non-French member. LL is 3 years old yet most of the LL's admins are French. Not smart. I would especially encourage to open up toward the Indian community, Odia, Tamil, who have been quite active and with high quality feedbacks. They themselves developed a shell-based audio recording tools few years back, so there is there a culture which value orality and acts to protect it. The call shouldn't be limited to this community. The Mediawiki community (techs), Commons, Wikidata, could have some relevant volunters with the needed skillsets. Would be good if we could write together a call to find a volunteer server sysop, together with a call for more diverse contributions to LinguaLibre.
 
−
 
 
−
While we can co-write this call asap, I think we should first corner the speeding-up bug before asking people to join in and contribute. So as long as the speeding-up bug is unsolved, we can only call for a server sysop, not for more contributors.

Both IP ranges 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 and 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/33 were subject to global Wikimedia block at one point (see [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steward_requests/Global&oldid=26774369#Unregistered_users_only_block_for_the_range_2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 Global ban range_2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32]). Following our request, the ban have been reconfigured and uploads from LinguaLibre are possible again. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 10:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

== Speeding-up bug : call for testers ==
+
=== Logs ===
−
Please, we need testers to corner that nasty bug ! Could you test recording with various browsers ? Go to [[Special:RecordWizard]], pick a random language, record 30 words, listen to them, [DO NOT UPLOAD], then report here the resulting pentad ;)
+
For references, I investigated the relevant block logs and uploads logs for May 2024.<br>Conclusion: the uploads collapse is coherent with the IP Ban. Still, given bug reports from Akamycoco in *March* and 咽頭べさ [[:c:File:Lingua_Libre_error_2024.webm|on step 4]], I suspects other bugs are lingering around.

::I've added the information relative to my configuration. Another explanation may be the internet quality (bandwith, latency, etc). In the case of micro-cuts, some software accelerates the voice to make up for the delay. So maybe it could happen more often with 3G connection instead of optical fibers.

:::::'''Current assessment:''' 3 out of 3 of our users with speeding bug used Google Chrome (v84?), on Android 9, ChromeOS, MacOS. The best lead we have so far is a Google Chrome recording API implementation-related, either due to a recent Google Chrome update, or to recent LinguaLibre JS's update done by 0x010C around May. (See above to link to suspected JS code). I took a quick (3mins) look at "[https://www.google.com/search?q=Chrome+audio+recording+speed+bug&oq=Chrome+audio+recording+speed+bug&uact=5 Google Chrome + audio recording + speed bug]" but nothing conclusive.

:::::@DSwissK, after retesting on Android 9 Chrome v.84, do you have the possibility to update so to test Android 9 Chrome to v.85 ?Android 9 Chrome to v.85 works for me on small test lists (~10 items). Could you also comment more : does this speeding bug show up ''EACH'' time you use this Android 9 Chrome v.84 pair ? Is there a saturation effect with longer lists ?

== Lingua Libre Story for September 2020 ==
 
−
 
 
−
:''This is not an official story or newsletter. This is an attempt by the project user(s) to share some updates about the program. There might be more stories which we have missed.''<br>
 
−
September 2020 was an eventful month and we have seen a lot of activities of uploading new content and also around project-related discussion. Here are some of the best stories from September 2020.
 
−
* '''300,000 files:''' On 10 September 2020 we completed 300,000 pronunciation uploads. After the launch in August 2018, the first 100,000 files were uploaded in April 2019, and the milestone of 200,000 files was reached on January 2020. As of 30 September 2020 there are 366 speakers at this project working in 92 languages.
 
−
* '''Maximum number of pronunciations in a month:''' In September 2020, 23,209 files were uploaded. This is the maximum number of files uploaded ever in a particular calendar month (earlier it was 22,963 files in June 2020, and 22,293 files in May 2019).
 
−
* '''Indian language in top 3 list:''' This month Bengali language came into the top three languages by the number of files uploaded using Lingua Libre. This is possibly the first time a non-European/Indian language came into the top three most-uploaded languages on the project. As of 30 September there were 26,757 files in Bengali (the top two languages by file count were French: 164,626 files and Esperanto: 28,100)
 
−
* '''Project chat:''' Several discussion started on the Chat room, such as [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room#Speeding-up_bug_:_call_for_testers|Bug testing]] (you may help), [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room#0x010C_year_offgrid_:_preparations|Technical preparations]] etc.
 
−
* '''Coming:''' 1) Oct. 17th's workshop at [[:en:INALCO|INALCO University]], Paris. This University teach about 105 languages. 2) In late October, [[User:0x010C]] willing to share server's know-how before year-long departure off-grid.

== English label and non-English label ==
 
−
Most probably I did not notice this earlier [[Q389651]]. Label: this is not English, this is Bengali. My language is set to Bengali as well. Sad thing is: this affects many Bengali files, if not all. I also saw one of the recent uploads in other language: Esperanto: [[Q389566]]. For Bengali, and several other languages the script is completely different. (a whole lot of bot work I think). Opinion? --[[User:Titodutta|টিটো দত্ত (Titodutta)]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|কথা]]) 22:04, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 
−
:{{ping|Titodutta}} not sure if this is really a bug. This behaviour comes from the fact Lingua Libre uses Wikibase to handle its own items. And Wikibase allows as many labels as there are languages but actually we do not need any label on Lingua Libre. So, by default it is always English. That's said, I understand it can be weird for some people, so I think the label should be the word that has been recording in English and in the language of the word so that it can be displayed as it when we you use Lingua Libre in your mother tongue. Or maybe it could be the same label for all languages. Anyway, except it is a bit strange, it is not a big deal because these labels are not used by any one.

== Other bugs from India ==
 
−
Hi [[User:Titodutta|কথা]], I was happy to meet you tonight even if it was short. About the bugs you discussed I have created [[phab:T264790|T264790]]. There is also the problem with the labels discussed above. You talk about a problem about duplicates in the word list but I am not sure I have understood correctly because I was not able to reproduce. So could you open a bug report on Phrabricator to describe what is wrong? If you are uncomfortable with Phabricator, you can describe the problem here and I will open the ticket over there. And there was also another point but I have forgotten it so could you kindly remind me? [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 19:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 
−
* The 4 bugs we discussed today:
 
−
:a) Special pages showing errors, you have explained it above.
 
−
:: {{done}} [[phab:T264790|T264790]].
 
−
 
 
−
: b)Post file move error on Wikimedia Commons: it has 2 types of problems: on Commons, after moved the files are not displayed, b) "Remove words already recorded" don't count those words, so if LL-...Hello.wav is moved to LL-...Bonjour.wav, LinguaLibre does not understand Bonjour is already recorded, and asks to record again.
 
−
:: This is currently an issue. Ideally, recording should not be renamed manually because it happens what you described. The problem comes rom the fact the Commons database and the Lingua Libre Wikibase are not connected. The workaround is to modify manually the Lingua Libre item corresponding to the recording once renaming has been done on Commons.
 
−
:: If Wikimedia France finds some money, a tool allowing to rename and to apply the needed changes in Lingua Libre could be developed. See [[phab:T264789|T264789]] for a brief overview (you should develop further what we would like this tool be able to do).
 
−
 
 
−
: c) some words are being eliminated: I'll try to explain this: a particular word, such as "Paris", when I try to generate from a category from Wikipedia, I get this word and record it. Then I try another option: "Nearby" to generate words, and there also I get the same word. Now, ''possibly'' LiLi ''sometimes'' fails to understand the word is already recorded. This is not applicable for all files, I have seen this in 3-4 files. <br>Let me give a clear example, see [https://lingualibre.org/index.php?title=Q381622&oldid=330125#P19 this edit]. This is pretty clear I got the word from Wikipedia. The immediate [https://lingualibre.org/index.php?title=Q381622&type=revision&diff=339010&oldid=330125 next edit] I used "Nearby" to get a list.<br>I have checked it for words. I once I can find more samples, I'll report a bug.
 
−
:: Hard to debug. I tried several times with several words and I was not able to reproduce this bug. Are you sure you clicked on "Remove words already recorded"? So not sure opening a bug report is very useful until you have a word that triggers this bug. Did you try to rerecord [[Q381622]] to see wether this bug occurs again?
 
−
 
 
−
: d) There are actually more bugs, which we did not discuss, that may need quick fix: For example if you use Vector Skin ([https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:Main_Page?useskin=vector click here for preview]) at the top of the page it says "A maintenance operation is planned for today. ..." I am seeing this message for 2 months now. It might be a minor fix, perhaps we forgot to remove this notice. b) vector skin main page may need more work, as the main page is designed for LiLi skin, the recent files and other nice designs are not working in vector at all.
 
−
:: Lingua Libre supports officially only one skin (BlueLLs). I guess Vector has not been disabled when we moved to the new version of the website. I will open a ticket to ask to remove Vector so that there is only one skin to support. See [[phab:T265079|T265079]].
 
−
 
 
−
: e) Coming to internationalization (which is not a bug): some important pages need to be in English also, as of now, such as [[LinguaLibre:Privacy_policy]]. Of course the page can be marked for translation, however until the page is in English also, this might a bit difficult to translate directly from French.
 
−
:: This is known. A working group is planned to work on the documentation page later this month. We will move all pages to English and make them translatable before the end of the year.
 
−
:: {{done}}
 
−
 
 
−
:(Fun fact: You saw I used the word "LiLi". Sometime ago I posted on your talk page about the pronunciation of "LinguaLibre". I am aware in Indian community we often use the short form LiLi/Lili in our discussion, which is a [https://www.sheknows.com/baby-names/name/lili/ female name] in multiple language including a few Indian languages.)
 
−
: This was indeed good to talk you. This was very kind you switched to English briefly. As gradually we are seeing more contribution from India and other countries, possibly we can have a global meet/France-India meet in future.

::{{ping|Yug}} I reverted what you did.

So please, add this code only in your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js]]. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 19:20, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 
−
:::Hello Pamputt. As explained above, [[Special:MyPage/common.js]] is not activated on LL so I couldn't test it there first and we aren't able to do so. So I went ahead and tested this non-breaking change on the site-wide Common.js.
 
−
:::Ok for the revert. Review and community discussion and approval was required, your input and revert are meaningful parts of this required discussion.
 
−
:::'''As for the whole rational...''' ''Recent change'' is an access point which mainly allow active users do to patrolling activity.
 
−
:::Current Recent change ([[Special:RecentChanges]]) access point just display 50 last changes while Lili records between 300 and 700 audios per days. The stream of recent changes is therefor overfloaded by large amount of audios files which no-one but the speaker actually will create, edit, review. Does someone browser those 3~700 audios changes daily? listen them ? Can you or me review the correctness of Bengali recordings' file names ? Or review their content correctness ? Unlikely. As far as I can see, it's a stream of "Done" things : there is no practical patrolling to do this flow of audio files, nor is it any need to patrol them. This situation is proper to LinguaLibre. Most wikis are text based. [[:Commons:Special:RecentChanges]] is an hybrid with uploads but also lot of file renaming, editing, discussions, projects pages so the stream is a mix. LinguaLibre file-work is close to 100% only uploading it by the speaker. Then nothing, the stream is dispatched to Commons.
 
−
:::On the other hand, the meaningful changes done on textual pages which require active monitoring is made harder since these textual changes are buried down among the number of audio files. It seems to me that patrolling edited text-pages (documentation, discussion, user pages) seems as or more relevant, but is currently made inaccessible or accessible via a more complex access point.

== Translation ==
 
−
I translated into English several pages ([[LinguaLibre:Privacy policy]], [[Help:Your first record]] and [[LinguaLibre:About]]) that were originally written in French, and marked the new versions for translation (I also marked for translation the latest version of [[LinguaLibre:Stats]], which includes the latest crossed thresholds in the description paragraph, and a new row in a table). I think the translation of the pages will be easier for non-French-speakers as from now. Though, '''''every translation of these pages - '''except in French''' - is now outdated (for all or part of it)'''''.

::{{ping|Pamputt}} Great! All of this is a big step forward {{smile}}. I think we could also take some time to design improvements for the chat room. Like most "Village pumps", we could divide it in two parts: permanent content in one hand, such as the FAQs, but in the other hand, some content such as this topic, archived after a while (for instance every 3-6 months, since it is not too active), in order to make the page lighter and easier to read. Also, the link "Start a new discussion" does not seem to be working.

: {{ping|Titodutta}} I just understood you were talking about the name of each language in the table, and not the title of the columns. Sorry for this. I added a new section to the translation, it's mostly some code, and in theory the translator only has to insert the language code instead of "en" in the section. The thing is, only "fr" and "en" seem to be working... I set the English stats page and every translated stats page to "en", except for French (it made more sense like this). I don't know where to find the "languageLabel" in order to translate them into other languages... <br/> I tried many changes to the requests and really felt the slowness of the current system while waiting everytime for the tables to load. {{ping|Pamputt}}, do you know if we could be able to add a cache to this pages (to be purged on a regular basis), to avoid having to load the whole request everytime?(for translated stats pages, the waiting time is so long that I don't think many people wait until the end) — '''[[User:WikiLucas00|WikiLucas]]''' [[User talk:WikiLucas00|(🖋️)]] 00:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Focus on pronouncing headwords first. Forvo is flooded with overly specific phrases that only a few uses will use. It would be helpful to scrape a large authoritative dictionary such as the OED, Duden, or TLFI to get a list of words. I don't think that words are under copyright.

=== Words variations ===
 
−
For each headword, pronounce it with the definite, indefinite, and solo; e.g. "the dog", "a dog", "dog". Also pronounce the declined forms in languages such as Latin or German. Group them all on one page under the headword. For phrases, there's no need to inflect or decline them.

:: This is why I believe it is important to create recommendations in place before the site gets too large. We don't want to have to manually deal with these issues latter. I know that the editors of Forvo are struggling with precisely this issue, especially in English. The best thing to do would be to create a bot to tag alternative spellings, generate files for them, and automatically generating the pages for the alternative spelling. For example, in French, you have électroménager and électro-ménager . If a user pronounces either one of these orthographic variations, the bot should generate files and pages for both variations. Otherwise, we'll be asking to effectively pronounce the same word multiple times. It would also probably be helpful to create a bot to scrape alternative spellings from wiktionary.

=== For verbs ===

It's best to focus on the irregular and model ones first. It's also makes sense to pronounce them in all the possible permutations. For example, in French, il/elle/on est should have the following entries: "il est", "elle est", "on est", "il/elle/on est", and "est"

:: It's related to the previous item. If we create official lists, we should not adopt the last-in/first-pronounced model of Forvo. On Forvo, the last word added is the first word in the list for users to pronounce. Speakers have no option to change the way that the list is generated. I believe that we should have more flexibility. Instead of displaying the last words first, I'm proposing that LL randomly sorts the list by default. We could also add a drop-down menu with: Random, Newest, and Oldest. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 23:00, 21 October 2020 (UTC) Edit: Official lists can also help prevent unnecessary duplication of effort.

They should be tagged as part of the filename.

Also, allow users to filter by accent codes. We would need to think about and propose a list of accents for each language.
 
−
: The choice has been done to tag the location in the wiki metadata. Indeed, people are not always aware that they have an accent and an accent can highly vary in a given country or region. So it becomes difficult to find the good granularity. So that, saving the location allow to write some query to get exactly the recordings we are interested in.

For example, you can have an American living in Paris or a Parisian living in America. Who will speak the words more accurately? A person living in London could speak the Queen's English or have a Cockney accent. Especially for language learning, accents are important. We're not judging accents, but merely tagging their existence per speaker.

:::::::My point is that this is an invalid assumption. People speak with dialects and may have a speech disorder that Lingua Libre should have a metadata tag for. It's easier to add at first, then to have to manually add later. It shouldn't be that hard to implement. Furthermore, it will also make it easier for users to filter pronunciations. Take, for instance, Russian that has three major accents with twenty-four sub-divisions in Russia. Each accents occurs in hundreds of cities and villages. If we don't have dialect metadata, then we need to create a list with all of these geographical locations to group the pronunciations in the same dialect. If we have dialect metadata, then I can just filter by "Central Russian" or "Chukhloma enclave." All we would need to do is add the following three options to person's user page "Dialect" (required); "Dialect Sub-group" (optional); "Speech Disorder" (optional) and then have that propagate automatically to all their pronunciations. To help users and promote standardization, we can make these drop down menus with an option for custom.

:I really think that accent are subjective. In France, the "standard" accent is the one used in Paris, so people from Paris think they have no accent. Someone living in the North or the East of France may think he/she has no accent bu people from other regions think they have one. So, you are not always aware that we speak with an accent and if we are aware, we do not not know how to name it. That is why the information of the location, even if not perfect, is not so bad.

It would be great to develop an Anki plugin that would enable users to automatically add audio to flashcards. This is the biggest downside to Forvo that requires users to manually add one word at a time. Providing an Anki plugin will help to popularize this project attracting new users. Since, Anki is python based, this can be based on the French bot. Having a large group of testers can help to identify how the metadata of these files can be improved.

: Anki plugin: YES, it's about 1~2 day work. Maybe Anki folks could help.

=== Flac ===
 
−
Files should be uploaded and stored as '''flac files''' to enable '''tagging''' and reduce file user. All modern browsers use flac and it's emerged as the default lossless audio compression format that is widely supported across different devices. Tagging will help keep the metadata with the file and enable easier renaming by end user or bots.
 
−
: Tagging and flacs : we do tag files in the files' code; we already have long discussion about file formats and chose to keep .wav together with sharing scripts to mass convert to alternative formats. See [[Help:Convert_audios%3F]]. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 14:47, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

== Datasets to download ==

Hello the team, I just noticed that https://lingualibre.org/datasets/ which is central for external developers such Anki's community to reuse our audios work has been lost in the recent UI revamp.

:::Another idea would be to add a menu besides Record Wizard, Discussion, Statistics, Help and About. You could name it "Dataset".

== Proposed Community Standards ==
 
−
Based on a conversation with Yug, I've decided to draft a community compact statement that sets out our standards. Any and all feedback welcome.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Lingua Libre is dedicated to providing free, high-quality recording of words and phrases in all languages. To achieve this, we ask you to abide by the following community standards
 
−
# All people and accents are welcome. However, do not assume an accent that you do not normally use.
 
−
# Please, fill out your profile information accurately. This enables the correct usage of your pronunciations.
 
−
# Do not upload pronunciations that you did not create or are posted with a restrictive license elsewhere.
 
−
# Please, record in a quiet room with no background noise audible when listening with headphones.
 
−
# Do not include excessive silence before or after your pronunciations.
 
−
# Record your pronunciations in a relaxed, neutral tone. If you wish to pronounce them fast, slow, or emphatically, please tag your pronunciations appropriately.
 
−
# Discrimination, cyberbullying, harassment, stalking, or any other form of intimidation on the base of age, accent, class, disability, ethnic identity, gender identity, geographical location, marital status, native language, political beliefs, race, religious identity, religious beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, or any other category will not be tolerated. Any such behavior will result in a permanent ban.
 
−
# Lingua Libre reserves the right to delete any pronunciations that do not follow these guidelines.

:: I appreciate your feedback. I think that we need to review files before adding to the Wikimedia Commons because otherwise we have the potential to flood Commons with recordings of extremely poor quality. I've heard some files with truly horrific sound quality issues on Forvo and have also seen files in which the speaker did not properly read the text. In any language, pronouncing the headwords and all their variants will amount to somewhere between 200,000 to 1,000,000 unique entries. We don't want to that many files that are unusable on Wikimedia. I'm ok with just flagging the files and then deleting them when better quality versions are available. Of course, for rare languages or places of more limited means, we won't delete files just because of sound quality.
 
−
:: I mainly want to have a deletion policy for users that pronounce word in a stereotypical manner that perpetuates discrimination. For example, the white person speaking "black," a straight person attempting to sound "gay," etc. These should be collective judgement calls by administrations with bans and deletions. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 00:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 
−
:::Actually the problem right now is we do not have any sysop tool to check the quality of the files and to manage these fileS. It may evolve in the future but currently we have no mean to apply the policy we discuss here. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 13:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I'am quite surprised. No open license, no data on the speaker (name, place, gender, accent), language, recording date, ... As far as I can see, there is simply ''ZERO'' linguistic metadata embedded within the audio files themselves. All we have is the filename on the format <code>LL-{Qid_lang}_({iso_lang})-{username}-{word}.ext</code>.
 
−
 
 
−
Am I doing something wrong ? Using to wrong shell tool to read the metadata ? (avconv has been depreciated) Did I miss a policy to externalize metadata to the Qid items' page ? If so, it's unfortunate... When the files land on a PC, there is no pointer toward Lingua Libre, nor to the tutorials on how to pull the complementary data.

The translation units on [[Help:Configure_your_microphone]] does not align properly with each other.

I removed the <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> from the page since the TOC will appear anyway. So could a translation adminstrator mark the page for translation again and let's see if that solves the issue. --[[User:Sabelöga|Sabelöga]] ([[User talk:Sabelöga|talk]]) 16:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

== RecordWizard drops syllable ==

:{{done}} -- can be archived. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 16:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Prior to several days ago I was recording word pronunciations without problems, but now I can't. Several days ago RecordWizard started removing certain sounds from my voice, most frequently syllables "s" and "f". If I spell a word, for example "syllable", it records it as "yllable", just like if I never spelled "s". If I spell "sophicated", it records "soicated".
 
−
 
 
−
This sort of behaviour is not present at the test sound stage (the first thing RecordWizard asks user to do), it captures my speech perfecty. However the very same issue is present on different devices with different operation systems, different browsers and different microphones.
 
−
 
 
−
My guess is that maybe some changes to noise recognition were deployed several days ago, and it now misinterprets those syllables as background noice.

:Hi {{u|Tohaomg}}, not easy to say what happens here. I am pretty sure nothing change at the backend since several months. With your examples "syllable" and "sophicated", does it happen every time you try to pronounce these words or does it happen randomly?

Following October 2020's 0x010C's departure we've reviewed the human needs for maintenance of various technical subprojects. Thanks to 4 months community effort things are in better position now :
 
−
* '''Definitions:''' All repositories are now well defined via a clean, one sentence descriptor. It maps sub-projects, so new volunteers know quickly what repository does what. See [https://github.com/lingua-libre/ github.com/lingua-libre].
 
−
* '''Mentors:''' 2/3 of repositories now have a volunteer referee-mentor with "correct" understanding, able to discuss the repository, guide new comers.
 
−
* '''Documentations:''' Most repositories are "correctly" documented via an existing readme.md. Improvement always welcome.
 
−
* '''Web servers:''' Wikimedia France hired a new Sysops, which guide and team up with volunteers on the server issues. Welcome to WMFR's MickeyBarber/Michael.
 
−
* '''Maintenance:''' Wikimedia France is reviewing freelance candidates for deeper mediawiki and recordwizar coding support. Thanks to Adelaide & WMFR's team.
 
−
* '''Globalization:''' Wikimedia France has plan to expand volunteership toward India. Thanks to Adelaide & WMFR's team.

Namaskara/Hello,<br>Earlier we noted that we started getting more participation from India (I am from India as well). In October last year  when I had around 15,000 uploads, I then contacted Wikimedia France with the following idea, what I wrote in the email then:
 
−
<blockquote>I believe in India, as we have many languages and dialects, the tool is specially relevant. I wanted to have a discussion with the people working on the project, or can help with this idea.</blockquote>
 
−
This email was followed by a call with Adelaide and most possibly Lyokoi joined. Adelaide kindly invited me to attend another call, where I could briefly meet many of you.<br>
 
−
Now, I know, there is more interest from India (different languages). You might have seen some work in Marathi very recently. Just two days ago I attended a brief India (Maharashtra) LinguaLibre meeting. I did not expect to see so many participants, but it looks like around 10 or so people are interested to record Marathi pronunciation.
 
−
 
 
−
So, is it possible to have a France-India call? It is absolutely OK for me to make it an "international call", so that everyone can join. Here we can have some of the people from India (any country) who can tell their plans, ask questions, get to know from you, or share experience. There might be ideas and questions related to setting up the project page etc. Around 5 or more people from India will be interested to join, I think.
 
−
 
 
−
PS: Most possibly there are LinguaLibre calls arranged. Adelaide kindly invited me to two such calls. Otherwise, I do not get to know about these calls. If these calls are open and anyone can join, possibly can we announce the call dates and time on this Project Chat, so that anyone interested/eligible can join?

:Hello Titodutta,
 
−
:Nice to hear that news of a 10 people Lingualibre workshop in India's Marathi community. This is wonderful.
 
−
:Adelaide is definitively the person to contact for institutional relationship and workshops. She is coordinating-piloting-animating this project for Wikimedia France and knows who is who, where the human resources are, what is our wish-list and next moves.
 
−
:I'am interested by this call as well. Santosh, an Indian wikimedian contacted us as well (via email) for a similar need.

::Yes, it would be good to have documentation or project page creation process on this site. Other than Marathi, briefly, a few Kannada students from a south Indian college started working on Lingua Libre (you may see an event page [[:m:Alva's Wikipedia Student's Association/Events/Lingua Libre training session]]). Similarly, you might have seen some involvement from the Punjabi community where [[User:Nitesh Gill]] and a couple of other Punjabi community members are working. <br>Other than Indian languages, there is a good response from Japanese, Ukrainian, and a few other languages. From all these the thought of the "International call" came to my mind. <br>Other than small projects we can also think of "small events" in the future, such as a LinguaLibre-a-thon or Libre-a-thon (similar to edit-a-thon, for example on World Environment Day we can get together and records pronunciation which is related to the environment, and not on Commons. This can be a small event where we record our own respective languages). Regards. --[[User:Titodutta|টিটো দত্ত (Titodutta)]] ([[User talk:Titodutta|কথা]]) 23:51, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

:::{{ping|titodutta|सुबोध कुलकर्णी}} From what I see now with France and India, It seems the best seeds are with already very active wikipedians with interest in languages.
 
−
:::We also have a group of successful seeding due to already active wikimedian who have some institutional roles (Lyokoi, WikiLucas, Titudutta, सुबोध कुलकर्णी_Subodh). Basically, according to data, one out of 10 speaker who tried Lingualibre really stick in. So you need someone really active and outreaching, training 20, 30 people to initiate a local community.

== Stats : toward records and beyond... ==
 
−
Folks, given the stats page is broken [paid devs will fix it in coming weeks thanks to Wikimedia France !], I jumped with some regex to do the maths:
 
−
* [[:Commons:Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation]] > 101 languages, 385,929 audios as of RIGHT-NOW-NOW.
 
−
We will likely reach <big>400,000 this very months</big>. This feast is wildly due to the recent rise of Indic languages. We must also notice that most languages only have from 3 to 50 words, people trying out. Best results are achieved if we get users commit a bit, then things truly take off. Other thing, our 7 most active users provided 200,000 of our audios. 20 users contributed more than 3000 audios, and 20 others between 3000 and 1000 audios, so about 10% of speakers really hit it off. Quite interesting ! In my opinion we still have bottle necks on :
 
−
* reaching out to diverse & minority languages ;
 
−
* getting contributors to contribute consistently ;
 
−
* and creating words lists for our users.
 
−
Inventing and exploring new methods for each of these bottlenecks is always welcome. Recent success with Marathi ([[:Commons:Category:Lingua Libre pronunciation-mar‎]]: 15 C, 3,011 F) is a great example of reaching outside our usual pool, we surely may learn from this initiative.<br/>
 
−
I will hide in the code below the per-language stats as in tsv format, in case you want to check those.

Hello all, I'am monitoring grants these days and there is a summary table available here [[LinguaLibre:Grants]]

I think both rapid grants mechanisms could be of help to us now, to reach out to local community via small scale events, training, hardware, food, transportation costs, flyers' designs, etc. By example, [[:meta:Wikimedia_France/Micro-financement/Demande/µFi-2020-10-421441|This WM-France micro-fi's request]] organizes 4 evenings of contribution, getting 100€ for each evening. The same user has been welcome to do several Grant requests.<br> Heavier, the R&D Grant could surely be used for something. I have an idea on this, but we can trust Indian contributors to come up with relevant technical ideas and teams as well. {{ping|Titodutta}} [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 01:20, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

== Update and technical improvements ==

Hi all,
 
−
 
 
−
Full information and full disclosure, I'm working now with WikiValley and Wikimédia France in a paid capacity to help improve Lingua Libre technical structure (see [https://www.wikimedia.fr/emploi-wikimedia-france/nos-appels-doffres/appel-doffres-developpement-et-amelioration-de-loutil-web-lingua-libre/ this] - in French - for the scope of our intervention).
 
−
 
 
−
One of our first action last Thursday was to restart the Blazegraph updater. A lot of tools are depending on this "fundamental brick" (including but not limited to): the SPARQL endpoint (and pages using it) and bots. Now, you can see that pages like [[Special:MyLanguage/LinguaLibre:Stats]] are up-to-date again and the bots should also restart soon (you can see more technical info on this on [[LinguaLibre:Technical board]])).
 
−
 
 
−
The next big step will be to update this Mediawiki from 1.31 to 1.35 and moving it to a new server.
 
−
 
 
−
If you see something or anything wrong or strange, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm also available for any question.

Greetings!<br>Thanks to [[:commons:user:Tshrinivasan|Tshrinivasan]] with who we discussed recent Indic (Marathi!) activity and lack of lists, I bumped again into UNILEX (GNU-like license), which is a Google-led Unicode Consortium project listing vocabulary for 999 languages. Data seems clean as far as I can tell. The two main maintainers are Google folks. So I suspect UNILEX uses Google's best scrappers and NLP cleaners. Within this data are tab-separated frequency lists as <code>{item}  {number_of_occurences}</code>. I forked their github, and made a script to convert their format into Lili's <code>List:*</code> format such as <code># {item}</code>. See:
 
−
* [https://github.com/lingua-libre/unilex/ github.com/lingua-libre/unilex]/[https://github.com/lingua-libre/unilex/tree/master/data/frequency-sorted-hash data/frequency-sorted-hash]/[https://github.com/lingua-libre/unilex/tree/master/data/frequency/ig.txt ig.txt] – frequency

−
You can check if there is your own language among the 999 available. For Marathi, replace <code>ig</code> by <code>mr</code>. I therefor created 2 local lists to test this approach :
 
−
* [[List:Mar/words-by-frequency-00001-to-01000]] – starts soft
 
−
* [[List:Mar/words-by-frequency-01001-to-05000]] – then I jumps to multiples of 5,000 : 01001-05000, 05001-10000, 10001-15000, etc.

Also, the corpora coming from online documents, IRL objects like `chair`, `car`, `walk`, may be further down on these lists. But they must be there in the first 20,000 items.

'''Core issue:''' the core issue from online arrival of users is to increase retention of minority and semi-rare languages by smoothing their speakers work.  By example an user of [[:en:Wayuu language|Wayuu language]] arrived today. We local (frequency) list was available today. But UNILEX + Dragons Bot can provide a local Wayuu frequency list of 8000 items, ready to record.<br>
 
−
Since we don't know which semi-rare languages will come next, having 1,000 languages ready is a safe yet not so excessive bet. Assuming a [[:en:Zipf's law]]/[[:en:Long tail]] curve for languages and their speakers we can still predict that at least one out of 10~20 new language's speaker will miss a local wordlist. But together with OlafBot's lists, we move from 6% toward 90% of our languages habing a solid, '''usefulness-based roadmap''' to walk forward.

: Well, I believe the idea to import Unilex lists is very good. One of the things a new user needs most is an idea of what to record. The Unilex lists suit this function, especially in the case of new languages, where there is no other list available, and no words have been already recorded. The only question I see is how to import the Unilex lists. Perhaps the best idea is to import 1000 most frequent words from each list. It would be even better if the recorded words were automatically removed from the lists and replaced by new ones (like in the case of Olafbot-managed lists), but even a static list is good as bait if the goal is just to attract more speakers of rare languages.
 
−
: One remark: you should translate the file names from Unilex to match LiLi's language codes (or perhaps you did it, I don't know, I didn't examine the code). It's not always the same, for example, Polish is "pl" in Unilex, and "Pol" in Lili. If you leave the old codes, the list won't be automatically found when a new user presses the "Local List" button. Anyway, the newbies are likely not to notice the lists at all regardless of all our efforts. [[User:Olaf|Olaf]] ([[User talk:Olaf|talk]]) 00:55, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Titodutta}} hi, We are having on the mailing list another discussion about networking, cooperations and outward communications. I think the [[LinguaLibre:Newsletter]] page can be modeled upon Technical board and [[LinguaLibre:Bot]], a kind of hub for a subgroup of active users dedicated to a common goal. In this case <u>Communication</u>. The bimonthly Newsletter could be a core, founding element. But other discussion about outreach could take place there. We have so much to push in this direction : academic outreach, rare languages and under-represented countries, partner institutions, calling for new wikimedians, reminding far-away Wikimedian chapter of Lingualibre, etc. Having a hub dedicated to writing elegant co-edited texts, defining targets and leading the call for communication campaign would be a strong plus. I'am still focused on codes but I could help in few weeks. You seems to love it as well. Do we have other users interested to join such efforts ? Would be good to have few more folks.

In January and February, the « Lili » community has taken back control of the technical stack (access to servers, GitHub codes, bots, etc.) and made a call for more diverse speakers. The Indian community started to show up, with key Indic languages being Bengali (50,000) and Marathi (~10,000). Romanian, Polish, Ukrainian are also on the rise around 20,000 audios each. We continue to have some dozen smaller languages showing up but no powerful push yet.
 
  
−
Right now, an external software company is upgrading our MediaWiki and its modules thanks to Wikimedia France's funding. The volunteer dev team is also strong and internal organization is increasing. We now have [[LinguaLibre:Technical board]] as a tech hub, [[LinguaLibre:Bot]] as a bot hub, [[LinguaLibre:Events]] as an IRL/Online event hub.

In that last dimension, we could reach out to « relay users » on other wikis, who can share our news about LinguaLibre with communities of wiktionaries, wiksources, wikipedias, wikidata. We equally consider formally reaching out to non-Wikimedia groups such as Common Voice, Unicode, governmental and NGO agencies, research centers. Possibly in the form of group work and/or an online editathon when we gather to spread the news. This hub, summarizing the community's discussions, will therefore also clarify goals and strategies. We are looking for help with this matter.

Is the Record Wizard not working for anyone else?

My mic works with mictests.com, but the RecordWizard doesn't pick anything up at the "check your microphone" stage. I've tried on both my phone and my laptop, and I can record sound in both cases, and I have the appropriate permissions enabled, but this particular website isn't detecting sounds. Is anyone else having this kind of problem? Grendelkhan (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello User:Grendelkhan,
I just received a second such report. User also checked mictests.com sucessfully.
On Firefox, Lingua Libre recording studio step 4, the microphone is allowed (we see the red microphone image on the left of the URL address). But after clicking the record button, no recording occurs.
  • Mictests on other site : successful.
  • Device: Notebook
  • OS: ?
  • Browser: Firefox, Chrome.
  • User: User:Akamycoco.
  • Languages affected: all.
  • Dates : Worked on February 28. Stopped working on February 29.
Let's starts an investigation. Could you let me know your OS and precise web browser version ? (Help > About Chrome or similar)
Let me know as well if you have basic developer skills to Right-click on the staled page > Inspect > Console : are there any error message ? Yug (talk) 07:55, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
My laptop is using Google Chrome 122.0.6261.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Linux (Debian Testing). No error messages in the console when I attempt the recording. My phone is using Chrome 122.0.6261.90 on Android 14 on a Pixel 5a. It does seem to work on Firefox 115.7.0esr (64-bit) on my laptop. (I really should have checked that before.) So maybe this is solely a Chrome problem? Grendelkhan (talk) 16:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Automatic categorization isn't documented.

So far as I can tell, this isn't documented: if, for user Foo, category Lingua Libre pronunciation by Foo exists on Commons, then all uploads will be categorized into that category. This is helpful! It's also easy to backfill after the fact using commons:Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot. I'm not sure where to document this, but it seems reasonable to do so somewhere.

Understanding lingua-libre

Hi, I am creating this discussion to understand lingua-libre better

Uploads are failing

TLDR: Large amount of users reporting failure to upload at step 5 : Grendelkhan, Culex, XANA000, Ardzun (Indonesian languages), Penn Zero MSSJ, User:Univòc64 (Whistled Occitan) and User:Akamycoco (Taiwanese languages).

Investigation ongoing. Hugo en résidence (talk) 14:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I can record words, but uploading them to Commons fails. The JavaScript console has the following message:

This is not my IP address shown in the error message, and whatismyip confirms that I'm not behind a proxy. The Global block request is here. Is this affecting anyone else? I lost a heap of recordings. Grendelkhan (talk) 22:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I guess I'm not the only one who's been trying for weeks but could not publish audio after 1 May. Hope someone can fix it. Penn Zero MSSJ (talk) 20:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Univòc64 (Whistled occitan) and User:Akamycoco (Taiwanese languages) also reported issues.
It seems time to add a sitenotice warning. Hugo en résidence (talk) 14:07, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
In may we have mostly : 556 recordings by 7 users on May 1th, 174 recordings on May 11th (Austin Zhang), then nothing.
If we compare with known monthly recordings, our average months recently was 30k audios, the lowest ones were 5k audios, May 2024 is heading toward 1200 audios or 5% of the average month and 20% of the lowest months. Something weird is going on indeed.

Fixed

Both IP ranges 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 and 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/33 were subject to global Wikimedia block at one point (see Global ban range_2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32). Following our request, the ban have been reconfigured and uploads from LinguaLibre are possible again. Yug (talk) 10:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

I can record and upload since yesterday with my account, so that seems fixed. But it seems the stats are still not updated. Culex (talk) 12:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Logs

For references, I investigated the relevant block logs and uploads logs for May 2024.
Conclusion: the uploads collapse is coherent with the IP Ban. Still, given bug reports from Akamycoco in *March* and 咽頭べさ on step 4, I suspects other bugs are lingering around.

Kinyarwanda language representation

I'm Robert RUGAMBA from Rwanda and i belong to Wikimedia Rwanda as a volunteer and event organizer. I'm exited to explore this platform of lingua libre and i wish my local languages to be add and represented. the wikidata rabel is: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33573

Thanks. Annick green

Check-green.svg Done This language was already on Lingualibre as Kinyarwanda (Q285). If you open Special:RecordWizard, at step 2, add it to your list of known languages. Please type in « Kinyarwanda », «Ikinyarwanda » and you should find it. Only user who have declared to know Kinyarwanda can record in Kinyarwanda. Yug (talk) 16:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Rename my pseudonym

Hello. I've renamed my account on wikimedia sites but can't log in directly from this username here. Do i have something to do ? My old username is ElsaBester and the new one is L'embellie. Thanks !

Hello L'embellie,
I may ping WikiLucas00, but I think we don't currently have solution for your issue.
We are phasing out this wiki, we hope to release a new Lingualibre this winter or early 2025. So this issue will be irrelevant by then. Yug (talk) 20:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Hey there @ElsaBester & Yug . Sorry I don't have a solution, but I found this in the Chat Room's archives: LinguaLibre:Chat_room/Archives/2023#Update_my_username. Good luck — WikiLucas (🖋️) 18:46, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello @ElsaBester you may also look at my latest reply on User talk:Yug, it's not a great option but maybe you'll want to try it. All the best — WikiLucas (🖋️) 12:24, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Two French words that are impossible to record

Hi,

Two words are impossible to record (even before uploading): esclavesse and scribesse (all my attempts with other words work). Avatea (talk) 18:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Avatea . Sorry for the late reply. I couldn't reproduce the issue on my side, as you can see (esclavesse (Q1385666), scribesse (Q1385667)) I just recorded a few words ending with -esse, including the two words you mention, without encountering any issue. Did you try again recently? All the best — WikiLucas (🖋️) 14:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi @WikiLucas00
No. I just tried, I was able to record another word, but still not those two. Avatea (talk) 19:06, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
After several dozen new recordings (and I had made hundreds of others before), still unable to record these two words. Tested on macOS and Windows. Avatea (talk) 21:26, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Supprimer deux enregistrements incorrects.

Bonjour! À cause d'une erreur lors d'écriture et parce que je l'ai fait pressé, j'ai enregistré par erreur deux termes: *"escaramón" et son pluriel *"escaramones". Serait-il possible de supprimer ces fichiers enregistrés ? J'ai déjà fait les enregistrements corrects de ces mots bien écrits et avec la prononciation correcte: "escamarón", "escamarones". Vous pouvez vérifier l’exactitude de ce terme ici. Désolé pour le dérangement. --Limotecariu (talk) 20:31, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
