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.

== Liste sur le modèle de Petscan ==
+
== Uploads are failing ==
Salut, est ce qu'il serait possible de faire une liste à la volée sur le modèle de ce qu'est capable de faire Petscan ? [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=fr&project=wiktionary&categories=Lemmes%20en%20fran%C3%A7ais&negcats=Prononciations%20audio%20en%20fran%C3%A7ais&ns%5B0%5D=1&search_max_results=500&interface_language=fr&&doit= Ici], on a la liste de tous les lemmes du Wiktionnaire qui n'ont pas de catégorie « Prononciations audio en français » ce qui signifie qu'il n'ont pas le modèle « écouter » qui permet d'ajouter les entrées dans cette catégorie. Je trouve que la génération d'une telle liste serait vraiment sympa pour les Wiktionnaires. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 06:07, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

:L'idée est bonne en effet, cependant ça représente un gros boulot à intégrer sur Lingua Libre. Je pense qu'il serait intéressant d'en discuter un peu et d'établir un petit cahier des charges de ce que l'on veut pouvoir faire (tout dans petscan n'est pas utile ici). — [[User:0x010C|'''0'''x'''010<span style="color: #00C41C;">C</span>''']] <sup>[[User_talk:0x010C|~talk~]]</sup> 22:00, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 
::[[User:0x010C|0x010C]], est ce que tu penses que l'exemple que j'ai donné ci-dessus (lemmes en français qui n'ont pas de prononciation) peut être implémenté à partir de [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Demo.js]]. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 14:23, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 
:::Oui c'est exactement ça, il faut passer par la création d'un nouveau générateur de mots. Dans mon début de réflexion plus haut, je réfléchissais à comment implémenter les fonctionnalités de petscan dans un générateur. Sauf que niveau performance et rapidité, on pourrait jamais faire quelque chose d'utilisateur avec des catégories aussi grosse que "Lemmes en français", je m'explique. Petscan fait son travail de recherche et de recoupement côté serveur, directement sur une copie de la base de donnée des wikis (il peut ainsi en un coup explorer tous les enregistrements). Or ici, nous n'avons pas d'accès à la base de donnée et les calculs doivent être fait côté client, en javascript. On dépend donc de l'API des wikis en question pour récupérer les données, API qui n'est pas du tout faite pour travailler sur des catégories très grosses (ne peut retourner que 500 membres par requête, etc).
 
::: Bref, c'est pas possible. Cependant, on peut imaginer se reposer sur petscan pour faire le boulot chiant à notre place (ce générateur deviendrait complètement dépendant de cet outil externe, une panne de ce dernier bloquerait le fonctionnement du premier). Je vois trois options :
 
:::# le générateur reprend un certain nombre de champs de petscan, et va à partir des valeurs fournies générer une requête à petscan (complexe pour l'utilisateur lambda, flexible pour l'utilisateur expérimenté) ;
 
:::# le générateur propose à l'utilisateur de choisir parmi un certain nombre de requêtes petscan préparé à l'avance par nos soins (par exemple en cliquant sur "mots en français n'ayant pas de prononciation sur le wiktionnaire francophone", ta requête exposé plus haut serait utilisé), ou de coller l'URL / l'identifiant d'une requête qu'il a préparé / trouvé (plus simple à implémenter, nous oblige à créer pleins de requêtes pour supporter différentes langues, assez flexible) ;
 
:::# on fait un générateur spécialisé "mots dont la prononciation est manquante" où il va automatiquement forger la requête petscan pour faire comme dans ton exemple pour la langue sélectionnée (facile d'utilisation, très spécifique mais potentiellement très utile, nous obligerait à renseigner manuellement les catégories wiktionnaire correspondante car je ne vois aucun moyen de deviner le nom de la catégorie d'une langue à partir de son code ou son id wikidata...)

::::La première proposition me semble trop usine à gaz et bien que puissante, je ne pense pas qu'elle s'adresse au public de Lingua Libre.Entre les propositions 2 et 3, j'ai une préférence pour la 2 car elle est simple d'utilisation au premier abord (on utilise des requêtes pré-forgées) tout en permettant une utilisation avancée (avantage de la solution 1). Et par rapport à la solution 3, ça évite de la maintenance pour déterminer la langue d'une catégorie donc c'est plus maintenable sur le long terme à mon avis.

::::::[[User:0x010C|0x010C]], j'ai activé le gadget et je vois bien PetScan dans la liste. J'ai fait quelques essais et ça fonctionne bien. J'ai essayé avec l'URL du premier message et ça fonctionne nickel. En revanche, j'ai essayé avec [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=fr&project=wiktionary&categories=Adjectifs%20en%20fran%C3%A7ais&negcats=Prononciations%20audio%20en%20fran%C3%A7ais&ns%5B0%5D=1&search_max_results=500&interface_language=en&active_tab= ça] et ça m'indique "Petscan output something weired with this URL, check it and come back afterwards.". En revanche si j'ajoute le « &doit= » à la fin, ça fonctionne correctement (est-il vraiment nécessaire) ?
 
::::::Autre point, cest-ce qu'il est déjà possible de préparer des requêtes pré-faites (« mots en français n'ayant pas de prononciation sur le wiktionnaire francophone », ...) ou pas encore ? En l'état c'est déjà super cool. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 17:04, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 
:::::::J'avais oublié que cetaines URL pouvaient ne pas avoir l'auto-run, c'est fix. Je réfléchis actuellement à la meilleur façon de faire en fait. Ma problématique, c'est qu'une requête comme « mots en français n'ayant pas de prononciation sur le wiktionnaire francophone » n'intéressera que ceux qui font des enregitrements en français, si un germanophone dois scroller 25 requêtes qui le concerne pas (et qu'il ne comprend surement pas) avant d'en trouver une en allemand, c'est pas cool pour lui.
 
:::::::De là, trois idées qui me viennent en écrivant ces lignes :
 
:::::::* Une page par langue, dans l'espace de nom list ([[List:fra]] ? [[List:fra-external]] ? [[List:fra-examples]] ? ...) qui regroupe via une liste à puce toutes les urls dispo pour une langue ;
 
:::::::* Une fois ce travail fait, ce n'est pas très compliqué de supporter d'autres outils externes qui peuvent être appelé via une URL et renvoyer le résultat en JSON ; je pense notamment à querry.wikidata.org ;
 
:::::::* Et là, plus une réflexion, est-ce que ça serait pertinent une fois que ça sera stable de l'intégrer au générateur "listes" actuel (genre avoir deux onglets dedans, "listes statique", "listes dynamiques/externes/..." ?), ou l'intégrer comme un nouveau générateur à part entière dans le core du RecordWizard ? (et du coup comment le nommer dans ce cas ?)

I loved the current version! Truly admire the changes you all have made over time.
 
I have also done a few recordings in my own language Odia to check for any error. Below are a few:
 
 
 
# '''Tag already recorded items ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212580 T212580]):''' When a word has already been recorded and has been uploaded on Commons, does is not make sense to show it as a flag instead of letting any user to upload it directly?
 
# '''Add custom commons categories ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201135 T201135]):''' Also, different languages have different additional categories which Lingua Libre does not let one to add. For instance, I generally add a user category to know how many audio files I have uploaded. For the files recorded using Lingua Libre, I don't see an option to add that optional category.
 
# '''Remove duplicated words (in same session: explanation below ; across time: [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212580 T212580]):''' If I am adding a wordlist before recording, is that possible to keep only one word if the same word is used multiple times? This would save some time for the uploader.
 
# '''Monitor suspect cracking sound in audios ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201136 T201136]):''' There is a bit of crackling sound that is heard while monitoring the recorded words. Any particular reason?

# '''Remove underline ([https://github.com/lingua-libre/LinguaRecorder/commit/c48d2e6f6cb31acef8a39245bab1eccc5dbdb969 done]):''' While recording each word is seen as a green button and during the recording the word is underlined. This works well for Latin-based scripts. However for my script, Odia, and even many other Asian languages, this is a problem as we have diacritics and accent marks below the character. It becomes too hard at times to read when underlined. Also, the light green color and a white background is not accessible to people with corrections or color blindness. Maybe black background with white text will create more contrast and make it easier to read.
 
# '''Last word cannot be re-recorded (explanation below):''' When you reach the last word of a batch and want to re-record that word, it doesn't allow you to click on the word button and re-record.
 
 
 
Also, requesting to add the Warang Citi (used for Ho language) and Ol Chiki (used for Santali language).

:Hi!
 
:First of all, thanks for your feedbacks, that's really helpful. Here are some details about your remarks:
 
:# In my opinion, it is interesting to have several records of the same word by different users, the naming convention takes this into account to avoid records to be overridden by another user. But as I'm not sure I understood this point very well, don't hesitate to clarify it if my answer is mistaken.
 
:# [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201135 T201135]
 
:# If I have correctly understood your point, that's already the case. You can't add duplicate words in the same record batch (if you try to do so, the second one will be dismissed).
 
:# It's just a small file-loading issue, it will be fixed soon, see [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201136 T201136]
 
:# This is a major issue I'm already aware of. In some cases (~ 1 word out of 100), for some unknown reason, MediaWiki is mistaken in taking WAV files for executable files, so it refuses them...
 
:# I'll try to add a way to listen the records while still in the recording studio.
 
:# I wasn't aware of that particularities, I'll remove the underline. I'm not so fond of the white text on black, but I'll try to find something more accessible.
 
:# Hum, this works well with me. When you have recorded the last word, the record automatically cuts off, did you click on the big red button to enable it again?
 
:I've imported the Ho language, which was missing from Lingua Libre, but the two writing system you've mentionned are part of Unicode and should works, am I wrong?

== Première utilisation : quelques questionnements ==
 
 
 
Bonjour !
 
 
 
Tout d'abord, merci beaucoup pour ce super outil !
 
 
 
J'ai remarqué quelques difficultés à l'usage. Peut-être que c'est juste parce que je suis nouvelle et pas au courant de toutes les options, mais voilà ma liste :
 
 
 
# Sur une liste de 20 mots, il faut généralement que je reprenne l'enregistrement manuellement trois ou quatre fois parce que l'outil décide soudain de ne plus enregistrer. Quand je sélectionne un mot, même en cliquant sur le gros bouton rouge, il y a à peu près une chance pour deux pour que l'enregistrement se lance.
 
# Mes mots sont très souvent coupés au début et à la fin (pour les noms propres en deux ou trois mots surtout) : peut-être qu'il serait pertinent d'avoir un petit bouton "next" pour marquer manuellement les fins de mots ? Sur 20 mots enregistrés, entre ceux que l'outil n'a pas envie de me laisser enregistrer (cf #1) et ceux qui sont coupés, m'en reste peu. Sur 3 listes d'une vingtaine de noms, j'en ai eu 2, 5 et 7 exploitables.
 
# Sur une page d'enregistrement comme [[Q44570]], le lien vers la page Wikipédia met un + au lieu d'un _ entre les mots donc on arrive sur un lien rouge dans Wikipédia.
 
 
 
Si ça peut servir, je suis sur la dernière version en date de Firefox au 10/10/18 & Windows 10.
 
 
 
Pour le reste : c'est vraiment super, bravo pour tout ce travail ! Je vais continuer à faire joujou avec l'outil jusqu'à être bien familière avec.

:Les problèmes 1 et 2 sont en fait quasiment réglés avec un meilleur micro. Lingua Libre demande la permission pour un micro qui n'est pas mon micro par défaut, pour une raison inconnue.
 
:Nouveau souci avec l'upload : tous les mots sauf 1 sont bien téléversés. Le bouton Commons s'affiche en grisé et rien ne se passe si je clique sur la petite croix à côté d'un mot : apparemment, c'est tout ou rien pour mettre sur Commons, donc je viens de perdre 29 mots parce qu'un seul refusait de s'uploader. [[User:Exilexi|Exilexi]] ([[User talk:Exilexi|talk]]) 06:44, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 
:: J'en ajoute un : j'avais enregistré 20 mots "autour de moi". Là, je viens d'en lancer 20 autres... et c'est les mêmes. Il pourrait être intéressant d'ajouter une option pour éviter d'enregistrer plusieurs fois la même chose (mon accent ne change pas d'un jour à l'autre).

Salut [[User:Exilexi|Exilexi]], quelques remarques ou éléments de réponse à tes commentaires
 
# Lorsque tu décris que l'outil stoppe l'enregistrement, je pense que le problème vient de la qualité du micro. C'est ce que tu sembles avoir conclu également.
 
# Lingua Libre découpe les mots automatiquement dès qu'il détecte un blanc. Pour les noms à rallonge, on pourrait envisager d'ajouter un bouton pour passer manuellement au mot suivant. Cela étant dit, ça perd un peu de l'intérêt de l'outil car ça devient beaucoup plus lent.
 
# concernant le lien vers Wikipédia (avec un « + »), ça semble en effet un bogue. J'ai ouvert un [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T206801 ticket sur Phabricator].
 
# pour les problèmes d'upload, quand un téléversement échoue, un [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198014 ticket] existe déjà sur ce sujet.
 
# pour les listes de mots, il est possible d'en créer soi-même. Il en existe déjà plusieurs en français (quelques dizaines) et moins dans les autres langues.

== Formosan languages workshop ==
 
Hi there, I had an email exchange with Vicky, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Chengchi_University NCCU] language researcher involved in Formosan languages protection. Some of her questions are [https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Toy_Story#Buzz_Lightyear beyond] my skills :
 
 
 
1. I couldn't find ais(Sakizaya), ami(Amis), trv(Truku) in the language list. Please add, thanks!
 
2. Can I add the dialect information in the speaker file?
 
Because there are 42 dialects under 16 aboriginal languages, I had record Squliq dialect not C’uli’ dialect of Atayal language today.
 
3. I had add the Chinese translation after the aboriginal languages, is that ok for lingua libre?
 
Or I only can type in aboriginal languages?
 
 
 
I broke the questions in several subsections so a quick discussion may occurs for each. Please take notes that Vicky workshop is coming this week, so it would be cool to forward her practical solutions early.
 
[[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 09:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
=== 1) Requesting languages additions ===
 
* Amis_language (iso: ami; wikidata: [[wikidata:Q35132|Q35132]]).
 
* Sakizaya has no iso639, from my understanding. Sakizaya_language (iso: none, wikidata: [[wikidata:Q718269|Q718269]]), Nataoran_language (iso: ais, wikidata: [[wikidata:Q42508148|Q42508148]]).
 
* Truku (no iso no wikidata) : is described in Wikipedia as the main component of Seediq language (iso: trv, wikidata: [[wikidata:Q716686|Q716686]]), already in LinguaLibre. Taiwanese linguist, the most experienced in the matter, are making a distinction.
 
If I understand well, LL only requires wikidata ID. If so, I would recommend to add [[wikidata:Q35132|Q35132]] (amis), [[wikidata:Q718269|Q718269]] (Sakizaya). [[wikidata:Q42508148|Q42508148]] (Nataorans) and [[wikidata:Q716686|Q716686]] (Seediq) are already in I think. Truku may require a wikidata item creation, then integration in LL.
 
[[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 09:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 
:The four languages have been imported here: [[Q51311]] Seediq, [[Q51870]] Amis, [[Q51871]] Sakizaya and [[Q51872]] Nataoran and can be used for recording. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 04:15, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
=== 2) "There are 42 dialects under 16 aboriginal languages". ===
 
We previously added 15 or 16 of these recognized languages into LinguaLibre (thanks x0 and Pamputt). Again, Taiwanese linguists are the experts on the matter, so what can we (LL) recommend for these 42 variants ? Two ideas came to me.
 
# Add the information in he speaker name or place of learning. By example for : Paul Martin (Breton north) ; Paul Martin (Breton south).
 
# Add the Wikidata items following Taiwanese linguists recommendations, while no wikipedia articles nor iso639 exists.
 
What do you think ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 09:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 
: As far as I uundertand, if no Wikidata item exists for a given language, we have two options: create it on Wikidata (whether it is notable) and import here after or create it by hand directly here. So for dialect, I would say they are enough notable to be created on Wikidata but I have no time to do it by myself before the end of the year (I have no regular Internet connection for now). [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 04:18, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 
::In fact, the second option mentionned above by Pamputt won't work. For a language to be recognised by the RecordWizard, it has to have a wikidata ID. The right way to do it imho is (as also suggested by Pamputt) to create the corresponding item on wikidata, and then ask for an import here. — [[User:0x010C|'''0'''x'''010<span style="color: #00C41C;">C</span>''']] <sup>[[User_talk:0x010C|~talk~]]</sup> 14:46, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
=== 3) "Is it ok to use <code>mhway su (谢谢)</code> ?" (target word + translation) ===
 
* '''Technically''', both aboriginal languages and Chinese, de factor the target word together with its closest macro-language's translation, here, Chinese.
 
* Keep extremely '''consistent''' in your practice, so to ease later usages (learning apps). If the rule is
 
<span style="color:green;">{aboriginal}{white_space}{opening_round_braket_(}{Chinese}{closing_round_braket_)}</span>
 
stick to it, and avoid round brackets in other places of your element. Early consistency makes later usages easier.
 
[[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 09:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 
:@x0, devs, there again we have the questions of wordlists with translations. I previously suggested that [[Help:Create_your_own_lists|words lists]] support a iso639 syntaxe or wikidata id syntax so to push the translation into a different metadata field. Example of list :
 
: mhway su [cmn:谢谢,eng:Thank]
 
:Then "mhway su" is the target recorded word. "谢谢" is the translation in the meta data "cmn" (Chinese). "Thank" is the translation in the meta data "eng" (English). I guess I should open a ticket on Phabricator. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 10:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 
::Multi-lingual wordlist --wordlist including the translation of target words-- are not supported at the moment.

== Feature request: ask to reuse existing identical audio if available ==
 
:{{Done}}, can be archived. 12:08, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 
I waste a lot of time because Lingua Libre Bot has to have new audio for every lexeme forms. For example this audio https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LL-Q809_(pol)-KaMan-Bizancjum.wav I had to record 10 times (https://lingualibre.fr/index.php?title=Q55850&action=history). A lot of forms in Polish language is duplicated in different cases. It would be great if in word generator (+ExternalTools) in Record Wizard could be question to ask if duplicate should be recorded (identical speaker, language and lexeme), and Lingua Libre Bot propagate existing audio. It could save time. [[User:KaMan|KaMan]] ([[User talk:KaMan|talk]]) 14:28, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 
:KaMan, where does your wordlist(s?) come from ? how is it created ? You use LinguaLibre word generator ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 00:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 
:If I understand well, you eventually have the same issue as raised in [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room#Warn_the_user_when_they_try_to_record_a_file_that_they_already_made|Warn the user when they try to record a file that they already made]]. Namely, you meet again and again words that you already recorded. If this is correct, then we started to look for technical solutions ([https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212580 T212580]). As of now, for long series, it is important to stick to large frequency list, so to not re-record similar words multiple times.

::No Yug. He's talking about word lists generated with a SPARQL query from Lexemes on Wikidata, and from the fact that Lingua Libre Bot only associate audio recordings on the Lexeme when there is a direct link, causing him to re-record many times homograph words that are also homonym.
 
::But the main issue I pointed out in [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212580 T212580] apply here too, I don't have any idea of easy and effective implementation right now.

::: 0x010C is right. It's not problem of wrong list, list of words is correct. If there is no easy solution to it I can work with it as is but I admit I feel pain ;) before recording of 14 identical forms of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L19356 :) [[User:KaMan|KaMan]] ([[User talk:KaMan|talk]]) 13:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 
::::"Who doesnt try cannot be wrong." It really needs to read between lines to find the Wikidata reference. "Lexeme" is lexicology term before being a Wikidata item type. The current SPARQL query doesnt seems time savy.
 
::::And yes, generally speaking frequency list of unique words save our speakers energy. First, each form is recorded only once : this is why human speakers are for, and they shouldn't have to record multiple times a same form. Second, in natural language, words frequency follow the [[:wikipedia:Zipf's law|Zipf's law]]. Thus, the 135 most frequent English items represent 50% coverage of written text. On the opposite side, recording Wikipedia categories is not representative of human language and thus not time efficient. One volunteer can audio record 2000 categories it will still barely account for 1% of this human language. This only has internal value, by wikipedians for wikipedians, which is positive but sub-optimal.
 
::::As of KaMan's case, I would still recommend using frequency list : it would save valuable human time. A later bot could dispatch the audios upon the various wikidata items of this language and form. So I just used Hermit Dave CC-by-sa data to create Polish language frequency lists on LinguaLibre for the first 20k words, they are now availale to in the [[Special:RecordWizard|Record Studio]] > Details step : Local list > "pol". [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 13:51, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 
:::::Yug, it's not a problem of frequency list but feature of language. I record all FORMS of words. Every noun in Polish has at least 14 forms, every adjective has 30-80 forms, same for verbs. Every form has entry in Wikidata and needs recording. But many of these forms are identical so in the end I have to record the same audio several times. It is independent from the fact the word is from frequency list. In other words word from frequency list has the same problem in Wikidata. BTW: I already follow frequency list in creating lexemes in Wikidata, but thanks :) [[User:KaMan|KaMan]] ([[User talk:KaMan|talk]]) 16:27, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

:Yes, if a new word has the same transcription, the same language and the same speaker as an old one, it will be override. If you want to record two homonym words that have a different pronunciation, you can add a small qualifier into brakets just after the word when you type it in the 3rd step of the RecordWizard. Everything that is inside brackets will be put aside, like on this record [[:File:LL-Q150 (fra)-0x010C-fils (enfant).wav]]. — [[User:0x010C|'''0'''x'''010<span style="color: #00C41C;">C</span>''']] <sup>[[User_talk:0x010C|~talk~]]</sup> 21:26, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

:Est-ce que ça t'es arrivé de nouveau depuis le 29 ? Si oui je vois deux possibilité : soit tu t'es fait déconnecté de Lingua Libre en plein milieu du versement, soit un filtre sur Commons bloque les uploads pour toi pour une raison mystérieuse. Si ça arrive de nouveau, peux-tu essayer d'ouvrir lingualibre dans un nouvel onglet, et vérifier dans cet autre onglet si tu es bien connecté ? Si le problème est là (mais ça devrait plus arriver normalement), une simple reconnexion dans l'onglet d'à côté suffit pour pouvoir ensuire reprendre le versement des enregistrements échoués.

Hello the team, from start I've been confused by the name "Record Wizard". A wizard for me is a man doing positive magic in middle age. ''Recording Studio'' or ''Recording Room'' would seems more expected and readable. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 16:33, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:There is everything fine with word "wizard" in this context, it has more than one meaning. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wizard : "A computer program or script used to simplify complex operations" Wizard for me fits better than Studio or Room in my opinion.

::It's a technolect, a word known by a minor community, aka "geeks" ^^. [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 18:41, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::: No, it's not technolect of geeks, it's well established element of user interfaces representing step-by-step process. Just google for "wizard user interface". I don't know why you don't know this term, but it is well known in English when it comes to describing user interfaces in computing. As you can read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_(software) the term is used by Microsoft for about 28 years and Microsoft definetly is not for geeks but for everyone.

::::We have to consider organizers and speakers with low English literacy, and we do have them. For [[Q51302|Atayal]], speaker have 0 English literacy, marginal Chinese literacy, organizer has basic English literacy, full Chinese literacy. Most very local languages ("dialects") are or will be in such case. Let's be honest with ourselves, the UI won't be translate in all these very local languages. They will likely use ur UI in one of the 8 Macro languages (cn, es, en, fr, ru, pt, hi, ar). Our UI language is a barrier.

Above rank 5000th it is in the [[Help:Why wordlists matter ?|range of vocabulary mastered by nearly fluent learners (C1)]]. I report my feeling that "wizard" is confusing, as it have been foor myself. IMHO our UI should be in [[:en:Basic English|Basic English]] to be readable to all users, same for other 8 macro languages, so to be friendly with basic literacy people in these Macro languages.

::::: I don't agree with you, UI should follow established UI guidelines. If all other software names step-by-step process by word "wizard" then we should do it as well. From the two words proposed by you "Room" is completly not recognizable in computing as name for wizard-like creator, and "Studio" is reserved for big, complex products like Visual Studio. Our "Record Wizard" is lightweight step-by-step creator and as such should be named like similar processes in similar software. Here are some examples to prove that word "wizard" is used for such step-by-step creators:

== Word frequencies for prioritizing, UNILEX and licence ==
 
 
 
Would it make sense to prioritize the data entry, so that users would start recording the most frequent words of a language, and then proceed to the less important words? If you’d like to do this, here’s the [https://github.com/unicode-org/unilex/tree/master/data/frequency word frequencies for 1000+ languages], mostly from [https://github.com/googlei18n/corpuscrawler crawled corpora]. Language codes are [[:en:IETF BCP47|IETF BCP47]]. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 08:56, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:This would be indeed useful. To be available on Lingua Libre, we have to create manually (or using bots) [[Help:Create your own lists|lists]] with these words. I will try to find some time to do it. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 12:04, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::Lol. Sascha is in computational lexicology [http://www.brawer.ch/articles/ since 1993] ^^ #Boss [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 16:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::Welcome Sascha, Happy to have your inputs,<br> We do encourage frequency lists usages (see [[Help:Why wordlists matter ?]]). LinguaLibre is still in it's open beta infancy.
 
::'''Process and quality :''' We started to add some frequency list (Polish) by hand based on Hermite Dave project ([https://github.com/hermitdave/FrequencyWords/blob/master/content/2016/pl/pl_50k.txt 50k list], [https://github.com/hermitdave/FrequencyWords github], [https://invokeit.wordpress.com/frequency-word-lists/ wordpress announcement]). Hermite's free data is helpful yet quite raw, namely: polluted by foreign languages. So when available, we use cleaner list from academic research. Ex: Chinese is planed via [[Template:Subtlex-ch|Subtlex-ch]]. These raw text lists are then copy-pasted into LL wikipages, so one of these lists is then loaded in the record wizard to provide a list of words for the speaker to read aloud. There is no interactive sorting, it's just loading the list as a text.
 
::'''Licence :''' The other issue we have is that half of frequency lists around have weird semi-free licenses not or unclearly compatible with Wikimedia projects. UNILEX's licence is the [http://unicode.org/copyright.html#License UNICODE licence]. <br>@LL team : Any idea how we handle data and license asking :
 
provided that either
 
(a) this copyright and permission notice appear with all copies of the Data Files or Software, or
 
(b) this copyright and permission notice appear in associated documentation.
 
::We copy it to the talkpage as well ? --[[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 16:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::Good point about the license. Theoretically I could ask the Unicode Consortium to change the license for Unilex to CC0; but like any relicensing discussion, this would take forever. As the person who started the Unilex project at Unicode, I currently have the impression that Wikidata Lexemes is going to be the better (more scalable, faster progressing, eventually higher quality) approach for collecting lexical data about the world’s languages. So, instead of starting a painful relicensing debate, I think it’ll be easier to simply run [https://github.com/googlei18n/corpuscrawler corpus crawler] to build these word lists from scratch. I’ve written that crawler a while ago to get started with the Unilex project; the Unilex word frequencies were built by running 1000 crawls (one for each language), and then segmenting their plaintext output with ICU word break iterators. I’ve now placed a link to the Corpus Crawler sources on [[Help:How_to_create_a_frequency_list_?#Download_corpuses|Help:How_to_create_a_frequency_list]], in case someone here wants to give it a try. If anything’s broken there, or to support additional languages in the crawler beyond the current 1000, just send a pull request via GitHub. You can also fork the crawler project if you want; the source code is a pretty dull Python script with a regular Apache-2.0 license. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 17:02, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Enable all human languages in bulk? ==
 
 
 
Would it be possible to support all existing human languages at once? Currently, one needs to file a request for each and every language. It’s not very clear how to do this (which of the admins to contact, and how exactly to contact them?). Also, the LinguaLibre admins surely can make better use of their time than by handling single language requests... For a list of all languages, see the [https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry IANA language subtag registry] for [https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ IETF BCP47]. There’s only a few thousand languages, so it might be easy to do this in one single bulk, and then be done. If it helps, I’ll gladly generate a list of (IETF-BCP47-Code, Wikidata-ID) with the mapping, or any other information you’d need for this; feel free to contact me. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 09:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:+1. I think there is some techical issues for search fields... anyway to go forward ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] ([[User talk:Yug|talk]]) 17:07, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::Hi Sascha,
 
::For now on, I only imported languages with an iso639-2 tag, to test Lingua Libre's software with a smaller set of languages for its start (Lingua Libre is still in ''beta''). Importing ''every languages in the world'' is planned, but not on the short term, because I still have to check if the database and the software is able to manage smoothly thousend and thousend of languages.

== Use IETF BCP47 instead of ISO 639? ==
 
 
 
Currently, LinguaLibre seems to use ISO 639 language codes internally. Consider switching to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag IETF BCP47]; all modern computing standards such as HTML, XML or PDF have moved from ISO 639 to IETF BCP47. For example, BCP47 syntax supports regional variants such as Canadian French ''fr-CA''; language variants such as Sursilvan Romansh ''rm-sursilv''; regional subdivisions such as the Berne variant of Swiss German ''gsw-u-sd-chbe''; and other fine-grained distinctions. See [https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ this article] for an introduction, and the [https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry IANA registry of valid subtags] for the complete list. Specifically, the proposal would be to add property [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1059900 IETF BCP47 language tag (Q1059900)] to LinguaLibre’s copy of the Wikidata schema, and to use that property instead of [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56217712 ISO 639-3 code (Q56217712)]. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 10:40, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:Hi Sascha!
 
:In fact, Lingua Libre uses nor ISO 639-3 nor BCP47 but Wikidata Qids as internal identifier for a language. Currently, and if I remember correctly, ISO639-3 codes are used in two cases:
 
:* For the name of pages containing lists in the list namespace (in the format <nowiki>[[List:ISO/List name]]</nowiki>, with ISO the iso6369-3 code);
 
:* To forge Wikimedia Commons's category names
 
:Changing the code would affect ''only'' those two parts of the process. If we switch from one language tag to an other, we would have to:
 
:* Add a new property ''BCP47'' locally as you suggested (a bot can import them from Wikidata);
 
:* Rename all local lists (can be made by hand, we don't have many lists for now on);
 
:* Rename all existing Wikimedia Commons categories and move all the audio recordings (a bot there is required);
 
:I have personnaly no opinion on this question, but if several person agree that it would be a good move, I'll add it to the development todo-list :).

::Cool! I wasn’t aware that you’re internally using Wikidata IDs. This is great, because (other than ISO 639-3) it can model arbitrary languages and dialects.
 
::* Regarding the lists, would it perhaps be an option to key them by Wikidata ID? Then, arbitrary languages/dialects could be queried, and also regional variants such as Australian English. I don’t know how your server is implemented, but perhaps you could map language codes to Wikidata IDs in your frontend server, so it would not even have to be a user-visible change (apart from supporting more languages).
 
::* Regarding the names of categories on Wikimedia Commons, what would you think of the [https://lingualibre.fr/wiki/LinguaLibre:Chat_room#Category_.E2.80.9CLingua_Libre_pronunciation-other.E2.80.9D proposal] to use IETF language codes instead of “other”?

== Compress audio? ==
 
 
 
Should LinguaLibre upload its pronunciations in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC FLAC format] instead of uncompressed Wave files? FLAC is a lossless compression, so it would save space (and bandwidth for users) without losing quality. The only downside is that LinguaLibre’s server would use a bit more CPU, but that’s probably a very minor issue since it’s only needed once per file. To convert to FLAC in maximal compression, you can use something `ffmpeg -i input.wav -compression_level 12 output.flac`. Wikimedia Commons automatically transcodes FLAC to Vorbis and to MP3; see [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rm-sursilv-caschiel.flac example for an uploaded FLAC file]. Just a thought. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 15:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

== Category “Lingua Libre pronunciation-other” ==
 
 
 
In this [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LL-Q688348-Sascha-test.wav test], LinguaLibre has assigned a Commons category [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-other Lingua Libre pronunciation-other]. Instead of “other”, could it use the IETF language tag (if present in Wikidata)? To get it, retrieve property [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P305 P305] from the Wikidata record for the language. And perhaps fall back to the Wikidata ID for languages that don’t have an IETF code. Then, the recordings from unrelated languages wouldn’t get conflated. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 15:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:Indeed, this point has to improved on Lingua Libre. See [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208641 T208641] on Phabricator. About IETF codes, the problem is they do not cover all the languages/dialects spoken on earth. So the problem remains for languages that do not have IETF code.

== Normalize loudness ==
 
 
 
Should LinguaLibre normalize the loudness of recordings to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBU_R_128 EBU R 128], so that pronunciations are perceived equally loud irrespective of user microphones? ffmpeg can do this, either if you call it directly (rather painful), or via the [https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize ffmpeg-normalize] wrapper script. It’s also possible to embed metadata with measured loudness, which some (but not all) players recognize; but in the context of LinguaLibre, it might be best to normalize loudness on the server and resample the signal accordingly. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 16:53, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:I would like this normalization for my usages as well, language learning.<br>Note @[[User:Sascha|Sascha]] : relevant ''normalize loudness'', ''denoising'' , ''fading-in-and-out'' cleanups commands to document in [[Help:Main#Download,_clean,_web_use]] > [[Help:SoX]] (to rename?).

:If normalization was done before uploading to Wikimedia Commons, all Wikipedia users would benefit (eg. when someone clicks on pronunciation icon on Wikipedia, they’d hear the recording in uniform loudness, denoised, etc.). If normalization is done in utility scripts called by end users, the set of people who benefit from this will be much smaller. The trade-off is that the recordings wouldn’t get preserved in their original form, but that’s probably not much an issue for LinguaLibre? — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 06:24, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

== Request for Comment: Moving from ISO 639-3 language codes to IETF BCP47 ==
 
 
 
Hi Lingua Libre users,
 
 
 
[[User:Sascha|Sascha]] suggested several times that Lingua Libre should switch from [[:w:ISO 639-3|ISO 639-3 language codes]] to [[:w:IETF language tag|IETF BCP47 language tags]]. If we do that, it will be a major change in the Lingua Libre code-base. I will summarize here the different usages, pros & cons of such a switch.
 
 
 
Please share your opinion on this bellow!
 
 
 
Thank you all for your participation. — [[User:0x010C|'''0'''x'''010<span style="color: #00C41C;">C</span>''']] <sup>[[User_talk:0x010C|~talk~]]</sup> 16:59, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 
 
 
=== Overview ===
 
Lingua Libre uses Wikidata Qids as internal identifier of a language. So the proposed change will not affect the core of the Record Wizard. Currently, ISO639-3 codes are used in four cases:
 
* For the name of pages containing lists in the list namespace (in the format <nowiki>[[List:ISO/List name]]</nowiki>, with ISO the iso6369-3 code);
 
* In the name of the [https://lingualibre.fr/datasets/ datasets archives];
 
* In the description of the local item of each audio recording;
 
* To forge Wikimedia Commons's category names;
 
* To forge each file name that is uploaded on Wikimedia Commons;
 
 
 
; Technical considerations
 
If we switch from one language tag to an other, to be consistent and use the new language tag everywhere, we would have to:
 
# Create a new property ''BCP47'', and add it to every language items localy, for the Record Wizard to be able to use them (a bot can import them from Wikidata);
 
# Rename all local word lists (can be made by hand, we don't have many lists for now on);
 
# Make a quick adaptation in the script that generates the datasets;
 
# Rename all existing Wikimedia Commons categories and move all the audio recordings (a bot there is required);
 
# Update the description of the item of every audio recording in our database (a bot can do it);
 
# Change the way the Record Wizard manages the recording of duplicate words in two different recording sessions: it currently check if a file  has already the forged name on Wikimedia Commons, but as the format of the name would change, we won't be able to rely on it anymore.
 
 
 
;Pros
 
* BCP47 is widely used in computing standards;
 
* It has codes for way more languages and dialects;
 
* It will solve the categorization issue we have currently on Wikimedia Commons (see [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208641#4873999 T208641]);
 
* We will have a language code to display for way more languages and dialects (we only show the Wikidata Qid in file names for small languages curently, which is not very user-friendly, e.g. [[:File:LL-Q36759-Assassas77-歡喜.wav]]);
 
* Allow to have word lists working as expected for small languages / dialects;
 
* Some Wiktionaries (like the French Wiktionary) use this standard to refer to a language in their templates; this is also the case of Wikibase (and so Wikidata) for the language of labels and description.
 
 
 
;Cons
 
* As we cannot rename 60.000+ files on Wikimedia Commons, two different file format will have to coexist (but this is not an issue if you use the SPARQL endpoint to extract the metadatas);
 
* As of today, only [http://tinyurl.com/yby5dgb8 3003 languages] have their IETF language tag filled on Wikidata (we have currently [http://tinyurl.com/y8gd77lp 8028 languages] with an ISO 639-3 code listed);
 
* Once the changes made to the Record Wizard and the migration scripts ready to run, we would have to turn off the Record Wizard for one or several days, while the different bots are running to avoid unsynchronized items and conflicts.

# '''Contre''' : French wiktionnary don't use IETF code. Sorry I continue in french : L'IETF fait n'importe quoi avec les langues régionales, c'est pire que ISO 639-3. Nous n'utilisons pas les code IETF, jamais à aucun moment. Soit on prend le code ISO, ce qui marche pour 5000 langues environ, soit on prend le nom de la langue en français, ou en anglais si absent. Aujourd'hui, les contributeurs du Wiktionnaire tendent à s'affranchir de plus en plus des codes et de passer sur les noms de langues en tant que clés primaires. La seule organisation qui fassent l'unanimité sur les langues parce que gérée uniquement par des linguistes, c'est Glottolog, à la limite, on peut se caler dessus, ce sont les plus neutres.

# '''Oppose (weakly)''' IETF looks to assign a code to more languages than ISO 639-3 codes. Yet, it does not solve all the issue because I guess it is possible to find language/dialect that do not have either ISO 639-3 or IETF code. In such case, all the issues we have with ISO 639-3 remain the same. If we have to switch to another code system, I has to solve some issues, not only to postpone them. From now, the only code that is flexible and can desribe all language/dialect is the Wikidata code but there are probably other issues if we decide to use them. But since I do not precisely IETF code, I may be wrong so that I do not want to oppose strongly. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 19:37, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 
# '''Oppose''' per Pamputt: if it not covers all the dialects then we still have the same problem. Also I don't feel comfortable with two systems in filenames in Commons. I have lots of homonims in Polish and I afraid I would have two files for the same pronounciation from Lingua Libre for one transcription. That would be nightmare for bot operators adding audio files to wiktionaries. [[User:KaMan|KaMan]] ([[User talk:KaMan|talk]]) 09:00, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 
# '''Support''': There’s a couple misunderstandings here. IETF BCP47 is actually ''not'' yet another random codelist that would be different from ISO codes. Rather, BCP47 is a standardized system (and very widely used, eg. in HTML, XML and HTTP) that combinines subtags from other standards. For languages, subtags are taken from ISO 639; for countries, from ISO 3166-1; for provinces/states, from ISO 3166-2; etc. Also, you can add custom information into BCP47 tags without breaking the syntax; this could be used for embedding Wikidata IDs. Here’s a few examples: `en` for English (from ISO 639-1); `haw` for Hawaiian (from ISO 639-3, because Hawaiian has no two-letter code in ISO 639-1); `fr-CA` for Canadian French (language + country); `pt-AO` for Angolan Portuguese; `es-419` for Latin American Spanish (419 is the United Nations M.49 code for Latin America). There is a registry for standardized variants, for example the BCP47 code `rm-sursilv` stands for the Sursilvan variant of Romansh. When a language does not fit into the scheme, you can always append (short) pieces of “private” data after `-x-`. For example, you could encode Verlan (which doesn’t have an ISO language code) as an IETF BCP47 language tag `mis-x-Q1429662` or so. Admittedly, the Wikipedia article about BCP47 is not very helpful at the moment, and the standard itself is very technical. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 20:10, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 
#: As I said, I do not know a lot about IETF BCP47 so I may be wrong. Yet, from the examples you give, you say that the language code comes from ISO 639, so actually if a language do not have ISO 639 code, then BCP47 will not have either. The only advantage I see, compared to ISO 639, is it can represent dialect and regional language (Canada French for example). Youwrite that if a language do not have ISO 639 code, then we can use something like `mis-x-Q1429662`. I do not see what is the advantage compared to simply use Wikidata ID (Q1429662 instead of mis-x-Q1429662). [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 22:21, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 
#::In names of [https://lingualibre.fr/datasets/ dataset archives], names of uploaded pronunciation files, and in the other [[LinguaLibre:Chat_room#Overview|places]] where Lingua Libre currently uses ISO 639-3 codes, a BCP 47 tag would be easier to understand than just the Wikidata ID alone. For example, an IETF BCP 47 tag ''nan-x-Q36759'' would identify [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teochew_dialect Teochew] as a variant of Southern Min (ISO 639-3: nan) while still pointing to Wikidata [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36759 Q36759] for the exact identification. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 07:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 
# '''Support''': I already have problems due to the impossibility to distinct variants in occitan. For instance, if a gascon occitan want to record words from a predefinite list (because he has no idea of which words to record), he can't search for a list in its variant. He will click randomly on lists names, until he got one in his variant (which can takes long and cause him to give up).
 
#:Second, on Commons, it will be easier for people who doesn't know Wikidata (for instance a teacher who wants to download words in a variety to have his pupils listening them) to get the variety of the word, directly in the results of the search page (with the filenames).
 
#:Third, for the compatibility with developpers programs. At Lo Congrès, we work with RFC5646 (we needed a way to indicate variants). If we make a program which queries Lingua Libre, we need to add a query via Wikidata to get the variety code compatible with our programs. It slows the page and make the work longer.
 
#:I work every day on a language with variants, and for the sort of work I (and others) do, it would be a real improvement. So maybe IETF is theoretically problematic for his language classement, but ISO 639-3 is pragmatically problematic. As a developer, I prefer a usable system that doesn't fit exactly the reality than a system teoretically right that can't be used without a lot of difficulties. — [[User:Unuaiga|Unuaiga]] ([[User talk:Unuaiga|talk]]) 16:21, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 
# '''Support''' (for human friendly filenames): I was slow to answer because it's indeed a tricky issue. For all recordings, the value of their langtags −Qids, ISO639-3, BCP47−, exist or can be created. Qids are always new creations assigned when creating the language on LL's wiki, whereas ISO639-3 and BCP47 can exist OR be extended. Each langtag family can covers +5000 languages and do the job we need them for up to 2025~ 2030, with custom extensions when required easier for Qid (still normal creation) and BCP47 (custom extension). Then, the equivalences between these 3 or more langtags can be found by wikimedia editors or outsiders via the Qid or Wikidata pages and few clicks. Afterwhat each langtag and its value can find its way back into the filename via some replacement script. So for me '''these Qids, ISO639-3, BCP47 langtags are technically equivalents : they each can do the work''' and be quite interchangeable.<br>'''The question is on HUMAN USAGES'''. Three groups of humans will manages these files and filenames : 1) LL speakers, organizers and editors ; 2) wikimedia users ; 3) outsiders like android app developers and non-recording linguists. Who is more important ? To who do we want to make access, readability and work easier ? What is their spontaneous knowledge ?
 
#* '''The current way: opaque Qid-based filename online, post-download processing to make them readable'''. We have filename with unreadable Qids, with the actual human-friendly value on LinguaLibre Qid's page. So for us LL editors and maintainers, if we find out our language definition is obsolete, we just update the LL Qid's page, and new people coming there for reference will see the corrected values. For end users on wikimedia cannot directly recognize the language. After files or datasets download, batch renaming commands documented on LL can help end users to renames files as they wish.
 
#* '''Datasets and filenames should be  human-readable pre-downnload'''. If so, then the ISO 639-3-based IETF BCP-47 can cover 99% of our easy usages, and BCP-47 has native flexibility to create code for the 1% weird cases. Wikimedia users and outside-wikimedia users will appreciate. If we make mistakes, the vitality of open data spread wrongly name files and will get us troubles.
 
#* We will need better LinguaLibre-Commons maintenance bots and more bots masters, so we don't always rely on 0x010C, who thereby become our bottleneck. We also need way to massively rename or remove files from Commons.
 
#* I personally think we have to ease readability to outsiders, app developers and linguists who won't find their way through LL documentations. Also, I'am supporting a move toward human-friendly filenames, from LL website down to wikimedia sites and post-download outsiders' desktops computers.

=== Tricky example ===
+
== Kinyarwanda language representation ==
Let's take a concrete example, what would be the code for the [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60610865 Gudjal language], a Pama-Nyungan language spoken in Australia? This language has neither ISO 639 code nor BCP47 code. It has a Glottolog, AUSTLANG and endangeredlanguages.com identifiers. So if we decide to switch to BCP47, what would be the advantage compared to the existing one (ISO 639) because there is no code in both systems? We simply delay the discussion on the problem of languages or dialects without code. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 12:20, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 
: Since Gudjal is a dialect/variant of Warrungu whose BCP47 code is ''wrg'', the BCP47 code for Gudjal would be ''wrg-x-Q60610865''. To find the prefix for arbitrary languages in Wikidata, it looks like we’ll have to clean up Wikidata a bit. For example, currently there’s no statement in Wikidata linking [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1429662 Verlan] to French; we’d need that to come up with the code ''fr-x-Q1429662'' for Verlan. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 19:23, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::Indeed, wrong example because some work say this "language" is actually a dialect of the Warrungu language.
 
::So let us consider the [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4997965 Bunwurrung language], another Pama-Nyungan language spoken in Australia. This one does not seem to be (yet?) a dialect of another language. So, what would be its BCP47 code? The same for [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56261010 Bwenelang language], a Austronesian language spoken in Vanuatu. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 20:11, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:::In the short term, their codes would be mis-x-Q4997965 and mis-x-Q56261010. In the long term, it would be good to assign ISO 639-3 codes to these languages. This is actually quite easy (if there’s references about the language). See [https://iso639-3.sil.org/about/faq FAQ], or this [https://iso639-3.sil.org/sites/iso639-3/files/change_requests/2018/2018-021.pdf example registration request]. Requests are [https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_changes/change_management reviewed once per year]. All changes to ISO 639-3 also go into the registry for BCP 47. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 11:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 
::::Thanks for the examples. In my opinion, "mis-x-Q4997965" is more cryptic than only "Q4997965". If a language has a ISO 639-3 code, then the BCP47 code is indeed easier to understand than a Qid. So, as I already said, the advantage is to make clearer the code for the dialects but it does not solve all the problems (such as these two languages. Since such code change will not be done every month, I would prefer to have a better solution (more universal) before breaking/changing everything. [[User:Pamputt|Pamputt]] ([[User talk:Pamputt|talk]]) 17:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 
:::::I find <code>mis-x-Q4997965</code> less crypting : as soon as you know the naming scheme you can assume  <code>mis-x-*</code> is a rare language. If 98% of our languages get clearer with BCP47, and 2% are such as <code>mis-x-Q4997965</code>, it's a net improvement of 98%, let's go for it.

=== Encoding Wikidata IDs into BCP47 ===
+
I'm Robert RUGAMBA from Rwanda and i belong to Wikimedia Rwanda as a volunteer and event organizer.
By the way, in a BCP47 language tag such as ''wrg-x-Q60610865'', anyone can stuff anything after -x- which is flexible but not ideal for an identification scheme. I’m now preparing a formal proposal for encoding Wikidata IDs into BCP47 language tags. BCP47 already draws subtags from many other registries such as ISO 639, ISO 3166, UN M.49 and others; so why not treating Wikidata as yet another “registration authority”. If the proposal gets accepted, the official syntax would be something different than ''-x-''. Just for your information; I’ve no idea if the proposal gets accepted, and it usually takes a long time to make changes. — [[User:Sascha|Sascha]] ([[User talk:Sascha|talk]]) 12:20, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

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

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).

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)

Uploads are failing for me today too, even though I am recording with my account. Culex (talk) 15:04, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I can record, but i couldn’t uploaded until today. I was able to upload once yesterday, but after that I couldn't upload any more. Ardzun (talk) 06:04, 11 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)
