LinguaLibre:About/ms

Lingua Libre merupakan satu projek di bawah Wikimédia France bertujuan untuk membina "korpus audiovisual" secara bekerjasama dan berbilang bahasa di bawah lesen percuma dengan tujuan untuk:

• Meluaskan ilmu pengetahuan berkaitan bahasa dan dalam bahasa dalam kaedah audiovisual di laman sesawang, projek-projek Wikimedia malahan di luar platform tersebut;
• Menyokong pembentukan dan perkembangan masyarakat bahasa atas talian — terutamanya yang berkaitan dengan bahasa-bahasa minoriti, bahasa-bahasa tempatan, bahasa-bahasa lisan atau bahasa-bahasa isyarat yang kurang dititikberatkan — supaya dengan usaha ini dapat membantu masyarakat mengakses maklumat atas talian dan mengekalkan kebertahanan penggunaan bahasa-bahasa ini di kalangan masyarakat.

Kini sudah terdapat 1100 ahli serta 800,000+ fail-fail rakaman suara di Lingua Libre, jom sertai kami

Rakam suara anda

Bagaimana ingin menyertai?

Anda boleh guna "Lingua Libre" dengan cara menjelajah dan mengguna semula rakaman suara, memberi sumbangan kepada korpus melalui merakam kata demi kata, atau menaiktaraf laman ini dengan rundingan daripada komuniti di sini.

Tab Record Wizard (atau dikenali sebagai Pintar Rakam) membenarkan perakaman audio-audio pendek (1 kata, 1 frasa), mengkategori rakaman tersebut lalu menerbitkan rakaman tersebut di Commons Wikimedia dengan menggunakan satu komputer atau satu telefon pintar. Untuk melakukan perkara tersebut anda diminta untuk melog masuk atau mencipta akaun pengguna baharu. Panduan pengguna disediakan pada laman bantuan.

Untuk mengubahsuai laman-laman tersebut, anda hanya perlu melog masuk dan tekan Ubahsuai. Untuk menambah lebih banyak halaman, terdapat dua langkah: masukkan tajuk laman yang anda ingin cipta di enjin carian, dengan imbuhan awal "LinguaLibre:". Satu mesej akan tampil untuk menjemput anda mencipta laman tersebut. Untuk mengubahsuai laman-laman yang penting, sila berunding dengan komuniti LinguaLibre terlebih dahulu.

Berinteraksi dengan komuniti

Tidak perlulah anda teragak-agak untuk memberitahu pasukan apa-apa sahaja aspek yang boleh diperbaiki. Untuk mencadang penambahbaikan, perbincangan biasanya diadakan di Bilik Sembang, atau melalui e-mel, atau di Discord.

Why participate?

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

• Lack of diversity: While the web is in theory open to everyone, its content is far from representing all languages proportionally. More than 50% of websites are in English; only 301 of the world's 7000+ languages have a free encyclopedia ^[1], with a content that is inferior in quality and quantity to those of more endowed languages such as Wikipedia in English^[1],[2]. In addition, these websites host content that broadly reflects and meets Western standards and needs through the medium of the written word, which explains and helps to perpetuate their lack of linguistic diversity.

• Lack of orality: Although languages are essentially spoken (only 4,000 of the world's 7,000 languages have a writing system)^[4], knowledge sharing and communication via new information and communication technologies (NICTs) is mainly done in writing, particularly on the web, despite the rich multimedia format it allows. This mediation of the oral through the written word raises many barriers to contribution, such as the use of Unicode characters, the culture of the written word, the orthographic standardisation of the language or the literacy rate of the community.

• These lacks of diversity and orality limit the ability of Internet users to communicate and contribute online to various web platforms where they cannot find content and communities sharing their language. Among the regional minority languages that are oral or signed, they threaten in particular the poorly endowed ones, many of which are currently in danger of extinction and for whom inclusion on the web is a major challenge and opportunity.

• Indeed, of the 7000 languages in existence today, it is estimated that only 2500 will survive to the next century and only 250 (less than 5%!) will make their digital ascent — i.e. be used regularly for communication purposes in the digital space by native speakers who are comfortable on the web — a factor which is yet essential for their vitality^[5]. Current initiatives by linguists and activists to document and share data, resources and content online in the languages to be preserved do not directly contribute to the development of a digitally-ascendant linguistic community of Internet users, and thus remain limited in their impact.

• Lingua Libre aims to make up for this lack of support by placing itself at the service of linguistic communities wishing to insert and promote their language into the digital space by exploring alternative means of communication to the written word, in the hope that this will free up online communication in a growing number of languages. This objective favours by its very nature regional minority languages that are poorly endowed in terms of oral or signed language, but also benefits more endowed languages that wish to highlight their oral and visual aspects. To fulfil its mission, Lingua Libre offers an online solution for mass recording, leading to the publication of a collaborative multilingual audiovisual corpus under free licence, whose vocation is information through consultation, and revitalisation by triggering the contribution of new language communities on Lingua Libre and then outside.
