Welcome
Lingua Libre is a project which aims to build a collaborative multilingual audiovisual corpus under free licence in order to expand knowledge about languages and help online language communities to develop.
You can help us!
You can visit this page if you want to learn more about the project.
You can create your User page by clicking on it. We recommend that you integrate the babel template onto it. It is very useful to indicate to others the languages you speak, and to facilitate finding other persons speaking your languages. If you are not familiar with wikicode, you can go to this demo User page, read the instructions and copy the prepared babel template, and then paste it onto your user page before adapting it to your information. You can then publish your User page!
- Follow the steps of the Record Wizard
- Think of the words you want to record. You may enter them one by one (live list), use an existing category from a Wiktionary or Wikipedia project, or create your own list.
You can visit this help page where you will find advice for beginning your contributions on Lingua Libre. If you did not find the answer to your question, please ask it in the Chat room.
- Try to avoid background noises during the recording
- Please listen to the pronunciations before uploading them
- Consider using an external microphone
Welcome !
Hello Marreromarco, nice to see you found your way and filled a request. It's not public yet but a v.2.0 of our bot will arrive around January 2022 (reasonable projection). Spanish may be included in v.1.0, or wait for inclusion into the v.2.0. Both way requires the same informations from the bot request you are discussing at the moment with Pamputt. All good :) Yug (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yug Merci pour votre message ! I would like to mention that it would be useful if LinguaLibre follows the example of Forvo to increase the number of language learners interested in the Project.
- Forvo.com has a way of displaying the information that engage users and makes it very easy to find pronunciations in their "target" language. For example, if I would like to know how to pronounce "Honoré de Balzac" in French, it would be faster to find the audio on Forvo than on LinguaLibre. Also Forvo displays the data in a way more appealing to language learners:
- Would it be possible to improve the way that data is displayed on LinguaLibre to make it more appealing to Language Learners ? --Marreromarco 16:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- YES ! There are proposal in this direction, but LinguaLibre being a volunteers-based team, we are moving slowly. Forvo is a for-profit entity, it locks the copyright and resale of recordings made on its platform to itself and the speaker-creator to then sell those recordings with a profit. They therefor have money to sustain their effort. We are shorter on that. Yug (talk) 16:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
