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
Little warnings
Hello @Ropsterkwater and thank you for your recent contributions to Lingua Libre! I've noticed a few files that you recently recorded, and I have a few warnings to give you. I believe your last recordings (12-02-2022) are all in English, although they are marked as Dutch (nld). This is a common mistake to make when one records in several languages, and to prevent it one should be careful at step 3 of the Record Wizard (the top-right box tells you which language you will be recording in). Another detail is about using capital letters for your recordings. Lingua Libre is case-sensitive, which means that we have to use capital letters only when they are needed (e.g. for proper names, or for nouns in some languages). For example, Enterprise (Q759217) should have been named in lower case.
Using the correct language and the correct case will allow bots to better integrate your audios to Wikimedia projects. Luckily you only made a few recordings with these mistakes, but please pay attention to this in the future 🙂
Thank you again for your recordings and I hope you like contributing to Lingua Libre!
