You want to help us to translate Lingua Libre in your language? That's a great news! As this website runs on MediaWiki, the software used by Wikipedia, it can be translated in a lot of language. Here are the places where you could help translating the website.
Translatewiki.net
Translatewiki.net is an external wiki dedicated to translation. It manages especially the translation of the core of MediaWiki, and many of its extensions.
Petra
Most of the core interface of this wiki plus some specific extensions like:
- RecordWizard (it is the core extension of Lingua Libre, the complete multi-step process allowing mass recording of pronunciation files);
- QueryViz (the extension to display sparql queries results inside wiki pages)
How to edit
Login into translatewiki.net, then go to the translation interface for the Record Wizard: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=mwgithub-recordwizard.
Those messages are updated once a week.
System messages
What
- The main page;
- RecordWizard's tutorial
- Navigation items
How to edit
System messages are only editable by administrators. If you want to add or edit a translation, just add a request on this page. Administrators will make the change as soon as they can.
On-wiki translation
What
- All help pages;
- All meta pages;
- ...
How to edit
This is managed using the Translate extension of Mediawiki. Every page requiring a translation has a link to do it at the top, but you can also find, review and translate every texts that need one on this special page. Edits made will be immediately available to visitors.
If a page is not available for translation, you can ask a translation administrator or administrator to mark the page for translation.
The full list of pages marked for translation is available here and the progess statistics for your language are available here.
Wikibase items
What
- The languages names inside the RecordWizard are extracted from the labels of local language items, which are imported from Wikidata.
How to edit
You could edit directly the local item of a language, but the best way to do it is to edit Wikidata. Once logged there, go to the corresponding item (you can find a link to it through our local items, inside the Wikidata ID (P12) property, e.g. Q21#P12 for French). Edits there are imported on Lingua Libre once per week.
