Fra/Lemmas-without-audio-sorted-by-number-of-wiktionaries

Hi @Olaf thank you very much for this list, I find it very useful!

I have a few questions (that also applies to this list in other languages):

How often exactly does Olafbot check if some words of the list have been recorded?
If I change the name of this list (to translate it in French for example), do you need to change the bot's code?
I believe you once said that the bot's code is in Java, do you have a repository containing the code? Is your bot running on a personal server or on ToolForge?

Thank you very much, all the best! — WikiLucas (🖋️) 15:27, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Ad 1. Every three hours all around the clock. However, it's based on the sorted list of the number of wiktionaries that contain a French language section for each word. This list is refreshed much less frequently - about once per two weeks because this is how long it takes for 72 languages.

Ad 2. Yes. But you may just create a redirection to this list from the French translation.

Ad 3. The bot is running from Polish Wikimedia's Tool Server. The code does a lot of mundane tasks in Polish Wiktionary, the lists for Lili are just a side job based on the same data which has been used to generate these lists: wikt:pl:Kategoria:Rankingi_brakujących_słów_według_wystąpień_w_innych_wikisłownikach since 2011. I'm sorry, I know it's against the Wikimedia custom, but I haven't published the source code. I started this bot 12 years ago, when my programming skills were much lower, and the code is very clumsy and old-fashioned. Now as a senior developer I can't afford to publish it because it could hinder my future job perspective if somebody found this code looking up my name on the Internet. :-) In fact, I should refactor the whole thing, but it's 53000 lines of a hopeless Java code, so I'm probably forced to maintain it forever. Perhaps I could extract and publish the fragment used for LiLi lists alone, but as it shares the source data with the lists for Polish Wiktionary, it doesn't make much sense.

@Olaf Thank you very much for your answer 🙂 I created a redirection to this list with a French name and it works fine. We might have to do the same (using a user-friendly name) for the 71 other languages in the future, in order to increase the visibility of your lists.

I totally understand your situation regarding your java code. As part of my Residence as a Lingua Librist at 2IF (see here), we want to organize a little (French-speaking) hackathon in Lyon (France) this summer (to improve lists in French -- and eventually any language), and I might come back to you then, asking for advice 🙂

Thank you for the time you spend on Lingua Libre, it is highly valuable.

All the best — WikiLucas (🖋️) 15:06, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Unwanted words

Hello @Olaf is there a way to remove a word from this list without having the bot adding it again at its next cycle? Here, the word "abandonar" is a mistake, it does not exist in French.

@WikiLucas00 Not at the moment, but I'm working on it. Olaf (talk) 11:58, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

@WikiLucas00 Done. There is an exclusion list implemented for each language. For French use this link: fra. In particular "abandonar" is no longer present on the "Lemmas-without-audio" list. Olaf (talk) 09:32, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
