MinT Machine Translation enabled and plans to deploy Content and Section Translation to Limburgish Wikipedia

Haj Limburgish Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

The WMF Language team has added a machine translation (MT) system supporting Content Translation for the first time in your Wikipedia called MinT; you can use MinT machine translation when translating Wikipedia articles using the Content Translation tool.

The WMF Language team provides the MinT service. It is hosted in the Wikimedia Foundation Infrastructure with neural machine translation models that other organizations have released with an open-source license. MinT integrates translation based on NLLB-200 and OpusMT and will replace those as separate options. This MT will be set as default in your Wikipedia. Still, you can choose not to use it by selecting "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.

Since MinT is hosted in the WMF Infrastructure and the models are open source, it adheres to Wikipedia's policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user and brand representation. You can find more information about the MinT Machine translation and the models on this page.

Please note that the use of the MinT MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:

• use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
• please provide feedback about the service and its quality, and ask questions about this addition.

Plans to deploy the Content and Section translation tool

Now that you have Machine Translation support in your Wikipedia, We will enable the Content and Section translation by default to your Wikipedia if there are no objections from your community.

The Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

• Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones
• Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device

After enabling it, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to try the current implementation of the Section Translation tool in our testing instance and raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page

 

We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content and Section Translation tool once it is enabled.

Thank you!

Welk dialekt?

Beste medewikipedianen, ik zit met het volgende probleem, ik ben een native speaker van Limburgs maar mijn roots zijn gemixt met een vader uit Blerick, een moeder uit Roermond, zelf geboren in Sittard, verhuisd naar Maastricht en opgegroeid in Heerlerheide, waar mijn omgeving Heerlens Nederlands sprak. Jullie begrijpen dat ik niet zou weten of mijn “vervuild” Roermonds wel de juiste Limburgse woorden bevat laat staan correct schrijven in een spelling die ik nooit heb aangeleerd. Ik denk dat vanwege de hoge mobiliteit met mij veel native speakers met hetzelfde probleem zitten. Wat is wijsheid? Hans Erren (euverlègk) 17 jun 2023 15:24 (CEST)

Daag Hans, good totste diech hei weer ins vertuins!

Watste zègks is woer: väöl Limbörgers praote nog gewoen Limbörgs, meh neet 't plat vaan ein plaots in 't bezunder. Die zouwe hei eigelek neet mote weure aofgesjrik door al dat "raszuver" Mestreechs of Mofers. Dus laot iech um te beginne zègke: sjrief rösteg 't Limbörgs wieste dat zelf praots, dao kiek diech geine op aon!

Um te beginne de spelling. Dat is ouch e punt veur lui die wel ei dialek in 't bezunder sjrieve. In 't begin is 't lesteg, meh de kins 't diech liere. V'r höbbe dao dit blaad veur. Perbeer 't veural ins, en bis neet te bang um foute te make. De kins 't allein liere door te perbere.

Daan dien ander punt. Eigelek höbbe veer noets hel aofspraoke gemaak euver regiolectisch Limbörgs (e regiolek is de taol vaan 'n groeter regio, beveurbeeld Midde-Limbörg of 't Heuvelland, boe de versjèlle tösse de dialekte oonderein zien verdwene). V'r höbbe hei wel joonger lui gehad die vaan hoes oet regiolek spreke, meh ziech gans in 't plat vaan hun eige plaots höbbe verdeep. Dat kinne v'r natuurlek neet vaan edereine vraoge. 't Plezeer vaan de Limbörgse Wikipedia is noe zjus totste in dien eige taol kins sjrieve. De praktijk wienie iemes regiolek sjrijf is dèks tot v'r 't {dialek}-sjabloon bovenaon weglaote. Zoelaank es edere Limbörger dat kin leze maak dat ouch neet oet.

Deh, wat dinkste devaan? Laot mer hure, in dien eige plat! Steinbach 🦇 (euverlègk) 17 jun 2023 16:09 (CEST)

Daag Hans Erren! Ich kal egelig ooch gee plat va 'n specifieke plaatsj. 't Is 'ne mismasj, e regiolek dus: get wat vöal Limburgers, en mit name luu oet 't Huuevelland en de Parksjtad, good versjtoa. In 't begin kosde 't mich zelfs vöal muijte um plat te sjrieve. Toch is 't mich gelök, dus ich geleuf dat 't dich dan ooch geet lökke. Probeer 't inderdaad geweun! V'r zunt al vroeë das-te bereid bis um mit te doeë! :) --Zjweëgelke (euverlègk) 17 jun 2023 22:46 (CEST)

Hans Erren De zous om te beginne 'ns kinne bekieke wie bieveurbeeld Remunj en Remunjs zint gesjreve. En es 't neet helemaol klop wat de opsjriefs, verbetert emes angesj hie dien biedrages vas waal (zo wie 't eigelik ummer heurt op 'ne wiki). Väöl succes!

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Haj!

Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:

<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>

The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.

{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}

Could become:

<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.

Thank you!

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

Meer talen • Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best,

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 28 aug 2023 17:35 (CEST)

Coming soon: Reference Previews

A new feature is coming to your wiki soon: Reference Previews are popups for references. Such popups have existed on wikis as local gadgets for many years. Now there is a central solution, available on all wikis, and consistent with the PagePreviews feature.

Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them, you can opt out. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.

Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.

• Help page
• Project page with more information (in English).
• Feedback is welcome on this talk page.

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
4. Request local admins for site notice.
5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team
