[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T187344: Add language codes for Arabic languages for use in labels, aliases and descriptions to Wikidata
Baba_Tabita added a comment. As has been said, for use in labels and descriptions, a language has to be added to the ULS. Afaik, any language to be added to the ULS has to have a certain proportion of translations done at translatewiki.net - see https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#How_to_add_a_new_language I wanted Rangi [lag] added to the ULS (once upon a time) and am still working on it. Without professional translators who know what they're doing, i.e. have the technical vocabulary, and are also native speakers of the target language, I don't see how this can happen.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187344EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Baba_TabitaCc: thiemowmde, Arrbee, KartikMistry, Jsahleen, jhsoby, Petar.petkovic, santhosh, Mbch331, Bassem, Ibrahim.ID, Helmoony, FShbib, ASammour, Jar, Meno25, TerraCodes, Jay8g, Liuxinyu970226, Nikerabbit, Amire80, GerardM, satdeep_gill, millosh, Baba_Tabita, Aklapper, alanajjar, Csisc, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Jayprakash12345, QZanden, LawExplorer, Soum213, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, Luke081515, Wikidata-bugs, Snowolf, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T115892: Merging broken, doesn't move content or creates redirects
Baba_Tabita added a subscriber: Baba_Tabita. Baba_Tabita added a comment. The problem seems to involve any interwiki additions using the sidebar of wikipedia articles. I have earlier linked the en:wp article on the Gangte language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangte_language with the pms:wp article https://pms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenga_Gangte, resulting in a merge of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1775221 with https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12952442 without receiving the "Don't try to merge items ..." warning. Does that mean the Edit language links option in all wikipedias should be disabled?

Baba_Tabita added a comment.

[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T161983: Add Rangi language (lag) to Wikidata
Baba_Tabita added a comment. Still trying to figure out how to add translations of metadata in other languages to existing wikidata entries. For example, quite apart from entering Rangi language data, I don't seem to be able to add something as useful as a description field for French like "language d'Australie" to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10474818 (there are only seven languages which already have data entries in the Label and Description fields). Instructions please?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161983EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Ladsgroup, Baba_TabitaCc: gerritbot, jhsoby, GerardM, MF-Warburg, Lydia_Pintscher, Aklapper, Baba_Tabita, Lordiis, GoranSMilovanovic, Adik2382, Th3d3v1ls, Ramalepe, Liugev6, QZanden, Lewizho99, Maathavan, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Baba_Tabita added a comment. When setting my preferences under https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences, 'user profile' tag, I can choose 'more language settings', and Kilaangi appears under 'suggested languages'. However, whereas all the other suggestions are defined (e.g. Deutsch as 'German', hrvatski as 'Croatian' etc), Kilaangi appears as 'undefined'. What do I have to do in order for Kilaangi to be defined as 'Rangi'?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161983EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Ladsgroup, Baba_TabitaCc: Mbch331, gerritbot, jhsoby, GerardM, MF-Warburg, Lydia_Pintscher, Aklapper, Baba_Tabita, Lordiis, GoranSMilovanovic, Adik2382, Th3d3v1ls, Ramalepe, Liugev6, QZanden, Lewizho99, Maathavan, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Baba_Tabita added a comment. Thanks for the explanation (which I partly understood). I'm just a linguist trying to make languages available on the web (of which there must be thousands, both linguists and languages), so it would be nice to make all of this tech stuff a bit more user-friendly for linguists. But in the absence of step-by-step instructions, I'm continuing and trying to figure all of this out.
