Lucie, Lydia and Wikidatans, You really are "making true on one of Wikidata's biggest promises" and re https://twitter.com/nightrose/status/730487692794970113 too. This is so great, and especially concerning far-reaching translation, including possibly a Universal Translator it would seem, eventually.
Are there placeholders already for all 7,943+ languages in Glottolog - http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language - for example, or in a parallel ISO 639 list - https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php? Are there any Wikidata plans for "simply" populating such a list with Wikidata/Wikibase "ecosystem entities" using machine processes? Where would we find please a possible beginning all-languages' "placeholder" list? In what ways could CC World University and School (which we donated to Wikidata last autumn) upon adding CC MIT OCW in 7 languages into CC Wikidata/Wikibase best translate a MIT OCW course page (e.g. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ which is already in Spanish and Portuguese) eventually into Odia or Haitian Creole, for example? Might a system of placeholders emerge for such? Thank you, and cheers, Scott On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 9:29 AM, Richard Symonds < richard.symo...@wikimedia.org.uk> wrote: > Fantastic work! > > Richard Symonds > Wikimedia UK > 0207 065 0992 > > Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and > Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
