We use standards and standards need support ● Wikimedia Foundation  Gerard Meijssen Internationalization / Localization outreach consultant
What our communities do ● There is a Wikipedia in 283 languages  A request has been made for 129 more ● For many languages there is a source, a books, a dictionary project as well ● We have over 12 million freely usable images ● There are several meta wikis and they need translations to get our message out
412 languages ● Are written in many scripts. Not all of them are provided with a font in an operating system  We support WebFonts ● Not all of them have a quality freely licensed font  We collaborate on font development ● For many languages we need input methods; local keyboard are often not on sale  We support Narayam
412 languages II ● At translatewiki.net several freely licensed applications are internationalised and localised ● 4600 people receive its monthly update
412 languages III ● We make use of the ISO-639-3, Unicode and the CLDR ● We use translation memories and machine translation on twn and on our meta wikis. ● All our localisers and translators are volunteers ● Getting the message out is a big job  Why localisation  The use of translatable terminology  Refitting internationalisation is expensive
What about standards ● The CLDR should provide us with the necessary intelligence  WMF supports more languages than the CLDR  There are over 6000 languages we do not support  The information is not accurate even for English  Our developers have a hard time entering data !!  It uses time boxes for data entry
What does this mean ● Languages not supported in the CLDR are not supported in text processors or browsers ● The meta data in documents written in one of the 6000+ languages is wrong We are looking for a solution..
