Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination
Dari Wikipedia bahasa Melayu
'We use Wikipedia-L to coordinate Wikipedia across different languages. Please take a look at the Wikipedia Embassy and join if you're interested in the coordination project.
The Wikipedia community is committed to including any and all languages for which there are Wikipedians willing to do the work. We are aware that many of the world's 6,500 languages are not well-represented on computers or the web, and we are committed to working with language speakers and computing organizations to support as many languages as possible.
Each language Wikipedia currently has a separate set of user accounts. Links between articles in different languages are called interlanguage links.
The URL of the wikipedia for a given language is xx.wikipedia.org, where xx is the 2-letter language code as per ISO 639. For languages without an ISO 639 2-letter language code, the 3-letter language code is used, or if that also does not exist, a custom 3-letter language code is made. (On the mailing list and in discussion, people often write xx: to mean the xx-language wikipedia, as in I'm a regular on fr:.)

[Sunting] Memulakan Wikipedia Baru
See meta:How to start a new Wikipedia for a tutorial on how to get a Wikipedia in your language running.
A certain amount of "critical mass" is necessary in order for a wiki to "take off". Without 5-10 people eagerly writing and arguing and playing with each other, it wouldn't be as much fun. So we encourage anyone who wants to build a wiki in their own language to also go out and announce/recruit for it. :-)
[Sunting] Statistik
See Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics for a more complete overview.
As of November 1, 2003, the number of non-English language articles increased to over 50% of the total number, probably for the first time. This is an encouraging sign in favour of linguistic diversity.
As of February 18, 2004, the English language wikipedia had 209,637 articles, while the next 19 had 261,352 on this date, i.e. the number of non-English language articles was more than 55% of the total. The 2nd to 9th languages (de, ja, fr, pl, sv, nl, es, da) together had 210,448 articles, together matching the number of articles in the English language version.
As of May 6, 2004, the English language wikipedia had 261,003 articles, and the 2nd to 8th languages (de 86,269, ja 46,443, fr 35,481, pl 29,209, sv 28,260, nl 27,008, es 22,593) together had 275,263 articles, together matching the number of articles in the English language version. The Chinese (hanyu - zh) wikipedia more than doubled from February 18 to May 6 - from 4,395 to 9,457 entries.
As of 1 September 2004, the English language wikipedia had 337,808 articles, and the 2nd to 7th languages (de 134,190, ja 68,746, fr 50,489, sv 38,637, pl 37,061, nl 34,662) together had 363,785 articles, together matching the number of articles in the English language version.
As of 4 October 2004, the English language wikipedia had 362,104 articles, and the 2nd to 6th languages (de 148,462, ja 75,969, fr 55,608, sv 42,172, pl 40,178) together had 362,389 articles, together matching the number of articles in the English language version.
Since the (en) share of articles on 1 October was 34.749% and decreased by 0.93% from one month previously, and since over the 12 months previous to this it has been losing an average of slightly over 1% per month, we can expect that it will probably fall below the 1/3 mark (33.333%) by the end of November, and very likely by the end of 2004. Of course, this share decrease will eventually have to slow down as various saturation effects occur, but maybe not for quite some time: the dozen (roughly) languages in the 5000-10000 range have monthly increases mostly at 10% or above, while (en) remains at 7%. A purely linear extrapolation using 0.93%/month implies that (en) should hit zero percent share by the end of 2007. So reasonable guesses at where (en) will eventually asymptote by the end of 2007 could be anywhere in the range 20%, 10%, 5% or 1% - any predictions? And will an asymptote really be approached by end 2007?

[Sunting] Beberapa soalan yang mungkin ditanya
What can I do to help?
- Please consult Wikipedia Embassy
- Consider joining Wikipedia-L, the international mailing list
- Just jump through interlanguage links
- Add yourself to the global and local lists of translators.
- See m:Multilingualism for Wikimedia-wide coordination
I have just noticed the fact that the top and bottom bars are in English. Can something be done about that?
- Those lines come from a configuration file that the public can't access (I believe). Please see the embassy and the technical mailing list for the ongoing effort to translate Wikipedia into different languages.
Here are some "international Wikipedia" policy questions. To a certain extent, these questions will resolve themselves, though.
- How are the various Wikipedias going to be coordinated, if at all? Will we have several quite different articles in different languages? Will English be a lingua franca?
- In the embassy we are coordinating efforts between languages.
- Is there going to be an easy way to link from one language to another?
- Yes, Interlanguage links are now available for all wikis.
- Please explain the steps to join Wikipedia with a language not in the current development list - e.g. allocation of a wiki space and hosting vs. having own domain for the national wikipedia; initial setup of the pages to be translated; promotion strategies to be adhered to, etc.? Who is in charge for this?
- See how to create a new language in Wikipedia for an explanation.
