LOCALISATION REQUEST: ISO-639-2/3 about common-voice HOT 12 OPEN

Hi @wieling thanks for your interest in Common Voice! Could you let me know what the ISO-639-2/3 language code is for Gronings and what the population size is (you can edit your post). I suppose the script is Latin (given the translations). Any questions feel free to get in contact with us on Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/#common-voice:mozilla.org

Edit: You read my mind :)

Sorry, I apparently submitted while still editing the post... Now all information should be present. We have a large corpus of Groningen texts, so I should be able to create the necessary sentences for reading. Can you let me know at what stage this is necessary? This is not entirely clear to me.

I'm also not entirely clear about which checkboxes I need to check?

from common-voice.

Probably Band B would suit Gronings best. In terms of the sentences, you can add them either via the bulk upload process or via the interface on the main site, once you have reached 70% translation.

Common Voice has been enabled for Gronings for translation, you can access it here. Please make a couple of suggestions and I will add you as a translator.

Is it necessary to provide a translation of the interface in Gronings? All speakers of Gronings can use Dutch, so if possible, we'd prefer using that language for the interface itself. Is that possible?

from common-voice.

Unfortunately no, the current policy of Common Voice is to have the interface localised in the language which will be used for voice collection.

OK, clear. Can we also get access to the Dutch translations (and how?)? As that will be easier for those doing the translations.

from common-voice.

@wieling Yes, each person can change their preferred language in their Pontoon profile.

See "Default locale -> Preferred source locale".

Thanks! One remaining question: is it also possible to batch update all translations (and download them in the source language)?

from common-voice.

As far as I am aware no, but you could download the .ftl files for Dutch, process them and then manually type them in. If the issue is that speakers/writers are not comfortable with web interfaces, but there are non-speakers who are, then that could be a solution.

@wieling were you able to make a translation suggestion?
