The contest involves the translation of at least 16 articles into at least 16 local and international languages. The articles to be translated will be the biographies of African women of at least B quality (preferably higher quality). The idea is to translate each article into at least 16 languages. The list of language can be, but are not limited to:

  • International languages: Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, German
  • African languages: Akan, Afrikaans (af), Igbo, Hausa, Wolof, Tswana, Zulu, Xhosa, Shona, Swahili (sw), Yoruba (yo), Sudanese, Amharic (am), Tsonga, Ewe, Sesotho, Chichewa,

List of propositions

(goal : 16 articles of at least B quality level, preferably higher)

Petscan queries

La plupart des articles du w:fr:Projet:Afrique/Biographies de femmes existent déjà en FR+EN suite à des traductions, plus rarement FR+DE (w:fr:Iolanda Cintura, w:fr:Leda Hugo pour les plus récentes) ou FR+ES (w:fr:Eulalia Pérez Sedeño) ou FR+IT (w:fr:N'Goné Fall, w:fr:Danièle Diwouta-Kotto). Quelques créations en FR n'ont pas encore été traduites en EN (w:fr:Sophie Dabo, w:fr:Joséphine Guidy Wandja, w:fr:Maïmouna Ndoye Seck) mais la plupart de ces articles ne sont pas très étoffés...--Cbyd (talk) 17:11, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sister Challenge in the CEE Region

[edit]

Hello, I'd like to "advertise" a sister challenge that is taking place from 20 April to 30 May: 100wikidays/CEE women. Don't panic, no need to make 100 wikidays for CEE women only, also no need to actually write 100 articles, I ask for at least 10 articles in the next 40 days. And there will be a supercool prize... go and check the page... ;) Spiritia 06:35, 21 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
