Wiktionary talk:Project - Multilingual translations

Page for Group Members
For any project, it is important to have persons working on it; moreover serious and consistent contributors are desired. We welcome interested people to propose their names languagewise. Group membership would be proposed for the languages in which one has expertise to a level of giving correct translations in concerned languages, and in case of difficulty in this at times, doing this by referring the most standard dictionaries. A page of PMT Group members would be maintained at PMT Group Members. There only the names can be proposed also.

Tasks To Be Done

 * 1) To add this project entries in list at WT:CP
 * 2) To start with most common and frequently used English words.
 * 3) All important and major languages to be identified and covered in the project, the list of which to be maintained at PMT Language List.
 * 4) Serious and consistent contributors to be identified and contacted for languages listed at language list page.

Start with most common words
My suggestion would be to make sure translations are complete (for you set # of languages) for the most common English words (see Frequency lists). --Bequw → ¢ • τ 20:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Suggestion is valuable. Taken into account and would be implemented with priority as and when the project policies are finalized and project sets out. Thanks Bequw. - Shreehari 03:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Start with adj., n., and v.
I recommend starting with translations of adjectives, nouns, and verbs, as these are easier to define and translate. Prepsitions and conjunctions, though common, are notoriously difficult to define or translate. --EncycloPetey 09:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Category vs. List
I think a lists would be better than categories for keeping track of both words nominated for this project and those already translated. With an in-page listing we can use a table to keep track of the status of translations. I'll post something on the main page. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 05:54, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I pretty much think anything tagged as inactive for 10 years can go down the toilet Yellow is the colour (talk) 23:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I really hope translations WikiProject gets revived. The translation content in English Wiktionary is very less than what it should be having. Translations are always missing. Now with Wikidata:Wikidata:Lexemes, translations projects should be made active. Vis M (talk) 14:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
