Hi Rexford,
I'm sorry for the late reply, I've been away and for some reason this mail
didn't go out from my usual account.
I'd be very grateful for any contacts interested in working on the project, and
we are also looking for community organizers for specific languages. Also, we
are looking into various Ghanan languages, if you know of anyone who may be
willing to translate the Ebola article for example. As for regional banner, do
you mean on specific Wikipedias? And who do I in this case turn to?
Best,
Carl Fredrik Sjöland

Hi Carl,
Thanks for getting in touch and I'm glad the medical translation is in progress.
The need to get those medical articles into Afrikaans and Xhosa is very
important.
I can help in trying to reach out to as many persons as possible who speak
these languages.
I, for myself, I am a Ghanaian by birth and can't speak nor understand nor
write any of the South African languages except for English.
However, I think I can be of assistance by putting up a call for persons to who
can speak that language to help in the translation.
One area I would suggest you exhaust is also putting a regional banner on
Wikipedia inviting persons who speak that language to volunteer.
I'll start right away in trying to reach out to many people as possible, and I
hope I get persons who will be interested and be of assistance.
Thanks

Hi,
We spoke briefly at Wikimania, and I was delighted to hear that you may be able
to put us in touch with Xhosa and Lhasa speaking people. We spoke about
possibly reaching out to a number of medical students, and Victor was even able
to tell me that one of the girls who participated in the video was studying
medicine now.
If we could work on spreading the translations of Ebola as fast as possible it
could bring about an increase in the awareness of the project. Currently we are
translating into a large number of languages, but have found no translators
from any South African language.
To see the full extent of our current translation work on Ebola please go to:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RTTS
and look for group 7 or 8, where most of the African languages we are working
on are grouped. If you are able to put us in contact with anyone willing to
help in a language not on this list currently, we are very open to expanding it
- even if this Wikipedia doesn’t exist yet, we also have content on the
incubator.
Best,
Carl Fredrik Sjöland
