Hello everyone, I writing this email to give you all some general updates about the ongoing SVG Translation Campaign <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in_India>, and also invite you to participate in the campaign if you haven't already done so, as we entering into the final week of the campaign.
For some of you, who are not aware, SVG Translation Campaign has been started on 21 February 2019 (marking the International Mother Language Day) and will continue until 31 March 2019. The objective of the campaign is to translate English-labelled SVG diagrams in English to various Indian languages. The main category for creations from the campaign is at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Creations_from_STC19. Till date (at time of writing this email), we've translated 1800 files into 17 different Indian languages. Language-wise break down is as follows: Assamese — 162 Bengali — 142 Doteli — 2 Gujarati — 170 Hindi — 141 Kannada — 173 Maithili — 1 Malayalam — 230 Marathi — 230 Nepali — 37 Oriya — 16 Punjabi — 73 Sanskrit — 3 Santali — 45 Tamil — 61 Telugu — 297 Urdu — 17 As a part of the campaign, several onsite events were conducted in the following places: Khanna, Punjab Eramallikkara, Kerala Jalgaon, Maharashtra Chennai, Tamil Nadu Karnal, Haryana Bengaluru, Karnataka New Delhi (2 events) Kathmandu, Nepal Guntur, Andhra Pradesh There are a few more coming up this week.
