Welcome
Lingua Libre is a project which aims to build a collaborative multilingual audiovisual corpus under free licence in order to expand knowledge about languages and help online language communities to develop.
You can help us!
You can visit this page if you want to learn more about the project.
You can create your User page by clicking on it. We recommend that you integrate the babel template onto it. It is very useful to indicate to others the languages you speak, and to facilitate finding other persons speaking your languages. If you are not familiar with wikicode, you can go to this demo User page, read the instructions and copy the prepared babel template, and then paste it onto your user page before adapting it to your information. You can then publish your User page!
- Follow the steps of the Record Wizard
- Think of the words you want to record. You may enter them one by one (live list), use an existing category from a Wiktionary or Wikipedia project, or create your own list.
You can visit this help page where you will find advice for beginning your contributions on Lingua Libre. If you did not find the answer to your question, please ask it in the Chat room.
- Try to avoid background noises during the recording
- Please listen to the pronunciations before uploading them
- Consider using an external microphone
Capital letters
Hi @John.d.new77 welcome and thank you for your contributions to Lingua Libre!
I just wanted to recommend you to use capital letters on your recordings only if there is one in the word (in a dictionary for example). For example, you recorded the word "New" (New (Q613969)) instead of "new". This means that the file on Commons is named with a capital letter on "new", which will prevent it to be automatically added to projects by bots. Please keep it in mind for your next recordings! 😉
All the best and welcome again! — WikiLucas (🖋️) 14:09, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
