Comissão de idiomas

O comitê de idiomas da Fundação Wikimedia é responsável pelo desenvolvimento de regras e documentações claras para novos projetos de idiomas e suas propostas, pelo processamento destas solicitações, e pelo apoio e coordenação de novos projetos para otimização de seu sucesso.

Historicamente, foi fundado como um subcomitê do Comitê de Projetos Especiais. Com o dissolvimento deste, o comitê de idiomas reporta-se diretamente ao Conselho de Curadores da Fundação Wikimedia.

The Language Committee mainly acts in the Requests for new languages process by reviewing the requests, giving advice and eventually recommending the creation of new language versions to the Board. Individual Langcom members also take care of the proposals for closing projects. If you have any questions (for example about the possible requesting of a new language version), please direct these to the talk page or directly to any member.

←previous report This is the language committee report for July and August 2013.

• Some discussion about the most-used messages (the interface translation requirement for the first project in a language).

• Tuvan Wikipedia has been created.
• Vietnamese Wikivoyage has been approved and created.
• Amharic Wikiquote and Uzbek Wikibooks were closed.
• Proposals to close Norwegian Wikinews and Xhosa Wikipedia were rejected.
• The requests for Taiwanese Hokkien Wikipedia and Cyrillic English Wikipedia were rejected.
• Discussion about Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Lurish.

This is a proofread version of the original charter with a later amendment authorizing request approval.

O comitê possui as seguintes funções.

1. The development and maintenance of:
   1. a clear step-by-step policy (based on quantitative indicators) for evaluating the feasibility of new language wikis, with an automated procedure for project development;
   2. support and policy development for script and localization related problems;
   3. documentation to support new language communities towards a stable growth rate;
   4. support and coordination for cross-language projects, helping smaller communities share resources and maximize their results;
   5. support and coordination to maintain compatibility among the different MediaWiki installations, in order to reduce the amount of development needed to upgrade the program base as far as localization is concerned.
2. The processing of requests for new language subdomains of existing Wikimedia projects, providing it gives the Wikimedia Board of Trustees four days advance notice before approving a request.

The goals of the committee are to:

1. minimize the political aspects connected to the release of new projects, moving the focus towards purely quantitative decision criteria;
2. minimize the need of localization-related funding and development by providing a common shared policy;
3. maximize the reuse of proven marketing techniques among different editions;
4. maximize the co-operation level among different language communities by providing common fields of activity;
5. achieve the widest possible localization level for MediaWiki at the lowest cost, in order to maintain and improve its leading role as an open-source content management system.

• The whole set of activities of the language committee is public, and any advice from the community is welcome.
• The committee values the fact that projects are a property of the single editors who make it and considers users' necessities as the primary source for policy.
• The committee is especially interested in hearing those who proposed a new wiki in the past and got either refused or approved.

Observers are Wikimedians who receive copies of e-mails sent to the internal language committee mailing list, but who cannot browse the archives or reply to the e-mails directly. If you want to become an observer, you should ask one of the committee members. If there are no objections within the committee after seven days, you will be subscribed as an observer.

Observers should generally not participate in discussions. When it is necessary however, please reply to the langcom list instead of the langcom-observers list. A list administrator would need to accept the e-mail manually (you could ask one of them to do so).
