Create wordmarks for all Wikipedia languages
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Problem

The wikipedia wordmarks used in reading products are not translated. we use Wikipedia english wordmark as a fallback. we should cater to everyone.

Solution

Create a repository of SVG files for the wordmark in all Wikipedia languages
This is the action outcome from the spike ticket T141458 and T171181

How to

We have an excel sheet with unique wordmarks and the instances of use.
There are 129 Unique Wordmarks They correspond to 300 projects

English wordmark is the highest frequency one which covers 87 projects

5-10 other wordmarks are used on approx 20-30 projects. Rest are unique wordmarks.

Process

Use the spreadsheet in finding which wordmarks are missing
See second sheet called "Worksheet"
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JXMMtlSrqbNb6YPKreaQ8zgRqKhaUruJwP5iXYSWG80/edit?usp=sharing

Use https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/2.0#SVG to get the actual wordmark

If the wordmark is not available on commons, contact Chris to get it sorted

  • Use the wordmark template to generate the SVG
  • Put the SVG on Lingo/Dropbox
  • All Svgs will be uploaded to commons later

Phase 1 complete. commons wordmarks deployed on mobilefrontend!

Macro wikilove: wordmarks  for more people

Note that we have a ticket and volunteer patch to update Arabic on iOS: T165085

Not sure if the "master" wordmark also needs update, but wanted to link, just in case.

@JMinor ahh the splashscreen was a different issue :( it was made pre-wordmark work. we can fix that in an ad-hoc way and I actually know why that issue is there. it's the SVG export issue from sketch. I will coordinate with @cmadeo to resolve that separately. thanks for the ping here!

@RHo
Also please add Czech localizated logo, it is WIKIPEDIE. Is it possible? File is avabile here in svg version. Thanks

This problem doesnt still solve. This case is there some years. When will it solve?

@RHo: Hmm, all items in the table in the task description have a checkbox. As this task is assigned to you, are you still working (or still plan to work) on this task? If you do not plan to work on this task anymore, please remove yourself as assignee (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) so in theory, others could work on it. Thanks!

hi @Aklapper - the table in the phab description only contains a small subset of wordmarks based on IIRC specific requests from community members from those Wikis, the status for the entire set is shown in the linked spreadsheet and I'll unassign myself now in case others have time to tackle the rest. Thanks for the nudge!

@alexhollender_WMF the Nepalese community has provided a tagline as part of T318737 which looks slightly different. Should we use that one instead?

as far as I can tell the one in the folder looks the same as the one they linked to in that task. can you clarify the difference you are seeing?
