Complete the Translation of the "CampaignEvents Extension" for all african languages
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Goal:
This project aims to fully translate the CampaignEvents Extension—a tool for organizing Wikimedia campaigns—into all major African languages, making it more accessible to contributors across the continent.

Impact:
By localizing this extension, we empower African communities to efficiently participate in Wikimedia campaigns, events, and outreach programs in their native languages. This fosters greater inclusivity, engagement, and content growth in underrepresented regions.

Why It’s Exciting for Contributors?:

  • Expand Reach: Help bridge the language gap in Wikimedia tools, enabling more users to engage with campaigns.
  • Skill Development: Gain experience in technical translation and localization for MediaWiki extensions.
  • Community Growth: Strengthen African Wikimedia projects by making essential tools available in local languages.

How to Contribute:
Translations will be managed via translatewiki where volunteers can assist in completing and reviewing translations.

Desired Success Metric:
100% translation coverage for all supported African languages, ensuring the CampaignEvents Extension is fully usable across the continent.

Please sir, I need for swahili

During this hackathon, we contributed to translating into Swahili. It was an enjoyable activity, despite several interruptions due to our unfamiliarity with the site, which negatively affected our work.

Hi,

  • If this task was being worked on and resolved at WMA-Hackathon-2025: Please change the task status to resolved via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown, and make sure that this task has a link to the public codebase.
  • If this task is still valid and should stay open: Please add another active project tag to this task, so others can find this task (as likely nobody in the future will look back at the Hackathon workboard when trying to find something they are interested in).
  • In case there is nothing else to do for this task, or nobody plans to work on this task anymore: Please set the task status to declined.
