Translate ISA Tool Manual to Swahili and Update Images/Features
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The ISA Tool Manual on Wikimedia Commons provides documentation for users and campaign coordinators explaining how to use the ISA micro-contributions platform, including how to join campaigns, create campaigns, track engagement, and understand statistics.

We need to create a Swahili version of this manual that includes:

  • A full translation of the current English manual into Swahili.
  • Updated screenshots reflecting the latest ISA Tool UI (as of 2025).
  • Updated instructions for new and changed features introduced since the last manual (e.g., UI changes, new workflows in the tool).
  • Any missing steps that are essential for clarity for Swahili-speaking users.
  • Consistent formatting and localization practices (headings, links, code blocks, images, example screenshots).

The goal is to make the ISA Tool documentation fully accessible to Swahili-speaking contributors and coordinators.

Domain: Documentation / Translation

Difficulty: Difficult

Steps to Reproduce (Context)

  1. Open the current English manual on Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:ISA_Tool/Manual
  1. Review all sections, including:
    • Instructions for players
    • Instructions for campaign coordinators
    • How to create and modify campaigns
    • How to measure engagement
    • Known problems
    • FAQs
  1. Identify:
    • UI elements that have changed
    • New features or workflows not documented
    • Outdated screenshots or instructions
  1. Translate all content into Swahili, preserving:
    • Meaning
    • Tone
    • Instructional clarity
  1. Visit the live ISA Tool interface to verify current UI: https://isa.toolforge.org
  1. Capture updated screenshots and replace or add them to the Swahili manual where appropriate.

Expected Outcome

  • A complete Swahili manual hosted on Wikimedia Commons
    • Example location: Commons:ISA Tool/Manual/sw
  • The Swahili manual should:
    • Mirror the structure of the English version
    • Provide clear, step-by-step instructions
    • Include updated screenshots
    • Use localized Swahili terms for UI elements
    • Contain updated and relevant links
      • Prefer Swahili Wikipedia or Wikimedia documentation where available
  • The documentation should be clear, accessible, and usable for Swahili-speaking contributors and campai
