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- Outdated screenshots or instructions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