Word of the Day template[hariri]

Hello Sgconlaw, I was wondering if you could help me build a similar template like {{WOTD}} at the sw.wiktionary or otherwise help me style up the main page. Thank you (please ping me on reply) --Synoman Barris (talk) 08:01, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Synoman Barris: sure. What would you like to call the template? Then we can copy a version of {{WOTD}} over to sw.wiktionary and start working on it. — SGconlaw (talk) 09:12, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, I would like to call it Template:NLS maybe from the Swahili translation “Neno la Siku”. Other templates that are necessary in maintaining a dictionary may also be useful over there. Cheers --Synoman Barris (talk) 10:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris: well, apart from transferring {{WOTD}} over to sw.wiktionary, there will be quite a few pages and templates that will need to be created or edited to get a Word of the Day project working, so let's start slow and see how it goes. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:59, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Okay, so when do we start? --Synoman Barris (talk) 11:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris: why don't you start by creating Swahili versions of "Wiktionary:Word of the day" and "Wiktionary:Word of the day/Nominations", and I will look into the templates. — SGconlaw (talk) 12:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
On it! Cheers --Synoman Barris (talk) 14:06, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Synoman Barris, I've transferred over a version of the WOTD template here. Can you please provide Kiswahili translations for the following parameter names and Wiktionary pages? (Or if you want them to remain in English, let me know.)

  • About Word of the Day — Kuhusu neno la siku
  • audio — sauti
  • comment — Maoni
  • Leave feedback — Acha maoni This is not since feedback may be left at the talk page
  • no — Hapana
  • Nominate a word — Teaua neno see page Wiktionary:Neno la siku / Uteuzi
  • previous or next day — Siku iliyotangulia au inayofuata
  • Wiktionary:Feedback — Wiktionary:Acha Maoni
  • Template:term-label — leave in english
  • Wiktionary:Word of the Day — Wiktionary:Neno la siku

SGconlaw, Hello yeah I’ve translated them above, I am not sure the audio part will be possible since we still dont have audio versions of the word.--Synoman Barris (majadiliano) 08:36, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Thanks. I see that there are some recordings at "commons:Category:Swahili pronunciation", so I might as well just provide for the option in the template for use later on. If at the moment there isn't a recording for a word, then the template won't display anything. — SGconlaw (majadiliano) 08:40, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Would you like to create a category for NLS-related templates (i.e., the equivalent of "en:Category:WOTD templates"? — SGconlaw (majadiliano) 08:45, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Sgconlaw Done see jamii:NLS.--Synoman Barris (majadiliano) 08:49, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Synoman Barris: thanks. I need a few more translations:
  • Archive — Jalada
  • Navigation — correct translation is “ Urambazaji” but this will mean different in Swahili, so use Angalia which means see
  • tomorrow — Kesho
  • yesterday — Jana
I have created a draft Main Page with the NLS template at "Mwanzo/sandbox", but it won't be ready for testing until Kigezo:NLS is ready. — SGconlaw (majadiliano) 14:23, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Sgconlaw Thanks, all done. I know the main page will now be more cooler than the current one. I hope you are also learning some Swahili, it’s an interesting language I learnt years ago --Synoman Barris (majadiliano) 14:34, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]

Synoman Barris: thanks. A few more translations needed:

  • edit — hariri
  • for (as in "Word of the Day for October 4") – ya
  • refresh — Onyesha upya
  • view — Angalia

SGconlaw All done --Synoman Barris (majadiliano) 15:13, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
Just a minor note to say that I realized the "yesterday" and "tomorrow" links are not yet working properly except on pages in the format "Wiktionary:Neno la siku/2020/Oktoba 4" (for example, at "Mwanzo/sandbox" they are linking to the wrong pages). I've asked an editor at the English Wiktionary who is more experienced with templates, Erutuon, to see if he can diagnose the problem. — SGconlaw (majadiliano) 18:23, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
OK, Erutuon has fixed the issue. — SGconlaw (majadiliano) 19:30, 4 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]
