Wikivoyage:Dutch Wikivoyage Expedition

 This page is no longer active and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. Do not assume content on this page is still correct or up-to-date.

This page intends to organize efforts to make a Dutch version of Wikivoyage. Until the version is created, all discussions should be in English, so others Wikivoyagers may join the discussion.

Rationale

edit

Dutch (Nederlands) is a Germanic language mainly spoken in 3 countries, the Netherlands, Belgium and Surinam. With about 22 million native speakers it is a major language in the European Union.

Objectives

edit
  • Make a travel guide for Dutch speakers.

Attention should be spent on using general dutch (AN) and not Netherlands-dutch words or Belgian-dutch words.

Name

edit

Why not translate also the name.

  • because that would require a dedicated server
  • to reinforce and join forces in the brand wikivoyage
  • wikireizen?

Goal

edit

See the Language version policy for see what it takes to start our own Wikivoyage.

Gather a minimum team

Next Steps

edit

The interface localization file has to be translated (or modified from the one on Wikipedia), checked for correctness, and then we will vote for a go-between.

LanguageNl.php is for creating this collaboratively. It's started with the Wikipedia language interface file, but it needs to be changed to match Wikivoyage.

For comparison, the English file is at Project:LanguageEn.php. Major things to watch for:

  • Replacing "Wikipedia" with "Wikivoyage"
  • Differences in license policy (GFDL versus CC by-sa)

Hier is de versie: nl:Project:LanguageNl.php Nog aan te passen (dit wegdoen als de file compleet is)...

  • Hopefully correctly done this now. Let's get this thing started..! (WT-en) Guaka 15:53, 15 Dec 2005 (EST)

Go-between

edit

We need one more step -- a go-between. Some language versions have just had someone come forward to do it; others have voted. It's up to the group here.

  • (WT-en) Guaka - If noone else wants to take this responsibility and noone has objections I am happy to be "go-between". 18:18, 15 Dec 2005 (EST)
