Enabling Belizean Creole code ([[Portal:Bzj|bzj]])

Enabling Belizean Creole code (bzj)

Can somebody please enable Belizean Creole (bzj) so that I can start translating the interface for Wikipedia?

See Portal:bzj. For now there's not any project started in Wikimedia Incubator for this language. This should be made first in wikipedia:incubator:Wp/bzj (and find other contributors to work on it) before thinking about a full Wikipedia edition. Note: I just added the link to Incubator, as I found it. Now it's in the Portal.

It may be useful to add a Wiktionary incubator for the vocabulary in wikipedia:incubator:Wt/bzj.

Actually there is a project https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/bzj.

My intention is to create a Wikipedia, not a Wiktionary. Could you please help me enabling the code?

I already noted it in the former response (the initial link was not working for Wikipedia). Still a Wiktionary incubator may be useful to develop a common terminology that will help translators, at least starting by some wordlists before actually creating entry pages for each word (this requires work to build various templates). You may hwoever considering testing this language oinly in the same Wikipedia incubator in a dedicated section, as there's no need to have *multiple* test wikis for enabling the language here.

Note: I can just help reference the language. I cannot enable it my self on this wiki. So this support is still the only solution to have some admins check it with you. The existing Wikipedia Incubator is fine. Translating the Mediawiki UI is secondary, and comes after testing the wiki content itself and its capacity to grow: Wikimedia will want a sufficent developement of this incubator wiki before enabling a full wiki, but Translatewiki can also be built before that (and will be also useful for other non-Wikimedia wikis or other projects you'd like to be able to translate too on this site, such as Encyclopedia of Life for natural species, or OpenStreetMap for cartography, Mifos for microfinance, or Freecol for gaming).

I don't understand what you mean by "at least starting by some wordlists before actually creating entry pages for each word"?

My intention is to keep creating articles on Wikimedia Incubator while translating the Mediawiki as the scope is to have a Wikipedia in Belizean Creole. However, I don't want to start working until we have the code enable here as thus will mean that we will be able to get a Wikipedia sooner or later. For now, we don't have that possibility and that is why I am asking here for te code to be enabled. I don't know who does that so if you know, could you please tell me or direct him/her to this conversation.

The Incubator has already a lot of articles in Bileez Kriol and that is not a problem but we would like to have the code enabled so that our work won't be useless.

Please Verdy p help me out with this.

Note that for faster response, you should have followed the "Support" link that was displayed in the "Disabled language" banner: the support page is actively followed, while this talk page for the "Disabled language" banner template is not really made for such requests (only to talk about the template itself and how it works or what it displays).

I had added since long now the link to the Support page at end of the message displayed by that banner.

(Ideally, a site admin could move this thread into Support for archiving, and for easier searches by other contributors that also follow the Support page, because this talk is not at all about the banner template itself).

Hi!

Sorry about the long delay, I only noticed it now.

I've enabled it. You can start translating here: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?filter=%21translated&action=translate&language=bzj&group=core-0-mostused
