Will you be there?
The plan we discussed with Wikimedia Span, Italy and Portugal is to have a
big dictionary of all neolatin languages on Wikidata.
Kind regards

Hello all,
The fourth edition of the Celtic Knot Conference, focusing on minority
languages on the Wikimedia projects, will take place on July 9th and
10th, 2020 in Limerick, Ireland.
The Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference aims to bring people
together to share their experiences of working on sharing information in
minority languages. We hope to help people learn how to encourage the flow
of information across language barriers and support associated communities.
As in previous years we will have a strong focus on *Wikidata and its
potential to support languages*.
Wikimedia UK has been the organiser with local partners for the 2017
Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference in Edinburgh (focusing on
Scottish Gaelic), in 2018 in Aberystwyth (focusing on Welsh) and in 2019 in
Falmouth (focusing on Cornish). In 2020, the conference will focus on Irish
and developing its Wikimedia community - whilst making sure that we can
share and support other languages in the Celtic Knot and beyond.
The programme will include presentations and workshops linked to the
conference themes of:
-
How Wikidata and language technology can support minority languages
-
Wikimedia projects in education with language applications
-
Experiences with empowering wiki communities to create content in
their language
-
How cultural institutions and wiki communities work together to
provide more accessible knowledge in minority languages
We especially expect a lot of representatives from Irish cultural
institutions as well as contributors of Wikimedia projects in various
languages.
Are you interested in participating? Save the date in your calendar! The
call for submissions to the program will start on February 27th until March
30th. A scholarship program will be set up and more information will be
shared in March.

on the talk page.
Feel free to share this email to any people or groups you think would be
interested!
Cheers,
