Please add Bosnian as a language

Common Voice

Hey Selim,

Thanks for your question :smiley: and welcome to the community!

I have enabled Common Voice on the Bosnian Team on Pontoon.
As you might be aware pontoon is a platform for localisation.

For Bosnian to be available for voice data collection on your website you have to follow the following steps.

  1. Localise the platform to by 75% percent and have 5,000 words under CC0 added on to Bosnian text corpus
  2. Mobilse Bosnian speakers to contribute to voice data collection

I would like to encourage to consider doing this by creating a community of Bosnian speakers to help with the efforts.

How could you do this ?

  1. (Invitation Stage) Invite friends, local community organisation and colleagues to organise around the Common Voice project by explaining the project - (EN translation)
  2. (Organising stage) Assign yourself around key priorities and skills sets.
  3. (Resourcing Stage) Partner with GLAM/ cultural heritage/ lingustic departments to organise around this project. For example could they sponsor a campaign for Bosnian ? Request funding from Mozilla Reps Programme.

For more support on onboarding please check out this slide deck or Community Support Desk.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Hillary, Common Voice community Manager
