New Languages for the International Year of Indigenous Languages

OmegaWiki for 2019 has a project around the International Year of Indigenous Languages. Right now we are working on the basics to then go on with community work. Yesterday another 38 languages were added. You can find the editable languages on OmegaWiki itself by following THIS LINK.
You would like to add your language and add contents to connect your language to the world? Please feel free to contact us. You can also write me an e-mail.

Huh ... already two years gone???

You will find this funny, but its already two years I didn't work all too much on this project. Family ... and so many other things daily cross my way that need to be done. At this stage a HUUUUGE thanks to all our contributors. But you know: I always keep the projects where I was active in the past in mind, because one should always use first what is already there and improve that instead of creating the 1000th new project that does the same like whatever ... let's see ... who knows what future will bring :-)
Well ... an our other blog members are VERY quiet as well ... hmmmmmmmmm .........

Using OmegaWiki for professional translation services

I just received a short job from Italian to German, subject tourism. This is the moment to test how easy it can be to work with OW data and to update it. I will definitely let you know afterwards. For now I downloaded the General Dictionary and the OFWB (Online Technical Dictionary) data in TSV-format and import it in my CAT-Tool, which in this case is going to be one of my favourites: DéjàVu X2 (there it is a bit more complicated to get the glossary in than with OmegaT). ... Well, let's see ... I'll tell you about my experience.

Open Source Dictionaries for Smartphones, Mobile Phones and Computers

DictionaryForMIDs and OmegaWiki are now partnering to provide software and dictionaries for smartphones, mobile phones, tablets and PCs.  Download the software for your device and add one or more dictionaries to them. In the first release you find monolingual, bilingual and multilingual dictionaries. If your language or combination of language/s is missing, don't hesitate to contact us (s.cretella [at] localcontent.eu).

Besides OmegaWiki dictionaries there are also plenty of other dictionaries from other sources online. Over time we hope to also find a good co-operation with them.

Over the time more language combinations and additional educational projects will be added.

And ... we are back online

So here we go again. OmegaWiki is back and working. Have fun editing :-)

Server is down ...

... just a very short note: the OmegaWiki server is down. Probably a harware failure. We are working to get it back online as soon as possible.

Starting with a weekly "English word of the day"

OmegaWiki has many specific topics, though most people are interested in general terminology. Many people learn English or are just generally interested to know how things are done. The first series of "Words of the Day" were chosen from the general terminology. We wish to achieve similar efforts also for other languages. If you wish to have your language have a similar service, don't hesitate to contact us.

The English Word of the Day can be followed on various social networks:
