Project summary edit

Briefly summarize your project proposal.

  • This project will implement potential impact in Hausa Wikipedia and Hausa Wikimedians User Group and will help existing and new editors to add more contents to Wikipedia by Transilating English articles into Hausa Language. I will love WUGN to support and give chance to this project rendered in Kaduna, because most of editors don't translate articles but edit or improve existing articles. Translation is very important in Wikipedia and one of the most activity that generates more people and relates different Languages to have good understanding and incorporate mutual relationship between different people in the world. It also help the visitors to easily make transparent research for Ethnical, Tribal and Social Knowledge. God help Us. Amen.
