Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Nigerian female actors and Musicians edit-a-thon/Report

Comments from I JethroBT (WMF) edit

Hello Oby Ezeilo, and thanks for your report on this edit-a-thon program focused on Nigerian female actors and musicians. I am accepting the report with the following comments:

  • Congratulations on creating and improving so many biographies of Nigerian women in Igbo Wikipedia!
  • Can you describe a bit more about what was difficult about translation from English to Igbo?
  • Are there any specific resources or publications (like dictionaries?) you are using to support translation work between Igbo and English?

Hello I JethroBT (WMF), So sorry for the late response.

  • Some of the editors were writing in their dialects, I had to start teaching them to write standard Igbo which is the acceptable format for written and spoken Igbo.
  • We use Igbo Language grammar textbooks, journals, instead of the dictionary to do so.--Oby Ezeilo (talk) 17:46, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
