Hacio’r Laith: Promoting Welsh Language With Technology & Social Media

Rezwan — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:17:43 +0000

The 3rd “Hacio’r Iaith” (Hacking the Language) was hosted by the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies of Aberystwyth University in Wales on Saturday the 28th of January 2012. Hacio’r Laith is an open conference, and is a meeting place for those who are passionate about technology, new media, and the Welsh language. A large number of participants joined to learn and discuss the latest developments in their fields.

The event was in unconference format where idea sharing, demonstrations and practical sessions were all conducted in Welsh language. The schedules were user-generated, which means that anyone could take part and talk about a subject of their interest.

The subjects discussed included local journalism in the digital age, art and culture online, campaigning, e-books, and developing free software for the Welsh language.

Rhys liveblogged the event (in Welsh language). Here is a summary:

Somalia Speaks: Amplifying Unheard Somalian Voices

Rezwan — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:23:52 +0000

Somalia is one of those developing countries which end up in world media for all the wrong reasons: civil war, famine, drought, Somalian pirates are to name a few. With the help of an Ushahidi based platform “Somalia Speaks“, Al Jazeera English is aggregating unheard voices from inside Somalia via SMS. The responses are translated into English and finally plotted onto a map. People can also send in a report via SMS to an international number and submit comments online including video links, photo uploads, and text descriptions.

Somalia Speaks is a collaboration between Souktel, an NGO providing SMS messaging services, Ushahidi, Al Jazeera, Crowdflower, and the African Diaspora Institute.

Patrick Meier of Ushahidi explains in a post at Ushahidi blog:

The purpose of this project is to catalyze global media attention on Somalia by letting Somali voices take center stage—voices that are otherwise not heard in the international, mainstream media. If journalists are not going to speak about Somalia, then this project invites Somalis speak to the world themselves. The project highlights these voices on a live, public map for the world to bear witness and engage in a global conversation with people of Somalia, a conversation in which Somalis and the Diaspora are themselves at the centerfold. It is my sincere hope that advocacy and lobby group will be able to leverage the content generated by this project to redouble their efforts in response to the escalating crisis in Somalia.

Souktel sent out the question “How has the Somalia Conflict affected your life?” in Somali language to about 5,000 of their subscribers in geographically disbursed areas. Somalia Speaks received over 3000 replies in text messages, which were translated, categorized and geo-located using this crowdflower plugin. Co.exist reports quoting Riyaad Minty, Al Jazeera’s head of social media, how the crowdsourcing works. There were amazing responses from the online Somali-speaking community, who volunteeed to translate the sms reports. The mapped reports are also linked to a public discussion forum where readers can respond and share their views.

Melissa Ulbricht reports at PBS's Mediashift:

Souktel's Korenblum said that in a five-year period leading up to 2009, mobile phone penetration jumped 1,600% in the Somali region; Souktel has been delivering service in the Horn of Africa since 2008 and has a member SMS subscriber list of over 50,000 people. [..] Reaching out to citizens via SMS, then, makes sense.

Al Jazeera's Soud Hyder said the news network is looking at how to streamline news gathering workflows to get news directly from the people: “It's like taking citizen journalism to the next level.”

A reader, Awaale, commented at Ushahidi blog that people in Somalia understand that SMS is between just two people. So they may respond to the Souktel SMS without knowing that their name will be displayed in Internet exposing themselves to the warlords. He was replied with an assurance that the Al-jazeera team had deleted all personal identifiers from the public site.

Mobile Media Toolkit has a complete case study on this project.

Language Tools: Virtual Keyboards & Transliteration

Rezwan — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:47:10 +0000

Imagine you write in a non-Latin based script and you are stuck in a foreign airport internet kiosk trying to figure out how to email in your language. Probably the PC you are using has a different set of keyboard other than qwerty and their is no multilingual support in the OS. There are some online tools which can come to your rescue.

Virtual Keyboard:

A virtual keyboard is a software component that allows a user to enter characters. A virtual keyboard can usually be operated with multiple input devices, which may include a touchscreen, an actual keyboard and a computer mouse. (Wikipedia)

Virtual keyboards are commonly used as an on-screen input method in devices with no physical keyboard, such as a pocket computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer or touchscreen equipped mobile phone. There are many forms of web-based virtual keyboards. One such great online tool is Gate2Home Virtual Keyboard.

“This site enables you to write in your language wherever you are in the world, with an online onscreen keyboard emulator.

The main purpose of this site is to let everyone who gets stuck without the ability to write/type/search the internet in their own language be able to do just that (usually travelers/tourists or anyone in front of a foreign computer).”

The main feature is that you can choose from a list of keyboard layouts your base keyboard of the pc and select the keyboard of your own language (which maps perfectly) and can use the pc keyboard as well as mouse to enter the words.

The site and the gadget got “honorable mention” in Google Desktop Gadgets Contest and was a main gadget in iGoogle for a long time.

Another such virtual keyboard is Branah.com which supports 53 languages.

Transliteration

Transliteration is a form of translation, and is the practice of converting a text from one script into another. (Wikipedia)

Systematic transliteration is a mapping from one system of writing into another, word by word, or ideally letter by letter. Google Transliteration is one such widely used tool. New Melchizedec Sundararaj, Software Engineer at Google wrote in April 2010:

For many Internet users, it is not always easy to write in languages that use unique character sets like Hindi, Hebrew and Arabic. Most computer keyboards only allow for the input of Roman characters (the alphabet used by most Western languages) and converting between scripts can be difficult. To make this process easier we launched an improved version of Google Transliteration at the end of last year, a service which enables you to phonetically convert Roman letters into a variety of other scripts.

There are multiple phonetic transliteration tools available online. For example in Bengali language there are options like Prabasi and Microsoft Indic language input tool etc.

It is important to enable users to create online contents in their own language as no communication can be meaningful and oriented in absence of proper language. Virtual Keyboards & Transliteration tools helps us overcome the language barrier online.

Nomad Green: Concerns On Ulaanbaatar

Rezwan — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:52:26 +0000

The environmental citizen journalists of Nomad Green are voicing their opinions on issues surrounding the degrading environment in Mongolia. The articles are originally posted in Mongolian language and some of them are being translated in Chinese and English.

City University student Munkhtsatsral. B reports (translated by Bolorerdene) that Global warming started to affect in Mongolia since 1970 and these natural disasters occur most in Mongolia:

Wildfires: 15% of Mongolia's landscape consists of forests which are prone to wildfires. In 1998, 132 wildfires occured.

Dust storms and Blizzards: In 1996-1997 there was a blizzard that caused 600000 cattle to freeze and affected 20% of Mongolia’s land.

Drought: One-fourth of Mongolia becomes affected by drought in every 2 or 3 years.

And also there is heavy rainfall and flood.

Bulgantsetseg.N. argues that the Mongolian dwelling Ger (Yurt) is a traditional habitat which is strongly related to the Mongolian cultural features, living condition, weather condition and other reasons. Although it is the main cause of pollution in the capital Ulaanbaatar, they can be used in countryside.

Mongol ger is not just a habitat that poor people live in. it looks like a simple consumption in our everyday life, but it is not as simple as it is seen. This is real historical evidence that shows Mongolian traditional culture in early days. That is why Mongol ger should be used for people like herders in countryside, so that Mongol ger won’t lose essential things itself.

Bolorerdene E points out that the increase in pollution in Ulaanbaatar in the last 10 years is severe, not only because of air pollution. Bolorerdene comments:

Every year there’s 600 thousand meter cube trash, 25% is paper, 17% organic, 34% is plastic, can, bottles, and ash. The 20% of dangerous trash is exposed and without any attention, so the government should take an immediate move against this.

Urantuya.M. talks about citizens' consciousness regarding proper disposal of garbage and using fumeless fuel for a greener environment.

Bayarmaa.J. draws attention to another problem in Ulaanbaatar:

The detergent facility of Ulaanbaatar must filter the dirty water before throw water out to the Tuul River; they just throw water with chemical toxic substance out to the Tuul River straight away because of technical error for the last years. The fishes in Tuul River have been destroyed by big number by people’s wrong action.

REPACTED: Looking Back And Learning From The Past

Rezwan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:57:58 +0000

The former Rising Voices grantee REPACTED trained displaced Kenyans (during the 2007 election violence) living in the camps how to tell their own stories online so that their ordeal is not forgotten. They use magnet theater to sensitize and mobilize people and induce behavioral change on certain issues like AIDS. According to a retrospective post in their blog:

More than 1,200 Kenyans reportedly killed, thousands more injured and over 300,000 people displaced and around 42,000 houses and many businesses ending up being looted or destroyed, Bombing, abductions and killing of innocent people by the ragtag militia called Al-shabab kind of became a daily phenomena thereby leading Kenya to taking radical decision in trying to wipe out and end this menace of the al-shabab.

This year Kenya's next election will be held. Political stability can steady Kenya's turbulent growth. REPACTED (Rapid Effective Participatory Action in community Theater Education and Development) is now on a mission to make Kenyans learn from the past and not to repeat the same mistakes:

REPACTED has in last few months been engaged in civic education program dubbed ”TUFANYE SOTE BIDII NDIO WAJIBU WETU” a line borrowed from the Kenyan national anthem. The sole aim of the program which is being funded by UNDP Amkeni Wa Kenya is to sensitize Kenyans on their role and holistic participation in constitutional matters pertaining to DEVOLUTION. REPACTED intends to make sure that by the time Kenyans will be going to the ballot box they will have been empowered constitutionally.

Last April, REPACTED hosted a beauty pageant for the high school students of Kenya to provide them a forum to enable them discuss issues affecting their sexual lives. The theme of the event was “Using beauty as a source of inspiration towards behavioral change”.

India: Crowdsourcing Traffic Violations On Facebook

Rezwan — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:34:25 +0000

India is one of the few countries in the world where traffic police across the cities like Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kanpur, Kolkata and many more have joined social networking site Facebook and are encouraging posting of crowdsourced information on Traffic violations. Thousands of users are following these pages and many are contributing photos and videos of traffic violations, so that police can take action. According to the authorities, Facebook has increased their power and made people aware of the fact that somebody is watching.

The Facebook pages are providing people a direct mode of communication with the police department. Some police department like Delhi and Chennai have gone further by providing traffic updates on Twitter. Saket Jajodia has a list of police departments of major cities of India, who are on social networking sites.

According to reports a video of a hit-and-run posted by the Bangalore Traffic Police on their Facebook page with a view to find the driver of a car involved in the collision. The call received an overwhelming response, with over 27,000 shares on the social networking websites in only three days.

Journalist Vincent D' Souza reports that critical messages of the public are also allowed on Chennai Police Facebook page. There are instances that the system can be manipulated by abusers. However, the police are able to locate and bring the abusers to justice.

Chennai City Traffic Police has been awarded the jury price in the category best ICT-Enabled eGov Initiative of the Year at the eINDIA 2011 awards.

Nomad Green: More Awareness On Preserving The environment Required

Rezwan — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:12:59 +0000

Deforestation, rapid urbanization, exploiting natural resources, deteriorating air quality are some the threats on environment Mongolia face these days. The citizen journalists of Nomad Green, the Rising Voices Grantee in Mongolia are writing about these issue raising concerns and providing suggestions to stop degradation of the environment.

Plastic surgery department freshman student Byambadolgor M. opines that Mongolians should stop littering and start caring for the environment. Movie Drama sophomore student Munkhtsatsral B describes:

There are 200 people cleaning Ulaanbaatar everyday but there are 2000 people throwing their rubbish in outside not even put in a trash can. [..] I am ashamed for throwing garbage. I am feeling ashamed from our country, our citizens and myself.

NBB university junior year student Mungunshagai N. informs that there are five kinds of endangered mammals in Mongolia - Gobi bear, wild camel, leopard wild sheep, Mongolian antelope and musk deer. They are threatened by the change in environment and poaching of the hunters and everybody has to try hard to save them. Budragchaa S. takes an interview of Mr. Erdenebayar, the manager of “Gobi Bear” NGO, who says:

There were over 30 Gobi bears in 1960-1970 and the number decreased to 25 during 1980-1990. Its number has been decreasing year by year. [..] only 12 number of the animal remains (now).

Mongoloo translated another interview with Mr. Batsaikhan, a zoologist. He says:

If Steppe wolf called as “Antelope’s white” become extinct, the natural system of recovering and treating itself would be collapsed.

Russian Language department freshman student Tuul D reminds that grass and plants are Mongolian steppe’s real wealth. But desertification is decreasing the grazing lands and the plants are dying. Another cause of degradation of grasslands and rivers are gold mining by amateur gold miners aka Ninjas. These people dig dirt, live as outlaws and seek gold from old/used mining fields.

Bathishig Sh. from “Siti Institute” University tells that Mongolia has 3811 lakes, 7000 springs, 3500 rivers, 187 glaciers and 139 underground water resources. The water on surface are being destroyed for some people's own benefit. Bathishig tells:

Even animal drinks water by not destroying or making dirty, so we have to consider it. Don’t we have consciousness differentiating us from animals?

Journalist Enkhjargal. Ch. draws attention to the growing air pollution in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. The government is taking steps to force use of less environmentally damaging fuel for heating, thus reducing 50% of the present pollution. However more awareness among population in this regards is required.

Pearly Jacob, a freelance journalist, narrates how Mongolia is facing the challenge of providing equal access for the disabled.

One of the most active citizens’ journalists of Nomad Green is Ms. Bor. She reports:

Approximately 10 Licenses to explore and operate radioactive mineral resources in all soums (districts) of Sukhbaatar except Munkhhaan and Tumentsogt soums were issued by Government of Mongolia. Exploring and operating operations will be run in 1 million hectare land or 12% of total area of Sukhbaatar province. It is a deliberate devastation.

Architecture freshman student Enkhbayar Erdene-ochir reminds:

If we continuously doing these damages to our nature, we will be getting closer and closer to the time when we regret for (absence of our) beautiful nature.

Languages: Content Aggregation For Underrepresented Voices

Rezwan — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:44:54 +0000

This post is part of our Coverage of the Online Dialogue “Using Citizen Media Tools to Promote Under-Represented Languages.”

During the online dialogue (November 16-22, 2011) at Newtactics.org some interesting issues came up including the need for aggregation of online contents to preserve less spoken languages. There is no easy way or a reliable mechanism to find content in any language. We resort to search engines but what to search for in the sea of information? Content aggregators can play a role in solving this problem. A content aggregator is a platform/tool that gathers Web content from different online sources for reading/reuse. It can be a blog aggregator, Twitter aggregator or any other aggregator of contents.

Solana Larsen, Managing Editor of Global Voices Online told about the importance of contents for underrepresented languages:

People use languages to communicate something that is useful or entertaining to them. If they don't find this online in one language, then they will just switch to another. Aside from technical barriers, that is probably the main thing that needs to be addressed for underrepresented languages to spread online: There has to be unique, relevant and entertaining content online in underrepresented languages for people to begin naturally communicating in them. Most people will simply not do it out of principle.

Rhodri ap Dyfrig replied to Solana citing the case of Welsh language:

Indeed, but much of so the “unique, relevant and entertaining content” that Welsh speakers tend to read is based either around the subject of Wales, Welsh politics, or Welsh language culture.

Rhodri also introduced the Welsh language tweet aggregator Umap Cymraeg and in a blog post he describes details about it:

Umap Cymraeg does several things:

it collects a database of Twitter users that have used Welsh in their tweets (or have the potential to do so). Manually initially, but then the system begins to add users by itself;

it filters the tweets by these users for ones that are in Welsh, then publishes them on the main page;

it filters this stream of tweets for popular words and hashtags and creates hourly/daily/weekly/monthly top trending topics lists

it filters the links in Welsh language tweets to discover what links are most popular, giving a dynamic top news/shared links chart

Screenshot of Umap Cymraeg aggregator top news feed

The Umap site was originally developed to serve as a Basque language Twitter aggregator but was subsequently implemented in Catalan and Welsh. Rhodri explains about Umap Cymraeg in an interview with Global Voices Online:

I felt that Welsh discussions and tweets can get lost in the sea of English tweets, but through language-recognition algorithms and some clever software, this was a chance to see what the true nature of the Welsh discussion was, and maybe see if any interesting patterns emerged. [..] The site now follows over 2,000 Welsh language tweeters and gives a leaderboard of those who are most active in the language.

Rhodri concludes with:

Whatever the results though, Umap Cymraeg has already shown me that the language is alive online, and in a completely natural way. Although much of the trending topics relate back to Wales, Welsh politics or the language, it is obvious that the language is used to discuss nearly everything that goes on in people’s lives, and in a variety of registers and dialects. I hope Umap goes some way to showing that Welsh is a living language, with no sign of retreating into obscurity any time soon.

Y Blogiadur is the only Welsh-language blog aggregator covering nearly all Welsh-language blogs. Fideobobdydd.com is a tool created by Rhodri which filters the best of Welsh-language video online.

Hope we will be able to see aggregators for more underrepresented languages in the future.

Blogging Positively: Observing World AIDS Day Via Tweets

Rezwan — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:19:04 +0000

World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV(AIDS) in anyway they can. On December 1, 2011 Rising Voices invited global users to tweet about how World AIDS Day is being commemorated in different communities. The hashtags #WAD11 and #WorldAIDSDay was already being used to provide a snapshot of what is happening around the world on this theme. Rising Voices recommended use of the hashtag #BlogPos and #WAD11 and encouraged tweets in any language mentioning the country.

We expected that the tweets may include information about:

* How is your community commemorating World AIDS Day?

* What are some of the ongoing issues related to HIV/AIDS facing your community?

* What are you doing to help fight stigma or raise awareness in your community?

* What role does citizen media play in the fight against HIV/AIDS?
