Iphulo I SADiLaR-Wikipedia-PanSALB (SWiP) liququzelela ulondolozo lweeLwimi zesiNtu

Iphulo I SADiLaR-Wikipedia-PanSALB (SWiP) laphehlelelwa ngomhla wama 20 kweyoMsintsi ngonyaka ka 2023. Lomcimbi wophelelelo wawusingathwe liziko lemfundo ephakamileyo I University of South Africa (UNISA). Injongo yeliphulo kukuphakamisa nokuphucula iiLwimi zeSintu libambisene neBhodi yeeLwimi yoMzantsi Africa (PanSALB), I Wikipedia kunye ne SADiLaR.

Wongeze wathi eliphulo lizakuxhobisa abasebenzi besebe leeLwimi ngolwazi kwaye libakhuthaze ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwiphulo le SWiP lokuqinisekisa ukuba iiLwimi zeSintu ziyafumaneka kumaqonga afana ne Wikipedia etshotshentla ukuphuhlisa iilwimi zeSintu kwi intanethi^[1].

Iphulo le SWiP libhala imbhali entsha ngeeLwimi zesiNtu kwi-Intanethi

Eliphulo lisekelwe ukusombulula ingxuba-kaxaka ihlabathi elijamelene nayo yokufa kweelimi zase Afrika, lengxuba ka xaka idalwe kukuba abantu balujongele phantsi olwimi lwabo lwenkobe, baxabise kakhulu ulwimi lwemboleko, isiNgesi. iKumkani yamaNdebele iNgwenyama Makhosonke II uthi uLwimi lungakheka kuphela xa kunokubakho Izithwalandwe, IIngcungela, iinjingalwazi nababhali ababhala imibongo , iingoma neminye imisebenzi yabo beyibhala ngolwimi lwasekhaya. Ikumkani ibhekise lamazwi kumsitho wokuphehlelelwa koLwimi isiNdebele kwiqonga I Wikipedia. Lo msitho wawubanjelwe kwiziko lemfundo ephakamileyo I University of South Africa (UNISA)^[2]. Iphulo le SWiP linabele nakwamanye amaphondo kodwa lijole kakhulu kumaziko emfundo ephakamileyo. Ngomhla wama 20 kweyeSilimela kunyaka ka 2024, iphulo le SWiP belindwendwele I Central University of Technology eFreystata. Injongo ibikukuqeqesha abaququzeleli nabathandi beeLwimi kunye nabafundi ukuba bangenele eliphulo ukugcina iilwimi zabo kwiqonga I Wikipedia. Koluqeqesho, bekukho neBhodi yeeLwimi yoMzantsi Africa (PanSALB) nebimelwe ngu Nkosikazi Nikiwe Mathebula, uphawule wathi igalelo lale Bhodi kwiphulo lika SWiP kukuba baqinisekise ukuba uLwimi lubhalwa ngendlela echanekileyo njengoko iBhodi iqinisekisa ukuba ikhupha imiqaqo yokubhala qho emva kweminyaka emihlanu^[3].

Eliphulo I SADiLaR-Wikipedia-PanSALB (SWiP) liqokelela abantu abatsha kuba ngabo abasele necekwa lokuvuselela iiLwimi zeSintu ngoba, ngabo iinkokheli zangomgso. Ubunkokheli benene buqala ekwazini ulwimi lwakho kuba ayikho inkokheli yenene eza ebantwini bayo ifike ithethe ulwimi lwemboleko. Uphando luthi ukuba ukuze uluntu lube nemvakalelo yintetho yakho lubenokuyiqonda kwangoko, kukuba uthethe ngolwimi lwakhe umntu.

Kanye kulenyanga ebizwa ngokuba yinyanga yamaAfrika, sibhiyozela imisebenzi emihle eyenziwa liphulo I SWiP, imisebenzi ebeka iiLwimi zeSintu kwinqwanqwa eliphezulu. Enye into ethanda ukulibaleka kwezinzame zolondolozo lolwimi ngabantu basekuhaleni, kodwa I SWiP ibasondezile kweliphulo ukuze baphefumlele lomsebenzi ngamva abo nolwazi lwemveli. Kuba kaloku kakade ngabo abazazingcono iiLwimi zasekhaya ukudlula abo bazifunda esikolweni. Siliqhwabela izandla eliphulo ngokuba liquke nabanini beeLwimi kwiphulo labo^[5].

Zilishumi iDyunivesithi ezonyuliweyo ukuba zibelikhaya lephulo I SWiP kuquka kuzo I Cape Peninsula University of Technology, nayo izeke mzekweni yaqalisa eliphulo kumaziko alo. Eliphulo lisingethwe ngokusesikweni kwi khampasi yase Bellville kweliziko-mfundo, ngomhla wama 20 kweyoMsintsi kunyaka ka 2024. Obekhokhele lomsitho nguye uGqirha Kabelo Sebolai noyintloko yecandelo loLwimi, nowonyulwe ukuba akhokele eliphulo kwiDyunivesithi I CPUT kwelentlanzi. Uthethe wathi, eliphulo lokugcina iiLwimi ku Wikipedia lizakubancedisa belicandelo leeLwimi ekwakheni amaqhinga azakukhuthaza ukuba kwakhiwe imigaqo ezakuquka iiLwimi zonke^[6].
