Why can't I see WikiVoyage in Tamil and Malayalam languages?
[edit]Tamil and Malayalam are popular Indian languages, spoken by natives of the southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Besides, these languages are spoken by expatriates in different parts of the world. Tamil is also recognised as an official language in Srilanka and Singapore as well. Yet, I am unable to see WikiVoyage websites in these languages. Sree1959 (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
- Wikivoyage does not have Tamil and Malayalam versions because no-one has created them. Wikivoyage is entirely created by volunteers. If a team of people who speak those languages wanted to create new versions of Wikivoyage, they would be supported by regular contributors to English and other language versions of Wikivoyage. If the problem is that your browser does not automatically translate the English version of Wikivoyage to those languages, it is a problem with your browser that is beyond our control.

- @Sree1959: In addition, most incubator projects often need an active community to come out of the incubator. I know @Faster than Thunder: has been pretty onto getting a tawikivoyage up and coming; no idea about mywikivoyage, though. But I would very much encourage you to help out these projects at incubator:Wy/ta/ and incubator:Wy/my/ if you can. //shb (t | c | m) 22:47, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
- As Sree1959 probably doesn't know our jargon: The "incubator" is where new projects, such as new language versions of Wikivoyage, are started. If you can get people to work on the incubator sites that shb linked, showing they are viable projects, they will at some point be moved to their own domain (ta.wikivoyage.org and my.wikivoyage.org) and be more widely linked (such as in the "in other languages" lists and at www.wikivoyage.org). You could start by creating articles for your home towns, favourite travel destinations and other places you know, and translating articles in English for other important destinations. –LPfi (talk) 09:46, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- (Oops, it seems Sree1959 indeed might know our jargon, sorry. I hope you are able to gather the communities needed for getting those language versions running. Check what experiences there are about how large a community is needed for sustained activity. –LPfi (talk) 09:50, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanking everyone here who have kindly helped me improve my learning curve. I managed to find the incubator projects and have started working on them. Sree1959 (talk) 16:32, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
