Digitizing the letters from Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum Yogyakarta continues

By Rachmat04

Transcribing the letters in Dutch Wikisource

Wikimedia Indonesia via Wikimedia Netherlands asks for help to volunteers to transcribe the letters in Dutch Wikisource as most of the letters are in Dutch languages. The transcribing process is required before translating those documents into Bahasa Indonesia. One of the transcribing volunteers is WeeJeeVee, who is fascinated in doing transcribing text to Dutch Wikisource and has set up a page about this activity in Dutch Wikisource.

Another volunteer involved in this activity is Sersan Mayor Kururu, an Indonesian Wikipedian. She is a university student in Yogyakarta and has knowledge in the Dutch language. Sersan Mayor Kururu has helped Wikimedia Indonesia for the past five months in doing letter conservation and digitization.

Translating the letters

Started from January 2018, the letters were translated into Bahasa Indonesia from Dutch, English, and Javanese languages to provide what the letters say to people widely, especially for the people in Indonesia. This effort will continue until the end of February and done by Meursault2004, a senior Wikipedian from Indonesia.

Some of his translations can be seen at File talk:TDKGM 01.007 Koleksi dari Perpustakaan Museum Tamansiswa Dewantara Kirti Griya.pdf. Full contributions of Meursault2004's translations can be seen here.
