Session
China's influence is not only in geopolitics but also in the Wikimedia Movement! Taiwanese Wikimedians are one of the forces behind Mandarin Wikipedia, even though it can easily convert different terms usage between Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin, but it is not possible to transcribe China's ideologies. We will explain how the zh conversion method works and its limitations. We will also introduce other Sinitic languages, like Taiwanese Taigi, which is shadowed by the strong Mandarin language. What is the possible way of promoting small languages like Taiwanese Taigi under the influence of Taiwanese Mandarin on Wikimedia projects?
