We do have Hindi in plans and we'll definitely have it added in the future.

20 Mini Stories in Swahili were delivered so far.

We don't have anything in Kazakh at the moment.

Unfortunately no Latin for now, but I'll do my best to get Latin Mini Stories soon too.

Seconded

Should be before the spring of 2021.

Hindi isn't available at LingQ at the moment.

belive that Lingq needs 40 of the 60 MS. Based on previous posts there are no MS in Albanian.

Also Lingq wont put up new languages until the 5.0 version is ready.

I would like to have any more volunteers. I am not an expert in Esperanto but I will try to continue (but I don't know when because all my thoughts are dedicated on stopping violence in Belarus and on requesting sanctions against the cruel dictator Lukashenko who finally lost the presidential elections).

@Zoran, do we have any more Esperanto volunteers?

Not at the moment, sorry.

I would be curious on that as well, since I would be interested in translating some, though not all, stories to Ancient Greek.

Will be added after we launch LingQ 5.0 version. Before that, we won't be adding new languages.

Do you have a link for Latvian ms elsewhere? I'd be glad to download it.

No, nothing in that language so far.

I was looking into this a while ago - a fellow LingQ user was going to try asking on the Facebook forum, and I put up a request on Reddit, and in response, Reddit user 'Kahless' actually put up a Klingon translation of the first mini story - but explained that many of the words in the story were things that he had to backform himself, since they did not yet officially exist in Klingon. I'm sure you're probably aware, since you are asking the question, but for anyone else reading this, the Klingonist community is very concerned about canonicity - only Mark Okrand may produce new official Klingon vocabulary (not a rule that Okrand himself ever came up with or insisted on, but one which the community has decided to uphold, presumably on the basis that that means that there is an unambiguous shared pool of vocabulary that all Klingonists can find without too much difficulty), and the language is far from complete, since creating the Klingon language is only an occasional project for Okrand, so unless and until the missing words from the mini stories can be brought into existence by the creator of the language, it would be impossible to create a translation that the Klingonist community would consider valid.

Possible solutions: 1) identify all the words in the Mini Stories that do not yet have Klingon translations, and persuade Mark Okrand to create translations of all of those words (conceivable - he does sometimes oblige the enthusiasts by bringing along lists of translations of most-requested words when he goes to the qepHom or qep'a' meet-ups), and then get someone to translate the stories using those words;

2) Get someone who already speaks Klingon to produce a set of 60 stories in the same sort of style as the mini stories, but only using vocabulary that already exists in Klingon, and persuade the LingQ staff to add Klingon as a supported language on the basis of that. Probability - I expect that adding a niche conlang would be very low on LingQ's priority list, but if they were willing to agree in principle, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to persuade existing Klingon speakers to create the materials. I noticed that DuoLingo's Klingon course is about twice the size of their newly-added Finnish course, which may by a good indicator of the level of dedication one could expect people to put into the project of expanding the opportunities to learn it, but on the other hand, there is not yet a good machine translation tool for Klingon. LingQ will presumably not want to go to the effort of creating a whole Google Translate style module, although I believe that the boQwI' app will parse down individual words, so it may be that you could effectively have an on-board dictionary but not an onboard autotranslate for phrases of more than one word. But on the other other hand, Klingon grammar, though consciously designed to be as unlike any Earthly languages as possible, is nonetheless extremely regular, so possibly the task of creating a machine translation tool would not be that hard, it's just that no one has yet done it.

@DocT All 60 Hungarian stories are up now.

I had to do audio optimization so it took longer than expected. Started loading them now, all 60 will be up within a day or two.

We don't have anything in Albanian so far.

OK, I'll edit the top post in a bit. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thai is coming in 2020, we already have some stories delivered for it and I expect to have it available probably before summer.

I've now got the raw audio of stories 9 to 14; still need to edit them. Hopefully have time in the next couple of weeks.

No much progress with Norwegian so far I am afraid.

@bull We have all 60 stories done in European Portuguese. They were delivered a few days ago and I will put them on the site soon.

I hoped somebody wants to continue translating into Esperanto...

I am currently sitting on audio for the first 7 Finnish stories; hopefully will have time to edit them this weekend, and ideally meet up again with my friend in Edinburgh for another batch in November. Which ones have you got already? If they are from someone who can do more of them sooner than that, it may be worth asking if they would be willing to - although, if you would be willing to send me the ones you've got, I can normalise them to the same volume as the ones my friend did (and indeed, compare the audio quality - if I was able to get better sound quality than the other person, then it might be worth waiting till my friend can do another batch, even if it takes a little longer).

Hopefully Norwegian too!

Great! Croatian is up? Dutch is up? Thank you

I hope Lithuanian will be added soon!

That's a friend of mine, actually, albeit one I don't see very often. Last I heard from her, in late March, she said she was making headway, and thought that she might have them done in a month or so, so hopefully we will hear something soon.

We have 10 stories in Hungarian delivered so far.

It's not easy finding materials in European Portuguese . So this is highly appreciated.

Brilliant. Thank you! These are really useful and seem just what I needed to give me some structure. :) please let us know when the rest go up. :) thank you!!

Hi Zoran... i'm loving the European Portuguese Mini Stories, and they've given my language learning motivation a good kick start again! The lady's voice is really clear and the recordings are excellent. Do you know when the next set will be ready for use? I'm working my way through and woudl like to be able to continue with them, if possible.

I have to agree. I reach a conversational level faster when I focus on mini-stories at the beginning. I am now using the mini-stories (which I am very familiar with by now!) to focus on points of grammar in Russian and Ukrainian. We'll see how it turns out.

We will add more as soon as we get more stories. If you are from Denmark and are interested to help, let me know! - zoran(at)lingq.com

Well German has tons of other content available, but we do need to have minimum 40 or even all 60 Mini Stories completed when adding new language to Beta.

More German stories are work in progress and will be completed in the near future.

Yes, I'll upload more within next 3-4 days. Cantonese and some other languages too.

Thanks for posting these stories, Zoran. The audio quality is amazing. However, I just noticed two spelling errors in Story 21. Spawdził instead of sprawdził and nowey instead of nowy. Should I correct any spelling errors I see in the 'Edit' menu? Nevertheless, the audio is correct.

Yes, I was a bit sceptical in the beginning of the project, but the possibility to compare the mini-stories between different languages is great and very helpful.

Thanks a lot, Zoran and Steve!

The quality of the Czech stories, the narration, the sound, all are excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Can't wait to refresh my Czech and use these to get at some issues of grammar, and very common vocabulary that always give me trouble. And now back to Arabic, a lot tougher sledding!!

In time we hope to introduce grammar explanations for all of these stories.If anyone wants to help out, please let me know.

Or even give us a link at the top of this thread to each of the series of mini stories in Each language. In particular for me: is Chinese in the process of getting past the first ten stories?

@gregf That's good suggestion, thanks! I'll edit the first post and include all Mini Stories in all languages there. Lot of new Mini Stories added lately!
