Info Box should be in Kiswahili

Habari ndugu @SpesBona Thank you so much for helping us edit our Swahili Wikipedia articles. However, the information boxes you're adding about the players are still in English, not Swahili. This doesn't make sense. Peace Justine Msechu (majadiliano) 20:06, 14 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

Dear Justine Msechu, we still can translate this infobox into Swahili. On the Afrikaans Wikipedia, our Template:Inligtingskas Sokkerspeler uses English parameters which automatically translate into Afrikaans (e.g. af:Lionel Messi. I can help with this here, too. I only need the Swahili terms for cricket (and rugby). SpesBona (majadiliano) 20:15, 14 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

Yes, here’s an example of "Personal information" in Swahili:

Taarifa binafsi

Jina kamili: Lionel Andrés Messi

Tarehe ya kuzaliwa: 24 Juni 1987 (umri miaka 37)

Mahali pa kuzaliwa: Rosario, Argentina

Kimo: 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)

Nafasi: Mshambuliaji

Maybe we can start with this sample, and then have a call to go over how you create the English infobox so we can duplicate it in Kiswahili. Let’s keep in touch.

Peace, Justine Msechu (majadiliano) 20:50, 14 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

@Justine Msechu: thank you for your help! I just started Mtumiaji:SpesBona/ukurasa wa majaribio in my sandbox. We can translate this step by step and then translate the original template. The next steps are the cricket terms. I found Level Up Your Swahili Vocabulary in Sports, Lesson 47: Sports and Day 11 – An idiot’s guide to teaching cricket in Kiswahili online. Best Regards!

@Justine Msechu, Rich Farmbrough, Muddyb, and Riccardo Riccioni: I tried my best to translate Kigezo:Infobox cricketer in Swahili: Mtumiaji:SpesBona/ukurasa wa majaribio. What do you all think about it? Is the language good or should I improve something? SpesBona (majadiliano) 19:30, 15 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

i'm working on it Justine Msechu (majadiliano) 02:01, 20 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

@Justine Msechu: Thanks a lot! In the meantime I translated some old navboxes for Kenyan squads, since they where still in English. Peace and have a nice weekend! SpesBona (majadiliano) 19:20, 22 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

I have just seen a new English template in our Swahili Wikipedia. It will create many problems, like the earlier invasion of such templates... Please! Peace to you! --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 10:46, 26 Novemba 2024 (UTC)

@Riccardo Riccioni: It's not 100% English as I tried to translate the words I know in Swahili. I also translated the content of the old ones, except "wicket-keeper", which I don't know in Swahili. You are also invited to help with Infobox cricketer, see above. Peace to you. [[Mtumiaji:SpesBona|SpesBona]] (majadiliano) 12:06, 26 Novemba 2024 (UTC)
