[edit] Introduction

[edit] Background

Indonesian slang is a unique part of Indonesian language which is important for daily life of the people. The problem is, nobody is using formal Indonesian in the daily setting, particularly as spoken language. Moreover, the slang language is quite different from formal Indonesian, and we think that it is important to dedicate a wikibook to teach Indonesian Slang. To add to the problem, the slang vocabulary evolves with time, plus, each region in Indonesia has its particular slang, making it into quite an effort in creating a written documentation about it. That's why it's challenging and exciting.

[edit] Native Speakers

Do you really like your voice and want the rest of the world to hear it? Do you want to improve this Wikibook? If so, please upload audio to accompany each lesson whenever you see a red "audio" link on a table by clicking on that link and uploading your audio to the file given.

If you would like to contribute to other projects needing pronunciation files, see Commons:Indonesian_pronunciation.

[edit] Maintenance Tasks

If an "upload" link brought you here for a file that already exists, please edit the table and change the "0" at the top of the table to the size of the audio file in kilobytes. You can find the filesize by typing [[:image:[filename].ogg]] in the sandbox and clicking on the link.

Add [[Category:Indonesian Audio]] to any Indonesian audio file on Wikibooks that doesn't already have it. To do this, click "edit this page" on the info (Image:) page. Don't do this to files on Commons.

[edit] Creating Audio Files

The best and most efficent format to use for recorded speech that is acceptable at Wikibooks is .ogg with the Speex codec.

First create a .wav file using the software that came with your microphone. Next you must convert the file to .ogg. To do this, first download the binary file from www . republika . pl/roed/speexw/ . Install it, open command prompt (start=>run=>cmd.exe), and type:

 x:\...\speexenc.exe x:\...\file.wav x:\...\file.ogg

where "x:\...\" is the directory of speexenc.exe, the location of the .wav file to be converted, and the soon-to-be location of the .ogg file. Replace "file" with the name of the .wav file.

[edit] Uploading the File to Wikibooks

Click on the red audio link at the top of the table that you created audio for.
Click browse and find the .ogg file, choose a liscense for your file, and click "upload file."
Click "edit this page" at the top and add [[Category:Indonesian Audio]] to the edit box.
Click "Save page" then reload the page of the table you created audio for and make sure the "audio" link turns blue.
Edit the table and change the "0" at the top to the file size amount in kilobytes of the file (listed on the file's description page).

[edit] Custom File Names or Multiple Files Per Table

To use a custom file name for a table, edit the table and add |[file location(s) and info] between the column number (often 4) and }}.

Example:

{| {{Indonesian Table|Vocabulary|Airports and Airplanes|Bandara dan Penerbangan|258 + 205|4|audio: [[media:Indonesian-Liburan7.ogg|One]] • [[media:Indonesian-Liburan8.ogg|Two]]}}
