Quality Boost for Northern Sámi
Wikipedia is built and maintained by volunteers, allowing readers to access knowledge in their own language. Now, not only the encyclopedic content but also most of the user interface is available in Northern Sámi. Enthusiasts and hired professionals have translated, proofread, and discussed their way to quality language.
