+ ## How to Contribute?
132
+ You can contribute to the Macedonian corpus by:
133
+
134
+ 1. **Digitalize Books and Materials**:
135
+ - Contribute by digitalizing books, documents, and other materials that are legally in the public domain. These digitalized materials can be used to expand the datasets.
136
+ - Ensure that the materials you contribute comply with copyright laws and are explicitly permitted for public use.
137
+
138
+ 2. **Expand Data Collection**:
139
+ - Share other forms of Macedonian-language text data, such as articles, essays, or transcripts, that can legally be used for training or evaluating language models.
140
+
141
+ 3. **Encourage Institutional Participation**:
142
+ - We hope this initiative inspires institutions in Macedonia, such as libraries, universities, and research centers, to take part in the digitalization of Macedonian-language materials.
143
+ - The availability of such materials will enable the development of specialized software tailored to the needs of Macedonian speakers and researchers.
