Hi,
as every month, translations are wanted for the new edition of the
"Wikimedia Highlights", consisting of the most relevant information
from the Foundation's general and technical monthly reports for April,
with a short selection of other important news from the Wikimedia
movement. Please consider helping non-English-language Wikimedia
communities to stay updated on the most important WMF activities,
MediaWiki development work and other international news from the past
month, by providing a translation at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_April_2012
For Danish, German, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian
(Bokmål), Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Finnish, Russian, Hungarian and
Macedonian, it is useful to compare the earlier translations
(
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights#Previous_issues
), as the "Data and Trends" and "Financials" sections contain a lot
of
recurring vocabulary.
As usual, it is planned to announce the translations (i.e.those which
have been completed at that point) on the general
Wikimedia announcements list Wikimediaannounce-l, on Wednesday, May
16. (On the suggestion of some, trying out a longer timespan of seven
days this time - it's of course always a balance between giving
translators enough time and getting the translated versions to readers
not too long after the end of the month.)
We are also posting them as language- and country-targeted updates of
the official Wikipedia Facebook account, which reaches a large
audience, and will experiment with promoting them on other social
media channels as well.
Many thanks!
