Abuse. I see two options: not creating an issue at all or creating
an issue and translating it as usual. There is no midpoint. The
sugested midpoint is another support of the idea that everybody must
know English to work normally in WMF projects. People are forced to
know English to learn about tech news in the case. I won't stand it
and just my being offline for long prevented me to translate the
issue in time. I'll make sure that even if Vira won't translate
issues there will be Ukrainian translation available in further.
There are better and worse ways to defy WMF. This way is not mine.<br>

Hi again,<br>
as a follow-up to my previous e-mail as well as to the
e-mail I sent<br>
out on Sunday — and as I wrote to some of you on Meta-Wiki —
I<br>
strongly suggest that you consider /not/ translating Tech
News this<br>
week in protest against the recent actions of the
Foundation.<br>
<br>
I have explained my reasoning in detail in my previous
e-mail, so I<br>
won't repeat it here: I'll only say that /not/ translating
Tech News<br>
this week is a good method of bearing pressure on the
Foundation, as<br>
it goes against the goals that they set themselves as an
organization.<br>
<br>
It might be just a small gesture, but we are seeing similar
protests<br>
and strikes from all sides of the Wikimedia community —
admins<br>
resigning or going inactive, regular users withdrawing
article<br>
namespace contributions, OTRS agents stopping their work.<br>
<br>
As the saying goes, little strokes fell greats oaks, so if
you<br>
disagree with what the Foundation has done (and keeps
doing), please<br>
consider not translating Tech News this week.<br>
<br>
Let's all hope that the Foundation reverse their decision so
we can<br>
get back to work and make the Wikimedia movement better
through<br>
discussion and consensus rather than through the threat and
use of<br>
force.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
