Hello everyone!

We're excited to announce that the next Language Community Meeting is happening soon, May 30th at 15:00 UTC! If you’d like to join, simply sign up on the wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting where we share updates on language-related projects, discuss technical challenges in language wikis, and collaborate on solutions. In our upcoming meeting, we plan to cover results from a recent language onboarding experiment and hear experiences from a Nigerian contributor who contributes to the Obolo wiki, which was part of this experiment.

Got a topic to share? Whether it’s a technical update from your project, a challenge you need help with, or a request for interpretation support, we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reply to this message or add agenda items to the document here.

Also, we wanted to highlight that the 7th edition of the Language & Internationalization newsletter (April 2025) is available here: Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter/2025/April. This newsletter provides updates from the January–March 2025 quarter on new feature development, improvements in various language-related technical projects and support efforts, details about community meetings, and ideas for contributing to projects. To stay updated, you can subscribe to the newsletter on its wiki page: Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter.

Would you be interested in contributing to the technical workaround language development? There is a newcomer-friendly core namespace-related task waiting for your contribution: T391725.

We look forward to your ideas and participation at the Language Community Meeting, see you there!

Cheers,

Srishti
