The Language Engineering team is in the process of redesigning the Translate extension.

The Translate extension turns MediaWiki into a localisation platform, and it is used in Meta-Wiki, mediawiki.org and a few other Wikimedia wikis, as well as other opensource projects, to make them available in multiple languages.

We are planning to do a walkthrough for the latest revision of the designs tomorrow.

Since the extension is used by many different projects and users, we want to make this meeting open to get feedback from anyone interested.

So we welcome you to join us in the discussion:

When. Wednesday 27 of February at 8:30 PST (San Francisco), 16:30 UTC (UK), 17:30 CET (most of Europe), and 22:00 IST (India).

What. During the meeting we'll discuss information from our design specification and the current implementation available at translatewiki.net. Feel free to take a look to the docs or try the new UI before the event.

How to participate. The event will be broadcasted using Google Hangouts On Air, so that it can be seen live or accessed later. We'll share the URL as the event approaches. The #mediawiki-i18n IRC channel will be used to get questions from the audience.

If you are interested in entering the hangout for a face-to-face participation, you can ping me and I'll send an invite as long as there are free seats remaining.
