[X-posted announcement]
Hello,
The Language Engineering team of the Wikimedia Foundation has been working on a tool for easy translation of Wikipedia articles from one language to another. The Content Translation tool has been in development since early 2014 and in July it was deployed and opened for testing on beta labs. The tool currently provides an editing interface, limited machine translation capability, link and reference adaptation and dictionary support. The first rollout included machine translation support from Spanish to Catalan. Since then, the tool has been used to create more than 100 new articles for the Catalan Wikipedia.
On 5 September 2014, the team will be hosting a round-table conversation with some of the editors from the Catalan Wikipedia who have been using Content Translation. The online event is scheduled from 1600 UTC to 1700 UTC. We would like to invite everyone to join us (please use the event url below) and add your questions to know more about this project. The same url can be used later to view an archived version of the event.
Thank you.

Hi.. I have several hacker oriented students doing community service hours (a requirement for undergrads in Mexico) who might have interest in working with this, especially since we do a lot of translation on our campus. I tried to find the tool (is this this? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Roadmap) but Im just a humble English teacher so I have no idea what I am looking at.
Where can I send student to go and take a first look?
