Hi Dhaya,
Thanks for your interest in charts on Wikipedia. I am interested in this
topic too. For future reference, I believe that this thread should be on
the Multimedia mailing list instead of the Analytics mailing list. (: I'm
copying this thread to that list because the thread is likely to be of
interest to people there.
Have a look at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Localizable data for Graphs and Templates on Commons
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Following the localizable maps example, here is a structured tabular data
example that also supports localization, shared data, and can be used
directly from the graphs or from Lua scripts on any wiki. Note that the
graph itself is in English wiki (labs), but data comes from Commons. Feel
free to add translations.

Wikimedia is among the 17 organizations in Google Code-in (GCI) 2016!
GCI starts on November 28th. It's a contest for 13-17 year old students
working on small tasks and a great opportunity to let new contributors
make progress and help with smaller tasks on your To-Do list!
There are currently 17 open Multimedia tasks marked as easy:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/K.5Y3b8fbZbn/#R
What we want you to do:
BECOME A MENTOR:
1. Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016 and add
yourself to the mentor's table.
2. Get an invitation email to register on the contest site.
PROVIDE SMALL TASKS:
We want your tasks in the following areas: code, outreach/research,
documentation/training, quality assurance, user interface/design.
1. Create a Phabricator task (which would take you 2-3h to complete) or
pick an existing Phabricator task you'd mentor.
2. Add the "Google-Code-In-2016" project tag.
3. Add a comment "I will mentor this in #GCI2016".
Looking for task ideas? Check the "easy" tasks in Phabricator:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs offers links.
Make sure to cover expectations and deliverables in your task.
And once the contest starts on Nov 28, be ready to answer and review
contributions quickly.
Any questions? Just ask, we're happy to help.
Thank you for your help broadening our contributor base!
