Hi,
as many of you might be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation publishes
regular monthly reports about its work
(https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Foundation_reports,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_engineering_reports
). Translations of the entire reports do not seem feasible, but we
would like to try this with an "Highlights" excerpt consisting of
basic financial and traffic data, together with a combined selection
from the most notable activities of both the general and the technical
report about September.
Please consider helping non-English-language Wikimedia communities to
stay updated on the most important WMF activities and MediaWiki
development work of the past month, by providing a translation into
German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese or Arabic at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Highlights,_September_…
It would be great if it were possible to send a posting announcing
completed translations on Wednesday (October 19).
Many thanks!

Hi,
I'm sorry I've been neglecting this list when announcing new pages for the
fundraiser translations. Thanks to Minh Huy Trần Nguyễn for reminding me
that I hadn't done that.
There is one new page up for translation today; a small but important one.
It is the banner texts and landing page headers. You can see the English
version here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011/Banners_and_LPs/en and type
in your language code to start translating it.
There will soon be more core messages to translate as well, because we will
be using an expanded system that allows for more currencies and payment
methods. I will announce that one too when it is ready.
Thanks to all who have helped so far! More help with translation and
proofreading is always welcome of course.

Thank you. I didn't know about this WikiProject.
After discussing it a bit with my professor, I've posted a request over at

[Cross-posting this to Translators-l, WikiEN-l and Foundation-l, because
there is a considerable amount of overlap, as you'll see. Volunteers from
several Wikipedias may be needed, and the Foundation could eventually be
involved if the project becomes an annual one. I apologize in advance to
those subscribed all three lists.]
Hello everyone,
(Note: For those who don't know me, I am [[User:Arria Belli]]. Former admin
and arbitrator over at fr:wp, and member of the LangCom. I met some of you
at Wikimania 2008 Alexandria, where I did a presentation called "Translation
in Wikimedia Projects" ex-aequo with [[User:Britty]].)
I've just started a master's degree at the ESIT (Ecole supérieure
d'interprètes et de traducteurs) in Paris, in English/French/Spanish
translation. It's quite a good school; a large percentage of the
interpreters and translators working in international organizations are
graduates of the ESIT.
My French-to-English translation professor has asked me to set up a project
for all the students in her class, translating Wikipedia articles. We're a
small group: there are only about 5 or 6 of us. What we'd be doing is taking
articles from fr: and translating them to en:. Students are free to choose
the articles they'll translate.
Since I'm mostly active over at fr:wp, I will need some help from people on
en:. Most notably, I think it would be wise to set up a small group of en:wp
volunteers who could guide the students on a one-on-one basis in case they
have trouble understanding wiki markup, references, etc. I would be
coordinating the project, but I don't think I could field all the students'
questions at once! Any volunteers?
I want to make this as positive an experience as possible for everyone
involved: the students, the professor and the institution. If the project is
successful enough, it might happen again next year or even next semester,
and become a regular thing.
As a very important aside: My professor told me that professors in other
language combinations might also be interested in Wikipedia projects of
their own. Therefore, there could be an English-to-Russian project, or a
French-to-Spanish one, or French-to-Korean, etc. I'll let you know as soon
as I'm told whether this could happen. Even if no other language
combinations are interested, they might be next year if this one is a
success.
Thank you, and happy editing.

Hi all. I'm working with the folks at WMF to help run the Weekend of
Code challenge:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Weekend_of_Code
Our goal is to run banners on the various WMF sites, in as many
languages as we can, to let hackers all around the world know about
the contest, and to urge them to participate. (Note: the contest will
be run in English.) We're hoping to start the contest in a couple of
weeks, so we need the translations quite quickly.
We're looking to get the following banner text translated into as many
languages as possible:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Projects/Weekend_of_Code/Banner_Text
Not exactly sure what the best process is, but I'm delighted to answer
anyone's questions. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. :)
