Greetings,
The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/45
Direct translation link:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-T…
I'm planning to send the newsletter on Monday morning (UTC), as usual.
The existing translations will be posted on the wikis in that
language.
There may be a few more edits by tomorrow, but the existing content
should generally remain fairly stable. I'll let you know tomorrow in
any case.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As
always, I appreciate your help and feedback.
Thanks!

MediaWiki is upgrading its plural rules to match CLDR version 26. The
updates include incompatible changes for plural forms in Russian,
Prussian, Tagalog, Manx and several languages that fall back to
Russian. In addition there are minor changes for other languages.
In January 2014, CLDR 24 had introduced several changes in the plural
forms for some of these languages, including Russian, and we had
updated MediaWiki's plural rules to comply with the CLDR standard.
Some of these changes are now being reverted. Below is a detailed
explanation of the changes.
For the migration period, from Monday, 27th October 2014 to Thursday
6th November 2014, we have disabled LocalisationUpdate at Wikimedia
wikis to reduce the chance of ungrammatical translations being
displayed in the interface. Translators are requested to start
updating translations from Tuesday 28th October 2014 onward.
Further updates will be posted on
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Plural_rule_changes_for_many_…
== Russian and language using Russian as fallback ==
Languages affected: Russian (ru), Abkhaz (ab), Avaric (av), Bashkir
(ba), Buryat (bxr), Chechen (ce), Crimean Tatar (crh-cyrl), Chuvash
(cv), Inguish (inh), Komi-Permyak (koi), Karachay-Balkar (krc), Komi
(kv), Lak (lbe), Lezghian (lez), Eastern Mari (mhr), Western Mari
(mrj), Yakut (sah), Tatar (tt), Tatar-Cyrillic (tt-cyrl), Tuvinian
(tyv), Udmurt (udm), Kalmyk (xal).
CLDR 24 plural forms for Russian were:
* Form 1: @integer 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …
* Form 2: @integer 0, 5~19, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …
* Form 3: @integer 2~4, 22~24, 32~34, 42~44, 52~54, 62, 102, 1002, …
@decimal 0.0~1.5, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …
This has been changed to :
* Form 1: @integer 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …
* Form 2: @integer 2~4, 22~24, 32~34, 42~44, 52~54, 62, 102, 1002, …
* Form 3: @integer 0, 5~19, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …
* Form 4: @decimal 0.0~1.5, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …
Plurals in translations for affected languages have been updated
automatically where possible. Translators are requested to check all
messages containing plurals, starting from those which have been
marked as outdated.
== Prussian ==
Prussian (prg) now follows the same rules as Latvian (lv):
* Form 1: @integer 0, 10~20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,
1000000, … @decimal 0.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0,
100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …
* Form 2: @integer 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …
@decimal 0.1, 1.0, 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 10.1, 100.1,
1000.1, …
* Form 3: @integer 2~9, 22~29, 102, 1002, … @decimal 0.2~0.9, 1.2~1.9,
10.2, 100.2, 1000.2, …
Translators are requested to update all translations containing plural
rules. Those translations have been marked as outdated.
== Tagalog ==
Tagalog (tl) has new rules as follows:
* Form 1: @integer 0~3, 5, 7, 8, 10~13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 100, 1000,
10000, 100000, 1000000, … @decimal 0.0~0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0~1.3,
1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0,
1000000.0, …
* Form 2: @integer 4, 6, 9, 14, 16, 19, 24, 26, 104, 1004, … @decimal
0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.4, 1.6, 1.9, 2.4, 2.6, 10.4, 100.4, 1000.4, …
Translators are requested to update all translations containing plural
rules. Those translations have been marked as outdated.
== Manx ==
Manx (gv) has a new (fourth) form for decimals. New rules are as follows:
* Form 1: @integer 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 101, 1001, …
* Form 2: @integer 2, 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 102, 1002, …
* Form 3: @integer 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 1000, 10000,
100000, 1000000, …
* Form 4: @decimal 0.0~1.5, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …
* Form 5: @integer 3~10, 13~19, 23, 103, 1003, …
Translators are requested to update all translations containing plural
rules. Those translations have been marked as outdated.
== Other languages ==
* In Mirandese (mwl), Portuguese (pt) and Brazilian Portuguese
(pt-br), the first form now also includes zero.
* In Uyghur (ug), Lower Sorbian (dsb) and Upper Sorbian (hsb), support
for decimals was added.
* In Asturian (ast) and Western Frisian (fy), the first form is no
longer used for decimals.
Translators are encouraged to review translations with plural forms
and update them where necessary. Because the changes have been minor,
we have not marked those translations as outdated.

plane.
There won't be any changes to the text.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As

Hi all,
since we received several related community requests, I'm glad to announce
that the monthly VisualEditor newsletters will be translatable from now on.
Current issue:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Newsletter/2014/October
Direct translation link:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-V…
This will be delivered to the people who already signed up in the past
months (please sign up! [1]) in addition to a list of relevant pages which
includes at a minimum all the Wikipedias where VisualEditor is already the
default editor [2]. I plan to send it at the latest on Monday, morning time
for Europe.
(Please notice this issue will be a bit exceptional in that it covers two
months of updates instead of one, and it slightly overlaps with the days
translators usually dedicate to Tech News-related work.)
Special thanks to Whatamidoing (WMF) for providing the contents, to James
F. for reviewing them, to Guillaume for assisting me in setting the whole
mechanism up, and to those who will contribute.
Best,
Elitre (WMF)

I just sent this to wikimedia-l, but would like to include translators-l as
well. This isn't a standard translation job at all, but this is still a
very diverse mailing list with members from many different communities, and
I'd like to invite you all to join us. Please also extend this invitation
to your community.

Subject: Nobel Peace Prize announcement and editathon
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi, all!
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in
cooperation with Wikimedia Norge, the Nobel Peace Center
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Center> has invited Wikipedians
from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the
article about the winner(s?) as soon as possible. We'll be sitting
practically in the next room from where the announcement is made, updating
relevant articles as fast as we can.
For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested
to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel, where we'll be talking and
coordinating. We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag
#wikinobel <https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel>, probably mainly from
the account @WikimediaNorge <https://twitter.com/WikimediaNorge>.
The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is *08:30
UTC*, like I said on *Friday, 10th of October*. Please join us, and help
spread this invitation to your community.
