Brand-new Wikimedia digest
by Ed Erhart 28 Oct '15

28 Oct '15

Hi all, We're starting a new Wikimedia digest that will be a globally focused hub for important Wikimedia movement and Foundation initiatives. I'm aiming to supplement existing community news outlets while also filling a void left by inactive outlets like the Portuguese Wikipedia's Correio da Wikipédia, for example. The first article in this series is now ready for translation, and I'd appreciate help in getting it out to your communities (along with any suggestions you have to improve future posts). I'm looking to publish this late tomorrow in as many languages as possible. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Roundup_2015-10-29 Thank you all very much! -- Ed Erhart Editorial Associate Wikimedia Foundation

Hi everyone, The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/43 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 afternoon (UTC), i.e. Monday morning PDT. The existing translations will be posted on the wikis in that language. I have tried to make it easier for readers to see which items are recurring every week, as well as which items which are mainly relevant to those with more technical knowledge. If you have opinions, feel free to give feedback here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tech/News#Symbols Yesterday, deployments were cancelled for the rest of this week, which will affect the schedule next week as well. This means there's a higher risk than usual of things changing between now and tomorrow. I will let you know on Friday in any case. Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As always, I appreciate your help and feedback. Thanks! //Johan Jönsson --

Translation check for Community Tech's tech support survey
by Danny Horn 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hi translators, In a couple days, the Community Tech team is going to send out a tech support survey to wikis in 9 languages. The translations are done and the surveys are ready to go, but we'd like a final check to make sure that we've done everything correctly. I've got test surveys up for each language. If there's a language that you know on the list below, I'd appreciate it if you could look it over and tell me if you see any mistakes. We're planning to send the real surveys out on Thursday. Thank you for your help!

Localization and translation support for fundraising
by Jessica Robell 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Dear translators, As many of you know, the Wikimedia Foundation run fundraising campaigns worldwide. We strive to localize our campaigns and create high quality messages in a variety of languages. I would like to send out a warm thank you to those of you who have provided support and helped us translate fundraising messages into your language. Your help and support is most valuable. We are always interested in receiving local feedback regarding our campaigns and learn how we can improve our messaging. In order to do so, our aim is to create a panel of 'local experts' who can help us answer questions and provide feedback regarding localization. If you are interested in becoming part of such a group and provide feedback regarding your country, culture or language, please take one minute to fill in this quick form. <https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/1tzYMSJxIwZUq9m8CVj-dYmEmXy…> I would also like to encourage those of you who might not be aware of the translation and localization process to visit the Fundraising translation hub <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/Translation> to learn more. Also, please feel free to reach out to me directly via email on on my talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:JRobell_(WMF)> if you have questions or concerns. Thank you for your valuable support. Kind regards, Jessica Robell Sr. Global Campaign Manager Wikimedia Foundation *Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. Donate. <https://donate.wikimedia.org/>*
