Greetings,
The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/27
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 PST. The existing translations will be posted on the
wikis in that language.
There may be a few more edits by Friday, but the existing content
should generally remain fairly stable. I'll let you know on Friday in
any case.
Note: The newsletter includes an item about better translation memory
in the Translate tool; starting next week, translation memory should
load a lot faster. This makes me really happy :)
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As
always, I appreciate your help and feedback.
Thanks!

I usually send this request for translation on Thursday, but there was
already a lot of content ready so I thought I'd send it early :)

Hi dear translators,
I'm passing on a request from my friend and colleague Victor Grigas.
There's this short video about editathons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikipediaMeetup.webm
It is going to be distributed on Friday.
It would be very nice if you could get it translated to your language. I
just did it for Hebrew and it took me less than 3 minutes.
Instructions:
1. Copy the text from
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:WikipediaMeetup.webm.en.srt
2. Create a page similar to the URL above, but with your language code
instead of en. For example, for French write:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:WikipediaMeetup.webm.fr.srt
3. Paste the English text that you copied in step 1.
4. Change the English lines to lines in your language. Don't change the
lines with numbers and times.
5. Save the page. That's it! To test, go again to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikipediaMeetup.webm
... and while playing the video, click the CC button at the bottom of the
player and select your language.
Thank you!
