Please translate https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch_2016
This is about a major maintenance project for the Wikimedia servers. *All*
of the WMF sites will be in read-only mode for about half an hour – twice –
during the week of 18 April 2016. It will be possible to read everything,
but not possible to edit anything, during that time.
This project could be postponed (again) in case of technical problems.
However, I believe that this is the final version.
I have not invalidated any of the previous translations. This means that
some languages that are marked as "finished" are outdated, particularly for
the item that includes the time of day. (If you'd prefer, I can change
that, but I didn't want to discard anyone's previous work.)
Also, I have included several timezones in one message. Not everyone seems
to find UTC time convenient, and I want every editor to know when this is
happening. In your translations, please feel free to discard any that are
likely to be irrelevant to most people who speak your language, and to add
any new ones.
Thank you. I really do appreciate your help with this.

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.
There may be a few more edits by Friday, but the existing content
should generally remain fairly stable. 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.

Dear Translators,
Please could you help translate the election statements of current WMF
Board candidates?
At the moment two Board seats are being selected by the Wikimedia
affiliates (chapters and thematic organisations). There are 10 candidates
and each has made an election statement - listed here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2016/Nominat…
None of the statements should change now (except possibly for the
"endorsements" section at the bottom, which may be added to).
If you are able to help translate the election statements in the time
between now and March 23rd (when voting opens), that would be great, and
will help more of the community know what candidates stand for.
If you are able to help, many thanks. And if you have any questions please
email me (I am temporarily subscribed to this list) or contact me on meta.
Regards,
Chris Keating
(Election Facilitator)

There will be a few more edits by Friday – I'm waiting for more
information regarding a couple of things, and don't want to waste your
time translating something I might need to change – but the existing
content should generally remain fairly stable. It'll still definitely
be shorter than last week.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As

Hello amazing team of translators,
My colleague Patrick Earley
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PEarley_(WMF)> who has been leading
the Foundation's work on the topic of Harassment is trying to get more
attendance in discussions taking place under the Harassment Workshop.
He's put together a very brief invitation for community members to join
those discussions here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PEarley_%28WMF%29/Sandbox>, and it
would be great if we could get it translated to a few more languages than
we have already, so that more people can see it in their native or
preferred language.
Are you able to help? If yes, go for it and thank you much in advance :)
Warm regards,
