There is a mistake in the translation to Spanish: The Word “translate” has been traslated to “trasladar”, which in spanish meant “to move something (or one-self) to another place”. The correct term must be “traducir”. Please change it , because aparently I can’t do it. Thanks. Enviado desde Correo de Windows

Inspire Campaign translation request

Hi Translators, I'm preparing for a new Inspire Campaign focused on bringing in ideas on how we can better do outreach to outside places of knowledge, and work together with public & private institutions, organizations, and experts to improve our projects. There are three pages I've marked up for translation that could use your help, if you're able: - CentralNotice Banner <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=Centra…> (two sentences) - Landing page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire> (about ten sentences, some existing content has stayed the same) - Frequently Asked Questions page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire/FAQ> (full page, lots of content to translate) Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions around language, need a clarification, or have a suggestion for the language on any of the pages for the purpose of easing translation. Thank you so much for your hard and important work. These translations in these campaigns help build ideas and teams from all over the world. Thanks, Chris Chris "Jethro" Schilling I JethroBT (WMF) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:I_JethroBT_(WMF)> Community Organizer, Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home>

Hello! Portuguese Wikipedia will be contacted next week about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_Review_Improvements/Filters_for_Special…, so a translation of that help page would be helpful and appreciated! :) If some terms for that project are not familiar to you, a Glossary has been created: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Edit_Review_Improvements/Glossary That page is waiting for translations too. If you are not from the pt.wp community but you think that project may interest your community, please contact me if you want to have more information about it. And, of course, you can translate the pages! :) Thanks a lot in advance! Benoît -- Benoît Evellin (Trizek) Community Liaison Wikimedia Foundation

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Positions open for strategy coordinator contractors.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Maggie Dennis <mdennis(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 11:01 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Positions open for strategy coordinator contractors. To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, all. :) As you know, we are launching a movement strategy process and want people from the community integrally involved at every stage. We are accordingly seeking active Wikimedians interested in applying for a number of Community Strategy Coordinator positions. The people hired for these positions will be part-time, remote contractors of up to 20 hours a week with a contract of 3 months. Start date should be in early March. You can see the job descriptions and apply for the positions at < https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Work_with_us>, but here’s a quick summary of who we’re looking for and what they’ll be doing: *Language Specialist Strategy Coordinators* These will be bilingual speakers of a specific list of non-English languages[1] and English who are experienced in their language project community or communities. They will be expected to be able to both conduct deep outreach to these non-English communities and to liaise between these communities and others, in order to maximize the ability of their communities to participate in the movement strategy process. They will also need to be capable of monitoring and summarizing discussions about strategy topics and will be expected to produce a summary report at the end of their contract. *Metawiki Strategy Coordinators* These facilitators need not be multilingual (although it is a plus), but must be fluent in English and must be experienced contributors to one or more Wikimedia communities. They will be working alongside the language specialist coordinators, the global community, the Wikimedia Foundation and the strategy team to facilitate the most inclusive strategy process possible. This will include outreach to global communities, offering their own community experience and advice to those involved in the process, and leading, monitoring, and summarizing strategy-related discussions. They will be expected to produce a summary report at the end of their contract. If you think either of these sounds like you or another community member you know, I encourage you to visit the job application page and review the job descriptions for more details (again, that's at < https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Work_with_us#Wikimedia_Careers>). Please tell us about your experiences as a Wikimedian and why you think you would be a good fit for this role. Our goal is to run the most inclusive strategy process we can, and that means we need experienced community members like you to help!
