Hey everyone,
apologies for the cross-posting, we're just too excited:
we're looking for a new member for our team [0], who'll dive right away in
the promising Structured Data project. [1]
Is our future colleague hiding among the tech ambassadors, translators,
GLAM people, community members we usually work with? We look forward to
finding out soon.
So please, check the full job description [2], apply, or tell/recommend
anyone who you think may be a good fit. For any questions, please contact
me personally (not here).
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Some of you may already be aware that the fight against harassment is one
of the Wikimedia Foundation’s priorities. As part of our coordinated
efforts on this front, the Foundation's Support & Safety team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Support_and_Safety>[0] has been working
collaboratively with the Wikimedia communities for several months now on
better training materials for contributors who work on harassment issues.
To this end, the team has created training modules
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training_modules>.[1] These contain
training materials aimed at helping contributors deal with online
harassment situations, and with problems at real life events.
In order for those training modules to be easily accessible to as many
editors as possible in the entire Wikimedia movement we need your help in
translating them into as many languages as we can.
We have finished the final English content of the first two modules and it
is now ready for translation. We are targeting a minimum of ten languages
for these modules, including the English original. So, we need some
translation help from English into at least nine languages.
For a faster and more collaborative effort on this, all the of translation
work will be taking place on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training_modules/Translation>.[2] If you
have enough time for this, we'd love help.
There is a lot of work to do here (something like 600 messages) - so you
absolutely don’t have to carry all the burden of the translation alone. Any
little bit you can do will help immensely. The content is split into a
bunch of Aggregate Groups so you can focus on whichever interests you. Feel
free to invite your fellow Wikimedians to this effort!
We look forward to seeing you on those meta pages and helping keep our
communities safe.
Thank you all in advance :) Please email me if you have any concerns or
issues.
best,
Joe

Hello all,
next week Wednesday RevisionSlider is planned to leave the beta feature
status and become a default feature on almost all wikis. [1]
The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can
easily move between revisions without having to leave the diff page. [2]
It has already been a default feature on Arabic, German and Hebrew
Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. We'd
love to announce the rollout on various village pumps and therefore are
looking for translations!
You can find the short message here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Birgit_M%C3%BCller_(WMDE)/RevisionSlid…
It would be great if anyone finds time to translate the message before
Tuesday May 16, 11 am UTC!
Thank you very much for your help!
Birgit

Hey everyone,
Soon, you'll get a notification when someone tries to access your account
but fails to do so. While this is a pretty important security issue, as it
will tell you if someone is trying to gain access to your account, this
will probably confuse – and scare – some users. It would be helpful if we
could have this help page available in languages they will understand:

Thank you!
