I have some doubts about the English_Wikipedia_tags_all_link.... My point is if the request is to translated the linked press release (and in this case the title should be kept in similar form with the translation of English, referring to the English Wikipedia in the title and in the body text - just translating English in the equivalent for that language, but in this way I would not respect what it is asked in the beginning note)
or if instead the request is to create a new press releases for each language with every press release speaking in its own language about the wikipedia of its own language (so a press release in French about French Wikipedia, a press release in Italian about Italian Wikipedia, etc.) (in this case of course it is easier for a writer/translator can use the English version to create the new one, instead of doing it from scratch)
My point is not only about the fact that in the second case it is not formally a translation, but that it is politically a different thing. Who should I named instead of XXX in my translation, for example? Would it more correct to ask these persons about this request and ask them to ask for translators' help?
And is the press release made from the Foundation for all the language and for all the project or is it that every single project is going to issue it own press release?
From when single project has the power to issue press release? WHere
the translation would be published on every projects or on the Wikimedia Foundation project? In the latter case I think it would more convenient a press release about all project and all language..
And about "all project": why only wikipedia is cited? I can understand it is the most famous project (and hence the most targeted by spam), but it would be nicer if the world Wikipedia is replaced by "Wikipedia and its sister projects (Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikinews, and Wikimedia Commons)"
Of course a shorter for can be use in title and when needed. And of course the list can be completed by Wikiversity, Wikijunior, and Wikispecies (by the way the last one is not listed on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Complete_list_of_Wikimedia_projects )
