Hi,
as every month, translations are wanted for the new edition of the "Wikimedia Highlights", consisting of the most relevant information from the Foundation's general and technical monthly reports for April, with a short selection of other important news from the Wikimedia movement. Please consider helping non-English-language Wikimedia communities to stay updated on the most important WMF activities, MediaWiki development work and other international news from the past month, by providing a translation at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_April_2012
For Danish, German, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian (Bokmål), Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Finnish, Russian, Hungarian and Macedonian, it is useful to compare the earlier translations (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights#Previous_issues ), as the "Data and Trends" and "Financials" sections contain a lot of recurring vocabulary.
As usual, it is planned to announce the translations (i.e.those which have been completed at that point) on the general Wikimedia announcements list Wikimediaannounce-l, on Wednesday, May 16. (On the suggestion of some, trying out a longer timespan of seven days this time - it's of course always a balance between giving translators enough time and getting the translated versions to readers not too long after the end of the month.)
We are also posting them as language- and country-targeted updates of the official Wikipedia Facebook account, which reaches a large audience, and will experiment with promoting them on other social media channels as well.
Many thanks!
