Abuse. I see two options: not creating an issue at all or creating an issue and translating it as usual. There is no midpoint. The sugested midpoint is another support of the idea that everybody must know English to work normally in WMF projects. People are forced to know English to learn about tech news in the case. I won't stand it and just my being offline for long prevented me to translate the issue in time. I'll make sure that even if Vira won't translate issues there will be Ukrainian translation available in further. There are better and worse ways to defy WMF. This way is not mine.

I'm not sure that all of us, translators, know about odder's call, but I fully agree and will try to reach others on my home wiki.

Hi again,
as a follow-up to my previous e-mail as well as to the e-mail I sent
out on Sunday — and as I wrote to some of you on Meta-Wiki — I
strongly suggest that you consider /not/ translating Tech News this
week in protest against the recent actions of the Foundation.

I have explained my reasoning in detail in my previous e-mail, so I
won't repeat it here: I'll only say that /not/ translating Tech News
this week is a good method of bearing pressure on the Foundation, as
it goes against the goals that they set themselves as an organization.

It might be just a small gesture, but we are seeing similar protests
and strikes from all sides of the Wikimedia community — admins
resigning or going inactive, regular users withdrawing article
namespace contributions, OTRS agents stopping their work.

As the saying goes, little strokes fell greats oaks, so if you
disagree with what the Foundation has done (and keeps doing), please
consider not translating Tech News this week.

Let's all hope that the Foundation reverse their decision so we can
get back to work and make the Wikimedia movement better through
discussion and consensus rather than through the threat and use of
force.

Thank you!
