Hi,

As last month, translations are wanted for the new edition of the monthly "Wikimedia Highlights", consisting of the most relevant information from the Foundation's general and technical monthly reports for December, 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,_December_2011

See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation/Introduction for instructions about the Translation extension on Meta, which we are continuing to use for this issue with the help of Siebrand.

For Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Vietnamese, Finnish, German, and Russian, it will be useful to compare the translations done in the last months into these languages, as the "Data and Trends" and "Financials" sections contain a lot of recurring vocabulary.

As in recent months, 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 Tuesday January 17. We may also post them as language-targeted updates of the official Wikipedia Facebook account, which reaches a large audience.

Many thanks!
