Hi everybody,
I am [[meta:user:Walter]], the one that is making the newsletter Wikizine about the Wikimedia Foundation projects. My newsletter is in English. Some time ago people have volunteered to start making translations of Wikizine.
Currently there is besides English also Deutsch, Español and Indonesia. The people making the Español seems to have lost interest and this version will be suspended soon if there are no takers to take it over.
Deutsch and Indonesia have only one person to work on it. The person working on the German version is not able to provide translations of all editions because of real live work but is definitely not giving up.
The person making the Indonesia edition seems to mange to do it alone for now.
If there would be people interested to help out with an language edition of Wikizine then that would be very useful.
Especially for the German edition. That would be the least work because the bulk of the work will be done by Mbimmler who does the DE Wikizine version. It would be helping out when Mbimmler is to busy.
For ES WIkizine there seems be nobody left so that would be more work. I prefer to have fewer languages that can operate good instead of more unrealible languages services.
This mailing list is for Wikimedia Foundation translation matters, Wikizine is about Wikimedia Foundation matters but is not a WMF project. This posting is more a FYI, maybe there are here people who have fun in translating and are interested. If so then there work would be very welcome.
But the primary responsibility for people to help out are the respective languages communities who until now do not show any interest.
Greetings, Walter Vermeir

I think for now it is best to work on the Spanish version. At least for Spanish there is now hope that you will not have to do it alone.
Currently there is no Portuguese edition. That could be created. But then you will be alone to do it. Helping with ES Wikizine is, at least for now, better I think.
I will send you off list an email to continue about this.
