Hello again translators, here's another quick and easy translation request related to a CentralNotice campaign for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012.
We are planning to have a banner asking people to take part in the contest after we break our previous record of about 168,000 images uploaded as part of WLM (around September 16-20); hence, the phrase is English is: "Participate in the world's largest photo competition, and help improve Wikipedia!".
We are currently missing translations in the following languages (19 in total): * Afrikaans; * Breton; * Danish; * Lower Sorbian; * Galician; * Hebrew; * Hindi; * Upper Sorbian; * Luxembourgish; * Malayalam; * Norwegian (Bokmål); * Norwegian (Nynorsk); * Northen Sotho (Sepedi); * Russian; * Silesian; * Swahili; * Tagalog; * Telugu; * Tswana (Setswana).
If you're able to help and translate this single sentence into your language, or maybe even poke some people who are able to do that, I'll appreciate all help. Like with the previous WLM request I sent to this list, we are gathering translations at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/CentralNotice#Record_banner.
I know that MediaWiki is not the best tool to use for translating a message, but there's currently no better way to do that; Commons does not use the Translate extension yet, and I'll need to move those translations to Meta (the admin-only MediaWiki namespace) anyway.
Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Hello Tomasz,
I translated the banner text into Lower Sorbian (dsb) and Upper Sorbian (hsb).

Hi Michael, thanks for translating the message into the two Sorbian languages, it's very much appreciated! (And apologies for such a late reply, I had to check the archives manually as I do not read that list very often.)
As we are approaching the deadline of 168,000 images uploaded in WLM very fast (115k now, and I can swear black and blue it was 114k an hour ago!), I would like to ask you once again to spend a minute of your life and translate a single sentence for our CentralNotice banners.
The English slogan is: "Participate in the world's largest photo competition and help improve Wikipedia!", and we are still missing its translations into the following languages (13 in total):
* Afrikaans; * Breton; * Galician; * Luxembourgish; * Malayalam; * Norwegian (Bokmål); * Norwegian (Nynorsk); * Northen Sotho (Sepedi); * Russian; * Silesian; * Swahili;' * Telugu; * Tswana (Setswana).
If you happen to know one of these languages, or know somebody who does, and would like to help out, please translate the slogan at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/CentralNotice#Record_banner.
All help is greatly appreciated -- and I would like to thank in advance for your time and your involvement in making world's largest photo competition happen.
