Hello everyone,
The Global Development Department at the Wikimedia Foundation is running another survey, this time focusing on mobile readers rather than editors. This is another important survey that will help us understand a lot more about the people who use mobile services and how our mobile sites can be improved.
This translation request is a little different than most translation requests. Instead of accepting translations in any language people are willing to translate it to, we will only be accepting translations in a few specific languages. Here is the list of languages: * English (en) * Japanese (ja) * Spanish (es) * German (de) * French (fr) * Russian (ru) * Portuguese (pt) * Turkish (tr) * Arabic (ar) * Chinese (zh)
If your language is on that list, then we would love your help in getting the survey translated. :-)
Like usual, all of the translations pages are on Meta-Wiki: * Workspace: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Mobile_Readers_Survey_2011/Translation * Source: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Mobile_Readers_Survey_2011/Translation/en
The deadline for translations is Wednesday, August 10, 2011.
Thank you all for your help! If you have any questions, feel free to send them to me, this list, or post to the talk page on Meta-Wiki.
Thanks again, Casey

The CentralNotice text is also up on Meta-Wiki now: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Mobile_Readers_Survey_2011/CentralNotice
Why you only accept those languages?

Hi Olin, We decided to have a smaller set of languages since we are limited by the resources that we have available for programming, data cleaning and analysis. We had to make some tough choices to arrive at this list of languages. We were guided by data on mobile page views from stats.wikimedia.org, strategic importance of regions & countries and type of language (character, left to right etc.). We leaned towards languages that we know get a lot of mobile page views, plus the importance of the country in the strategic plan and tried to ensure that we had different types of language in the mix so we can come to know usability issues on phones. Thanks for understanding Mani

For common data like currencies at the end of the survey, it would be useful to use CLDR in the future (or possibly by hand this time).
Terms of Use (Exhibit 1) http://unicode.org/copyright.html have to be checked, but it seems there would be no problem since it ressembles to a CC-BY license.

Merci for the tip, Sébastien ! That's definitely something helpful that we should look into advertising and utilizing in the future.
