Hello Fellow Translators,I have a bit of urgent
translation request. Maybe all
of you know that English Wikipedia is going to do a blackout in less than 17
hours to protest SOPA and PIPA. WMF Executive Director Sue Gardner has already
written a letter to the community about this. Since it will be visible to all
(not English speakers are the only readers of English Wikipedia), so we need
your quick help with translating that letter. It's not that small, but worth a
try if you want to let your people know in your language! :)For translation,
see the Meta-Wiki translation request page:

feel free to forward this e-mail to any other list if you find that will be
useful.Thank you very much in advance for your quick response!Regards,Tanvir

So does the text actually appear anywhere? From the request, I would have
expected the letter to appear on the blackout page, or at least to be linked
from the blackout page. Instead, as far as I can see the page has an
English-only message linking to an English-only Wikipedia page, which in turn
links to an English-only WMF blog post (which seems to be the same, save the
last few sentences, as the translation request), some more English-only
Wikipedia pages and an English-only WMF press release.
