This is awesome news - we in the Language Engineering team are looking at extending translate this year for content translation! So lots of room for collaboration.

Congratulations again to the WM.DE team.

Best,

Alolita

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to let you know that Yandex, an internet company from
Russia, made a donation of 150000 Euro to Wikimedia Deutschland for
further development of the core of Wikidata. It's great to see more
companies stepping up in not only using Wikidata but actively
supporting its development.
The official press release is at

Wow! I hope in the future they're also interested in collaborating on an open source translation memory project: we already use their machine translation service in Translate (enabled on translatewiki.net but not Wikimedia projects).
