(apologies for responding in english)Hi Nathan,Unfortunately we only publish the newsletter in English. In the past, volunteers from various language communities used to translate the content into their languages but I am unsure if this practice is still ongoing. You might want to inquire within your local community or, if you're interested, you could volunteer to translate the newsletter yourself :)On Tue, Aug 29, 2023 at 12:32 AM Nathan Assi <nathanassi32@gmail.com> wrote:Merci pour le message.Cependant serait-ce possible pour nous les francophones d'avoir les messages en francais ?_______________________________________________Le lun. 28 août 2023 à 15:01, Mohammed Sadat Abdulai <mohammed.abdulai@wikimedia.de> a écrit :Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week._______________________________________________Discussions

Events

- Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour August 28, 2023. We will cover adding the articles from our bibliography of diverse LIS resources that we created in our last session to Wikidata! We will learn how to use Zotero, the reference management software, and its browser plugin to automatically extract metadata for articles and convert them to a Wikidata format that can be batch uploaded using QuickStatements. To get a sneak preview of what we will be doing, you can learn more about the Wikidata & Zotero link here: Wikidata:Zotero. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page.
