Hello all,
For the upload campaign more translations are needed to cover more languages. (I may be not complete.)
Basics: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Upload…
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload_campaign_header_Wiki_Lov…
** Missing languages: da (Danish), hi (Hindi), hu (Hungarian), it (Italian), lb (Luxembourgian), no (Norwegian), pl (Polish), ru (Russian), sr (Serbian), uk (Ukrainian) & perhaps in other languages too!
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload_campaign_header_Wiki_Lov…
** Missing languages: ca (Catalan), da (Danish), hi (Hindi), hu (Hungarian), it (Italian), lb (Luxembourgian), no (Norwegian), pl (Polish), ro (Romanian), ru (Russian), sr (Serbian), uk (Ukrainian) & perhaps in other languages too!
* National header templates which will be shown above the uploadform during the contest. I created many templates, but still there are missing:
** Austria: maybe also in sl (Slovenian), hr (Croatian) and hu (Hungarian)?
** Switzerland: perhaps also in it (Italian)?
** Hungary: hu (Hungarian)!
** India: hi (Hindi)!
** Italy: it (Italian)!
** Kenya: perhaps also in sw (Swahili)?
** Russia: ru (Russian)!
** Serbia: sr (Serbian)!
** Ukraine: uk (Ukrainian)!
** South Africa: af (Afrikaans) and maybe more languages?
For an example see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Upload_campaign_header_wlm-ch/en
Notice the links: Website of the contest ⋅ How to participate
For all participating countries: please check if your website for Wiki Loves Monuments is linked in the header template in each language as second or third row.
----
* Also for each country we need to create a campaign as explained: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Upload…
Not everyone can edit, so please request or ask an editor who can edit for you (like me).
** Missing campaigns of the countries: ar (Argentina), co (Colombia), in (India), it (Italy), ke (Kenya), li (Liechtenstein), mx (Mexico), ph (Philippines), rs (Serbia), ua (Ukraine)
----
If there is help needed with, just let me know! (you can reach me by e-mail / IRC at Freenode: #Wikilovesmonuments / Commons talk page)
Greetings - Romaine

Just my few minutes experience with the WLM Android App, i realized its
much awesome. A little more tweaks and I'm sure the app will be ready to
go this september. I'm running the app from my PC using an Android
Emulator, and its just working perfect.
I have recognized no ERRORS at the moment, just that, the loading gif
image appears static, creating the impression that the app isn't working
or isn't responding during a process.
I'm from Ghana, and we believe this app will encourage much uploads this
september during the WLM as many Ghanaians love using their androids for
sharing photos.
Greetings WLM Developers,
Y?da mo ase! (Akan Language) - We thank you!
Happy WLM 2012 8-)

Is there any deadline for countries to enlist as participating members
in the WLM?
I fear Ghana might not get a spot in this years event looking at the
rate at which contributions are incoming - in fact, NO contributions
