some rondom extracts:
We at Wikiproject Medicine are working in collaboration with Translators
Without Borders (TWB). TWB does humanitarian translation for other NGOs.
The project is described more fully here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas…
And progress can be seen here

If other Wikipedians wish to help I would love that.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Creating content in Dari
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
So currently we are translating content into 37 languages. The main help we
need is that from Wikipedians to add the content once it is translated into
their own languages. Much of the time no content exists however some of the
time the new content needs to be integrated with the existing content. If
people are interested please sign up here with your language abilities

We are having a webinar on this topic Oct 23rd for any interested more
details will be available soon.
