Dear Community Members,

We are once again pleased to share a great update on Wikimania 2021
regarding language support. With the new changes, speakers will not need to
provide an English transcription for their pre-recorded sessions if they
would not be in English as we had communicated in our previously announced
language approach
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/05/21/making-wikimania-2021-inclusive-and-accessible-our-language-and-timezone-approach/>
.

Please Read More about our revised language Approach HERE
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/06/29/wikimania-2021-update-to-our-language-approach/>
.

We are grateful to everyone that joined our COT office Hours and shared
ideas that informed this new language Approach.

Best Wishes,

Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

Dear Amanda,

Thank you for this quick and holistic response. I am sure that settles the matter and helps the movement to avoid future misunderstandings like these.

The real victim here is Maria, of course. She has invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and knowledge into steering the WMF Board for many, many years. She has contributed so much to our movement as a volunteer - she does not deserve this stain on her reputation. And I sincerely hope that people within the WMF have apologized to Maria for bringing her into this impossible situation.

Cheers,

Pavel
