[x-posted announcement]
Hello,
Wikimedia Foundation’s Language team is currently working on the second
version of Content Translation - the popular tool that helps you create new
Wikipedia articles by translating from another article. More than 300000
articles have been translated
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/04/23/content-translation-whats-next/>
using this tool already. To give a preview of what to expect in the
improved version of the tool, we would like to invite you for an online
office hour session scheduled for Wednesday, July 4th, 2018 at 13:00 UTC.
This will be a showcase and open session to talk about upcoming changes to
Content Translation and ongoing development. You can know more about
Content Translation on the project page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation> or you can even watch
a short video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3btQ5fpn4sA>. To track
progress of the new version you can periodically check the updates page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/V2>.
This session is going to be an online discussion over Google
Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. The Youtube
streaming link <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJxOy6quUpQ> will allow you
to both follow the event live and check the recorded session later.
However, due to the limitation of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of
participation slots are available for participating in the discussion.
Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to join in the
Hangout. The IRC channel will however be open for interactions during the
session.
Please read below for the event details, including local time, youtube
session link and do let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Runa
