When a good consistent localisation for all our

priority, we would make the incubator the wiki where all the effort of

and the updated messages can be distributed from there to all the wikis
for all the projects. It will also ensure that all languages are part of
the MediaWiki releases, making MediaWiki even more relevant than it is
at the moment.
You are talking about the interface, correct? I think RB is right that
welcome templates need to be a community effort rather than something
that can be automatically propogated. The message needs to be tweaked
from wiki to wiki, because they are at different stages of
development. A relatively small wiki doesn't usually have an
administrators' noticeboard and six varieties of village pump. And a
Wikipedia welcome will of course be significantly different to a
Wikinotpedia welcome.

Hoi,
You can only address these issues when you communicate in the first
place. With a language not supported in the first place, the people will
be isolated from your attempts at informing them as a result.
