Hello,
Some French-language Wikipedians would like to translate the text of the two images at the bottom of each page: "A Wikimedia project" and "Powered by MediaWiki". To answer them I would like to know: * if it is technically possible; * what people from the Foundation think about it.
Thanks for your answers.

There is no reason why we couldn't do this. All we need to do is have those two images access an actual wiki image, just like the logo in the top-left corner is actually [[Image:Wiki.png]] (correct me if I'm wrong). Granting access to change those images to sysops only is way enough to ensure that any necessary restrictions are met (e.g. the MediaWiki one must mention MediaWiki and must not change the MediaWiki logo).

It'd be changed by the devs, so really no problem. The different translations should be available at a gallery on mediawiki.org. Question: should they be loacally uploaded or on commons?
