This is awesome news - we in the Language Engineering team are looking at
extending translate this year for content translation! So lots of room for
collaboration.
Congratulations again to the WM.DE team.
Best,
Alolita

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to let you know that Yandex, an internet company from
Russia, made a donation of 150000 Euro to Wikimedia Deutschland for
further development of the core of Wikidata. It's great to see more
companies stepping up in not only using Wikidata but actively
supporting its development.
The official press release is at
https://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/**Pressemitteilungen/PM_06_13_**
Wikidata_Yandex<https://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Pressemitteilungen/PM_06_13_Wikidata_Yandex>
Wow! I hope in the future they're also interested in collaborating on an
open source translation memory project: we already use their machine
translation service in Translate (enabled on
translatewiki.net but not
Wikimedia projects).
Nemo
