This is great, thank you! I have tried to understand how to translate it, but I can only get the links for existing translations, not new ones. Is it possible to translate it for other languages? Or we need some kind of permission?

Hi, Galder.
The platform still requires some manual configuration for creating a translated version of a course, so for now there is the slight inconvenience of having to explicitly express interest in translating a particular course into a particular language, and the Community Development team can easily create it.
I have now gone ahead and created a clone of the OpenRefine for Commons course to be translated into Basque https://studio.learn.wiki/meta_translations/discover_courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_eu. Enjoy!
