Hi Brianna,

I have translated part of the page to zh, but it's late here in San Francisco and I need some sleep, so I will continue the translation tomorrow.

I just listed myself as a language contact in zh, but it would be good if Tzu-Chiang could also agree to join this. :) And I will forward your message to zh_wikipedia and wikimedia-tw.

Gonna sleep, talk later. ;)

Best regards, Ted

Hello... :)

I need some help... I am hoping maybe you guys can help me a little bit.

Wikimedia Commons will soon (January 10) have the Picture of the Year competition. Any Wikimedia user with 150 edits on any project can vote, to choose which Featured Picture of 2007 is the Picture of the Year.

This time (the 2nd time) we will use some custom software written by a Commons user, hosted on the toolserver. At the moment we are trying to gather translations, so that the greatest number of people can take part. We are still totally missing Chinese translations, so I ask for your help in extending this request to the Chinese Wikimedia community...

the page with info is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2007/Translati ons The main 3 things to be translated are the software messages, the announcements, and the wiki information pages. It is also good if we can have a Chinese "language contact" on the committee, that users who have problems can speak to in Chinese if they need to.

So, if you could forward or translate my request to some channels, I would be very grateful. :) Or perhaps personally "nudge" some people who you know might be interested in this.

thanks! Brianna
