Hoi,<br>After a long time of development, the software that brings much improved usability is scheduled to go live around the end of April, the beginning of May. This will mark a big change in the MediaWiki software. I expect that as a consequence the composition of the &quot;most used&quot; messages will change. This means that for those languages that have not localised the messages associated with the usability initiative the quality of the user experience will suffer. <br>
<br>While the benefits of the new software are obvious, it means that many people will need to adjust to the new software. For people who speak English it will be relatively easy but it is realistic that the people who do not speak English will suffer.<br>
<br>It is for this reason that I urge everyone on behalf of the teams of both the usability initiative and <a href="http://translatewiki.net">translatewiki.net</a> to help us in a drive to have at least 100 languages completely ready by the time of my birthday .. May 7. I love surprises so I would not mind if I get more then I ask for :)<br>
<br>When you finish the usability localisation for your language please let us know.. ping, mail, tweet.. We need the stimulus of your success.<br>Thanks,<br>    GerardM<br><br><a href="http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=ext-ui-0-all">http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=ext-ui-0-all</a><br>
