Hello fellow Indian Wikimedians. I am writing to you to announce that the translatewiki.net December 2009 translation rally is about to start. If you make 500 or more new translations before the end of the year (31 December 2009 24:00 UTC), you can share in the 1,000 Euro bounty. I have high hopes that many users speaking languages from India will be able to donate a few hours of their time translating into languages spoken in India. Details are at http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:Rally-2009-12. We are especially looking for translators in the following languages, but translations in all languages are very welcome: * Oriya * Sindhi * Punjabi * Gujarati * Kannada * Tamil * Nepali * Marathi * Hindi * Bengali See http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:MediaWiki_localisation_in_the_50_most… for current localization details on the 50 largest spoken languages, of which many are from India/Asia. Asian languages score below average on localization level, and improving this is a gift we can give the Wikimedia Foundation for "free"! Many thanks for your help. Especially for Wikimedia India we can make it possible to have supporters donate their cut of the bounty to Wikimedia India if that is something that will help your chapter! I would appreciate an 'official' contacting me in that case. Cheers! Siebrand Mazeland Translatewiki.net staff
