Hello!

Sorry for cross posting.

Translators needed to translate the May 2012 Wikimedia highlights. It is also a nice chance to know the status and progress of the foundation plus how the media wiki translation extensionhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translateworks.

In case you encounter any difficulties feel free to contact me.

Hi,

as every month, translations are wanted for the new edition of the "Wikimedia Highlights", consisting of the most relevant information from the Foundation's general and technical monthly reports for April, with a short selection of other important news from the Wikimedia movement. Please consider helping non-English-language Wikimedia communities to stay updated on the most important WMF activities, MediaWiki development work and other international news from the past month, by providing a translation at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_May_2012

For Danish, German, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian (Bokmål), Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Finnish, Russian, Hungarian, Macedonian, Tamil and Turkish, it is useful to compare the earlier translations ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights#Previous_issues ), as the "Data and Trends" and "Financials" sections contain a lot of recurring vocabulary.

As usual, it is planned to announce the translations - i.e.those which have been completed at that point - on the general Wikimedia announcements list Wikimediaannounce-l, on Wednesday, June 20. Of course translations will still be welcome after that announcement.

We are also posting the translated versions as language- and country-targeted updates of the official Wikipedia Facebook account, which reaches a large audience, and recently started promoting them on other social media channels as well (e.g. https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/201975842472067072 ).

Many thanks!

Regards, Stephen.
