*My apologies for writing in English. Please help translate to your language.*

Hello everyone!

We're excited to announce that the next *Language Community Meeting* is happening soon, *May 30th at 15:00 UTC*! If you’d like to join, simply *sign up on the wiki page* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Language_and_Product_Localization/Community_meetings#30_May_2025 .

This is a participant-driven meeting where we share updates on language-related projects, discuss technical challenges in language wikis, and collaborate on solutions. In our upcoming meeting, we plan to cover results from a recent language onboarding experiment and hear experiences from a Nigerian contributor who contributes to the Obolo wiki, which was part of this experiment.

*Got a topic to share?* Whether it’s a technical update from your project, a challenge you need help with, or a request for interpretation support, we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reply to this message or add agenda items to *the document here* https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/language-community-meeting-may-2025.

Also, we wanted to highlight that the 7th edition of the *Language & Internationalization newsletter (April 2025)* is available here: *Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter/2025/April* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Language_and_Product_Localization/Newsletter/2025/April. This newsletter provides updates from the January–March 2025 quarter on new feature development, improvements in various language-related technical projects and support efforts, details about community meetings, and ideas for contributing to projects. To stay updated, you can subscribe to the newsletter on its wiki page: *Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Language_and_Internationalization_Newsletter .

Would you be interested in contributing to the technical workaround language development? There is a newcomer-friendly core namespace-related task waiting for your contribution: *T391725* https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391725.

We look forward to your ideas and participation at the Language Community Meeting, see you there!

Sadik.
