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/…>
.
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*
