Hello everyone!
We're excited to announce that the next Language Community Meeting is
happening soon - on August 29th 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. For example, in our upcoming meeting, we plan
to hear from the Avro keyboard developers from Wikimedia Bangladesh, who
were recently awarded a national award for their contributions to this
keyboard.
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

Internationalization Newsletter (July 2025)

quarter on new feature development, improvements in various
