Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce that the next Language Community Meeting is
happening soon on May 29th at 15:00 UTC! If you would 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 the upcoming meeting, we will hear
presentations on topics such as building a living dictionary for Dagbani
and the Starter Kit Dashboard MVP.
Got a topic to share? Whether it is a technical update from your project, a
challenge you need help with, or a request for interpretation support, we
would 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-2026>.
Also, a quick update - Wikimedia Foundation renewed its Associate
membership with the Unicode Consortium earlier this year for another year.
As part of this membership, a coordination group has been set up to help
bridge community needs with the Consortium. If you have come across any
language or script related issues in your work on Wikimedia projects that
could benefit from Unicode’s involvement, it would be great to hear about
them. You can learn more about ongoing topic explorations here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_membership_with_Unicode_Consortium#Unico…>.
Feel free to share thoughts on this talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:WMF_membership_with_Unicode_Consortium> or
reach out directly.
Also, feel free to translate this message into your local language and
share it on your village pump or other community channels to help spread
the word.
We look forward to your ideas and participation at the Language Community
Meeting. See you there!
Cheers,
Srishti
