28th 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 for sharing updates on
language-related projects, discussing technical challenges in language
wikis, and collaborating on solutions. In the upcoming meeting, we’ll hear
from Owobusingye <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Owobusingye> about
efforts to develop the Runyankore Wikipedia, a language spoken by over 3
million people in southwestern Uganda whose Wikipedia recently graduated
from the Incubator. We’ll also hear from DaSupremo
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DaSupremo> about the localization of
Wikimedia features for Ghanaian language Wikipedias.
Got a topic to share? Whether it’s a technical update from your project, a
challenge you need help with we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reply
to this message or add agenda items to the document here

2026 quarter, including new feature development, improvements across
