Hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some updates regarding the Language & Internationalization newsletter, the upcoming community meeting, and the Language Support track at Wikimania.
This newsletter provides updates from the April–June 2024 quarter on new feature development, improvements in various language-related technical projects and support efforts, details about community meetings, and contribution ideas for getting involved in projects.
This participant-driven meeting will focus on sharing language-specific updates related to various projects, discussing technical issues related to language wikis, and working together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, topics included the Language Converter, the state of language research, updates on the Incubator conversations, and technical challenges around external links not working with special characters on Bengali sites.
Attending the Wikimania Hackathon in person next week? There will be a dedicated Language Support track focusing on addressing small, language-specific technical requests across various Wikimedia projects to support new and existing language communities. Join us to collaborate with interested volunteers on technical tasks, organize technical sessions, and run a support help desk. There will also be a session for remote attendees on using Translatewiki.net for translating Wikimedia interface messages! <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Program/Hackathon#Language_Support>
