Hi, now it's confirmed and ready for distribution:
Next week we are going to focus on testing VisualEditor in conjunction
with non-Latin scripts: العربية, Ελληνικά, 한국어, हिन्दी, עברית , 日本
語, Русский, 中文 and more.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-Latin_Characters_In…
The testing will be done at the English Wikipedia (primarily in User
pages), where VisualEditor can be enabled. Any editor can contribute,
regardless of testing / technical experience and even knowledge of
languages in those scripts. For instance, copying texts from
http://ru.wikipedia.org/ or
http://ja.wikipedia.org/ and playing with
them in your User page is also a good starting point.
Of course we welcome the participation of editors from projects based on
non-Latin scripts. Your help as ambassadors connecting with your
communities is especially needed! A main incentive is that good testing
coverage of VisualEditor in a specific script plus good community
involvement might lead to its inclusion in the related Wikipedia(s) for
broader testing.
If you have any questions or feedback please comment at
Talk:VisualEditor/Testing Non-Latin Characters Input and Behavior or
send me an email. Thank you!
