VisualEditor testing in non-Latin scripts - Wikitech-ambassadors

24 Jan 2013

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!
