Hi all,
how are you? I'd like to know about the possibility of solving an old
issue with CAPTCHA for Wikipedias in languages other than English.
This bug
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5309
was created in 2006. There is a discussion here about having CAPTCHA
in other languages from February 2012
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/51951/
but it seems there was no conclusion. After working on campus with new
editors in Brazil, I've checked this is a real obstacle, since most
people here cannot ready English at all.
I'd like to know if there are plans to solve this issue - I hope I
don't sound rude, maybe this can be a minor issue when we don't see
the difficulties people from a different place can face. I think this
is important for Wikipedias other than the English one (just read
people comments in the bug) and we can be loosing new contributors
because of their first impressions. Thanks,
Tom
