== New request == The board recently made a statement[1] about articles on the subject of living people. Community members have requested that this page be translatable, since it applies to many different communities and a variety of languages. You can translate it on Meta-Wiki.[2] == Reminders about open requests == * the Licensing update ending soon, please finish up those translations[3] * Wikimania 2009 has pages to translate[4] * the privacy policy[5] was recently updated but was not widely translated. We will be pushing a wide update in the coming weeks, but you can get a head-start if you have time.[6] == Links == [1]http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Biographies_of_living_peop… [2]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Resolution:Biogra… [3]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LU/T [4]http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/T [5]http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy [6]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.

Call for translations: MediaWiki preferences system rewritten

by Siebrand Mazeland

Dear translators, MediaWiki administrators, Today Andrew has committed a rewrite of the MediaWiki preferences system that will be part of MediaWiki 1.15. In it 19 messages were introduced or changed that need to be translated or updated in every supported language. Of course translatewiki.net can be used to take a first peek at the new functionality. Please join the MediaWiki localisation projects at http://translatewiki.net and keep your language's localisation updated. Thank you for your efforts! Siebrand Mazeland translatewiki.net staff

Continuing translation

by Andrew Leung

I have noticed that the rate of translation has dropped significantly since the launch. However, there is still a lot of pages missing, in addition to the "new" Oppositional Arguments page. Other pages that need significant translation in multiple languages include Timeline (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Timeline), Committee (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Committee), and Vote-specs (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Vote-specs). So please continue translating. One final thing, don't forget to change the Sidebar (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Sidebar) or Header tracker (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Header_tracking) status from "published" back to "ready" if you made updates to it. Otherwise, we will never know that templates have been updated since it'll take a considerable amount of time to go through every single template and check to see if updates have been made. Thanks, Andrew "Fill the world with children who care and things start looking up." _________________________________________________________________ Reinvent how you stay in touch with the new Windows Live Messenger. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9650731

Important note re: Licensing QA

by Erik Moeller

Because the Licensing update Q&A translations started quite a while ago, some of them are a bit dated. This is especially problematic for the section dealing with attribution, which was substantially revised on March 18, 2009. If you created a translation before then, please make sure that this section is up to date. The relevant diff is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Licensing_update/Questions_and_… This is the most critical change. The diff of all changes since then is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Licensing_update/Questions_and_… I consider this an appropriate and necessary update even though the vote has started already; the [[licensing update]] page itself should not be affected as we started translations when this question was already resolved. Thanks, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

Licensing update about to launch

by Robert Rohde

The licensing update [1] is expected to launch at 12:00 UTC April 12th (about 17 hours from now). If anyone wants to add some last minute translations [2], they will certainly be appreciated. Also, because we delayed from April 9th, the end date for the vote moved from April 30th to May 3rd, so the text of the CentralNotices needs to be tweaked accordingly [3]. Thank you for your help. -Robert Rohde [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Translation [3] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/CentralNotice

Licensing update, final texts

by Anonymous Dissident

Hello, While most of our translations for the licensing update are complete, a few more lines of text for the voting software is yet to be translated: the "header" text, and the text providing a link to the site (the "jump" text). If we could get translations on that happening, it'd be hugely appreciated. The page is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Header_and_jump_text Thanks to everyone, Josh (User:Anonymous Dissident)

by Casey Brown

The licensing comparison page[1] has been finalized, which means that now all of the pages are available for translation.[2] :-) As you can see on the update timeline[3], we hope to have the translations finalized by April 7. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you guys have put into this so far, we're almost done! :-) [1]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/License_comparison [2]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Translation [3]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Timeline -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.

Fwd: [Licom-l] Launch: still 2 April?

by Casey Brown

Looks like we have more time. :-) -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 11:29 AM Subject: Re: [Licom-l] Launch: still 2 April? To: Wikimedia licensing update committee <licom-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Brion <bvibber(a)wikimedia.org>, Tim Starling <tstarling(a)wikimedia.org> So, as per my earlier email, I am moving the launch date to both allow for some more translations, and thorough testing of the voting software. To have enough buffer due to staff travel, I am suggesting April 9. This will push the other milestones by a week as well. Unless someone beats me to it, I will update the meta pages later tonight.

by Casey Brown

Okay, a few more pages are now available for translation.[1] "Vote-specs", "Timeline", and another part of the interface are now ready and could really use your translation skills. :-) The first part of the vote interface has around 35 translations already, great job! If you have any questions about any of the other pages, please feel free to respond to this message or contact us in another way[2].
