This will help make the Wikimedia Grants program, and the opportunities it offers, more accessible to our colleagues around the world. Beside Dutch (thanks, Siebrand! :)) and Hebrew, no other language is fully translated yet, and most are not begun yet. You and your contacts who are native speakers of other languages can really help us make the Grants program more universally accessible. Please consider helping out, or reaching out to someone who can. Thanks, Asaf [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index - use the "Translate this page" link to begin :) On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 10:58 AM, Asaf Bartov &lt;abartov(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: > Dear translators, > After Siebrand had given me a demonstration of the fantastic new Translate making > the Wikimedia Grants program more accessible to our colleagues around the > world. > I therefore ask for your help in translating > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index into as many languages as > possible, to ensure those seeking funding can find useful information in > their own language. > I have tried to make that page as concise and as clear as possible, though > there is a somewhat unavoidable level of detail required because people > actually need all this information to submit grant proposals. > Nevertheless, if, during translation, you encounter something that's > unclear, contradictory, or just weird, please don't hesitate to call it > out, on this thread, on the talk page, or privately to me. > Thanks in advance for your help!
