To update everyone, I have now sent out messages to Wikipedia (English,
Arabic, Catalan, French, Hindi, Swedish, Ukrainian); Wikisource (Catalan,
English, French); and Wikivoyage (English, French). Thank you everyone for
helping!
*Japanese and Polish* – I am waiting on a very minor change to the
translation. Once it is made I can send the message to Japanese and Polish
Wikipedias.
I would love to see the message translated into more languages, so it is
not too late to translate. As always, I am available if you need me to
clarify anything.
Cheers,
James Hare

Thank you everyone for your translations – we have
seven translations
from English so far. A great start!
I changed one of the words from plural ("questions") to singular
("question") and this seems to have had the effect of invalidating the
translation of that whole paragraph. I am sorry for this – I hope it does
not create too much extra work. The text of the message should otherwise be
stable.
I would like to begin sending out the messages to the wikis on *June 1*.
If a deadline extension will help get translations for certain languages,
please do let me know; otherwise, I will be sending out the translations as
of June 1.

Hello everyone,
I have prepared an announcement for the new Toolhub project. My plan is
to eventually send it out to every Village Pump and every project
equivalent to "Project talk:Tools" according to Wikidata <
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6584911>gt;. Let me know if you think there
are other discussion areas worth reaching out to.
The message of the announcement is <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wi
ki/User:Harej_(WMF)/Messages/Toolhub_announcement>. I will not be making
any further changes, so I would like to invite you all to work on
translating it.
Your help will ensure that we can reach as many people in their preferred
languages as possible, allowing us to in turn build the most inclusive
product possible. The content of the message is not terribly time
sensitive, and I want to avoid sending English messages to non-English
wikis if I can help it, so I am happy to delay sending out the message
to a given wiki if more time will allow for that message to be translated.
Please let me know if any details should be clarified. I don't have a
deadline for sending this out quite yet but I'll let you know once there is
one.
Thank you so much!
