Hello,
Wikimedia Foundation’s Language team is currently working on the second
version of Content Translation - the popular tool that helps you create new
Wikipedia articles by translating from another article. More than 300000
articles have been translated
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/04/23/content-translation-whats-next/>
using this tool already. To give a preview of what to expect in the
improved version of the tool, we would like to invite you for an online
office hour session scheduled for Wednesday, July 4th, 2018 at 13:00 UTC.
This will be a showcase and open session to talk about upcoming changes to
Content Translation and ongoing development. You can know more about
Content Translation on the project page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation> or you can even watch
a short video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3btQ5fpn4sA>. To track
progress of the new version you can periodically check the updates page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/V2>.
This session is going to be an online discussion over Google
Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. The Youtube
streaming link <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJxOy6quUpQ> will allow you
to both follow the event live and check the recorded session later.
However, due to the limitation of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of
participation slots are available for participating in the discussion.
Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to join in the
Hangout. The IRC channel will however be open for interactions during the
session.
Please read below for the event details, including local time, youtube
session link and do let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Runa

Hello,
Wikimedia Foundation’s Language team would like to invite you for an online
office hour session scheduled for Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 at 13:00 UTC.
This will be an open session to talk about our work, and in particular the
changes to interlanguage links, which were recently rolled-out on the
English Wikipedia.
The new option shows a list of up to 9 languages instead of a long list
that can have more than 200 items, and a panel with all the links that can
be looked up in any language using a search box. The purpose of this
feature is to make articles in all languages easier to find. We recently
published a blog post about this feature and the thoughts behind the
development:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/08/compact-language-links-launch.
This session is going to be an online discussion over Google
Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the

are available. Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to
join in the Hangout. The IRC channel will be open for interactions during

Hello there! I am working on localizing numerical values in some Wikimedia
applications (XTools[0], namely). I've been using
PHP's NumberFormatter[1] and it works great for some languages like Arabic
and Persian.
However Kurdish, specifically ckb (as in ckb.wikipedia.org[2]), is
apparently missing from this PHP library. I've searched the whole internet
over, and can't figure out how I am meant to install it. Evidently it boils
down to what languages are installed on your machine, which I think under a
Unix-like system is "locale -a". Indeed I don't see ckb or any of the other
Kurdish variants like ku, kur, kmr, and sdh. The same is true when I run
this command on Toolfroge/VPS, where my tools are hosted.
Knowing that Kurdish Wikipedia[2] is a thing, and that MediaWiki is built
in PHP, I was hoping someone here would know what needs to be done to
support Kurdish in my application? I have all the Kurdish message
translations, via translatewiki, I just need to localize the numerical
values using the standard PHP NumberFormatter.

To everyone in Mediawiki i18n group:
I've found that the translation of download of Mediawiki in Hokkien (Min
Nan) is transcribed from English phonetically as "táuⁿ-ló͘" (see the
link:
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearchTranslations&query=…).
However, few people use that word. Many people in Taiwan speak it as
"táng-ló͘" or use the**calque "hā-chài" **(下載) (ref.
https://itaigi.tw/k/%E4%B8%8B%E8%BC%89). Therefore, I suggested that the
word "táuⁿ-ló͘" should be replaced with "táng-ló͘" or "hā-chài".
