On Yahoo! annoncement it was enough for us to leave each translators
"please give a look to WMF home, and translate it, please" beforehand
or after it was released, and as you know, announcement became
available in over five languages within 20 minutes.

But we were fortunate and helped by many chances. If I was into
wikibreak before reading you message, or some of translators would
have not noticed our messages and so on ...
