Hello

The elections for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation are now  
open. In order to accommodate all projects, every effort will be made to  
translate the election notice into all of the languages used by the Foundation.  
As such, we are asking that everyone pitch in to ensure that the Election  
regulations are translated before candidates issue their statements. Please see
