View source for Submissions:2023/translatewiki: Software localization workshop, all languages welcome

{{WCNA 2023 Session Submission
|theme=Languages, Technology
|type=Workshop
|abstract=Wikimedia projects run a software platform called MediaWiki. Like all software, it has a user interface, which should be translated to as many languages as possible. It's especially true for projects with worldwide goals, as Wikimedia projects are. For MediaWiki, this is done on a website called translatewiki.net. This workshop will show how translatewiki works, and how can everyone who cares about Wikimedia projects contribute their language knowledge. Speakers of all languages are welcome: English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Creole languages, Native American languages, and all others.
