Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki

Greetings!

The Language and Product Localization team has developed a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages.

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.

We invite you to watch our demo video and read more about translatable modules to understand how it works. Please give us your feedback on this talk page on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to Module:User Wikimedia project, which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach.

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

GLAM Wiki 2025 & GRDC

Hi Jamie, It was great chatting to you today about how the concerns you raised in your session intersect with a potential GRDC strategy. There's further detail on the GRDC [[1]]. We talked in the corridor about what kind of infrastructure support might be required, bearing in my the theme of your session, and what advocating for that might look like for the GRDC. Please add your thoughts to the talk page, or feel free to message me privately if you'd prefer. Best wishes Lajmmoore (talk) 18:06, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
