Wikimania 2021 in-person event list

I'm sending you this message because you posted on Wikimania 2021/Scholarships saying you plan to host a local Wikimania 2021 event.

I've just created a wiki-page to list all offline / in-person / "physical" Wikimania 2021 events. It would be great if you can add yours to this list:

• wikimania:2021:In-person events

Deryck Chan, thank you, I have already added our offline event. --Mari Avetisyan WMAM (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2021 submission

Dear Mari,

On behalf of the Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2021 programme committee, I am pleased to inform you that your submission "Teaching Wikipedia in Armenia" has been accepted as a discussion, and it was scheduled for 08:15 (UTC) on Saturday, 6 November (see the draft schedule). Considering that the conference will have language interpretation from English into Russian and vice versa, you have the choice between English and Russian as a language that you will use in your session. If you have not yet registered for the conference, please follow the instructions on this page. In case you have any additional requests or questions, do not hesitate to contact me or any other committee member.

Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:17, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Dear Kiril,

Thank you for accepting our submission. We were hoping to have a pre-recorded lecture though we initially mentioned discussion on the Meta-Wiki page. Is it possible for us to do a pre-recorded session as some of the participants will not be available for a live session?

Kindly, --Mari Avetisyan WMAM (talk) 12:08, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Dear Mari, yes, it's even indicated with a symbol below the names of the speakers in your session that it's going to be a pre-recorded session.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:32, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Dear Kiril, thank you for clarification as the session identifiers' table on Meta-Wiki page was a little bit confusing. Also, we would like to know whether there is a deadline for submitting the pre-recorded lectures. --Mari Avetisyan WMAM (talk) 06:24, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

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.
