WIKIMOVE
[edit]Thank you for listening to WIKIMOVE
[edit]As we wrap up the WIKIMOVE podcast, we want to take a moment to thank all our listeners for helping make it such a meaningful experience. Over nearly two years and two exciting seasons, we had the privilege of inviting inspiring voices from across the Wikimedia Movement and to learn about exciting and innovative initiatives. You can check out our website to listen to the episodes you may have missed.
At this time, we have decided not to continue with new WIKIMOVE episodes and instead to explore other ways to engage with our Movement Strategy. As a final wrap-up, we are pleased to share an evaluation of WIKIMOVE’s reach and reception with you. Feel free to reach out and stay in touch. Eva Martin (WMDE) (talk) 11:33, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki
[edit]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.
