Join the Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub – February 28, 2026 | 13:00 – 14:30 UTC
The Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub (LDH) is pleased to invite you to an engaging online session focused on Translating Your Home Wiki Interface.
The Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub (LDH) is a proposed Wikimedia hub for affiliates and volunteers who are working on new language versions of Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects. These will typically include indigenous, minority, marginalized and under-resourced language communities.
As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen linguistic inclusion across the Wikimedia movement, this event will provide practical guidance on how to translate system messages and interface elements in MediaWiki. A well-translated interface improves accessibility, usability, and participation for speakers of diverse languages, and your contributions can make a meaningful difference.
We warmly welcome both new and experienced volunteers, particularly those contributing to smaller-language Wikipedia projects and those interested in deepening their knowledge of Translatewiki and the MediaWiki ecosystem more broadly.
What to Expect
During this session, participants will:
- Learn how to translate MediaWiki interface messages
- Understand how localisation strengthens their home wiki community
- Engage with experienced translators
- Share experiences, challenges, and best practices
Whether you are new to interface translation or already contributing to localization efforts in your home wiki, this session will offer useful insights and hands-on guidance.
