Language and Product Localization Technical Support

Introduction

This is a workstream within the Language and Product Localization team in the Wikimedia Foundation’s Product and Technology department created effective July 2023. We work closely with language communities where timely interventions and engagements are needed to support internationalization and localisation workflows and products to help these communities to keep them moving to achieve their goals.

It should be as easy to consume and contribute useful knowledge in all the world’s languages as it is in the largest ones. We will work closely with the Wikimedia communities about language- and region-specific needs within the products intended for multilingual use. We identify gaps in product workflows and periodically report the findings that affect use and growth of the product in certain languages or regions, and surface special needs that are necessary for a uniform multilingual product experience.
