Content Translation
Content Translation allows people to translate Wikipedia articles. Check out also the updates about version 3.

Translate
Wikimedia's software is translated to hundreds of languages using the Translate extension for MediaWiki. In addition, it is used to translate help pages, newsletters, policies, announcements, banners, etc. It is installed on Wikimedia special projects, translatewiki.net and many other sites. Translate is part of MLEB. Improvements made in the last month include:


 * Add support to move message bundles which has been built to provide a localisation framework for Scribunto modules.
 * Add a translation aid in tux to display a translation's edit summaries
 * Fix: "Division by zero possibility in mediawiki/extensions/Translate/scripts/ttmserver-export.php"

And a bunch of other behind-the-scenes improvements. Please follow this link to see a full list of patches submitted to the extension during this month.
