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.

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.
