MediaWiki.org, Meta wiki, and translatewiki.net are used to translated the software user interface and user manuals of the software that is used by Wikimedia sites. Everything starts in English, so software is 100% usable in English by definition. But what about other languages? In a few languages there are dedicated volunteers who regularly check for new things to translate, and keep their languages to 100%. But the localization in many languages is much lower than 100%. In this session you will learn how to use the translation tools to make the software platform that is used by Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikisource and all other Wikimedia projects completely usable in your language, and you'll get hands-on experience with translating it.
