[Wikitech-l] GSoC 2018 Introduction

[Rosalie Perside]

Hello all,

I am Perside Rosalie student at the University of Buea-Cameroon studying
computer engineering and one of the accepted students for GSoC 2018.
I will work on the Emoji Twitter bot for Commons images from NYPL fork
. I hope to get in touch with a
lot of community members, encourage volunteers from my community  and as
well learn a lot from this project.

Best Regards,
Rosalie

[Wikitech-l] Maps in the language of your choice— try it out now on testwiki

[Joe Matazzoni]

You can now display maps in languages of your choice on testwiki. I made two 
pages to demonstrate the new features, on testwiki [1] and testwiki2 [2] 
(embedded maps on test2 are dynamic; those on test are static until you click 
to pop up an enlargement). 

By default, internationalized maps display in the language of the wiki (which 
is English for the testwikis). So to experiment with these features, you’ll 
want to use the two new mapframe parameters we’ve added. Just insert them into 
your mapframe code. 

lang=”xx”  Shows map labels in the language you specify with the short language 
codes used for each wiki.
lang=“local” Shows map labels in the languages of the territory mapped 
(essentially opting out of internationalization). 

Right now, internationalization works only with mapframe, not maplink (which 
should be working some time next week). You can read more about this new 
feature and how to use it on the Map Improvements 2018 project page, under 
Updates [3]. Our plan is to wait a week or two and assess user comments about 
the feature. At that point, we’ll decide whether to move forward with a general 
release or keep making fixes. 

So please try the new features out  and leave feedback on the Map Improvements 
2018 talk page [4] . We’re listening!

Yours,
Joe
