If we are looking for a good multi-language solution that avoids English-only usage, I would like to propose utilising Movement Strategy Forum <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/> [1]. It is available to any Wikimedia user (it uses Wikimedia SUL as a login) and can be read even by unlogged users. Its star feature is multi-language capability, a translation extension that allows each user to write in its own language and have their entries automatically translated into languages used by other users. One newsletter ("Updates from the Communities <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/updates-from-the-communities-weekly-newsletter/1411>") written by the WMF's Advancement Department is already being shared there since August 2022 [2] (in addition to being published on Facebook).
Movement Strategy and Governance team working in the Wikimedia Foundation has been running the Forum (disclaimer: I work part-time as a member of this team) since spring of this year (Report for the Proposal Review Period <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Forum/Community_Review_Report> is available on Meta [3]). MS Forum allows users from all communities to share information about their activities and projects. It has a lower entry barrier, as it does not require English proficiency to participate in global discussions. It is also easier to join for newcomers than Meta, which may be a tough place to enter at the beginning. I welcome everyone to visit the Forum and read about Movement Strategy developments and projects in communities that some of us may have never heard from before. They are there, talking to the Movement in English and many more languages.
