Description
There are over 270 Wikipedias and over 30 languages are requesting one. These languages represent most scripts and represent small and large populations. The WMF enables the visibility of text with web fonts, it supports input methods, there is a big multi application localisation platform at translatewiki.net and we are implementing translation tools for our "pages" for documentation and communication to our communities. To do this, we rely on standards. Standards that get more relevance as they are implemented in more and more places in our software. Some standards are not supporting all the languages that we support.

I have thought so many times of entering the blogging world as I love reading them. I think I finally have the courage to give it a try. Thank you so much for all of the ideas!
Translating and localizing is a very time-consuming process. I'm glad there are now services like the <a href=https://www.translate.com/english-spanish>spanish translator</a> that can help translators to mechanize their work. Also, the algorithms of this service are so good that it is incredibly difficult to distinguish its translation from a human translation.
