Translate
editWikimedia'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. Improvements made in the last month include:
- Drop non-array based configuration support for Insertables (Gerrit change 644464)
- Fix: "ULS Language Selector search textbox is not accessible from the Translate Group Selector" (task T94548)
- Stop hiding page heading on pages other than Special:Translate (Gerrit change 644514)
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.

There will be an MLEB release this month. We will update this space once it is available.
Previous release was: MLEB 2020.10. Please see the release notes for a list of changes.
