== Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki ==

Greetings!

The [[mw:Wikimedia Language and Product Localization|Language and Product Localization team]] has developed a [[mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Message_Bundles/Lua_reference|Lua interface]] to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages. 

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.   

We invite you to [[commons:File:Translatable_modules_video_demo_July_2025.webm|'''watch our demo video''']] '''and read more about''' [[mw:Translatable_modules|'''translatable modules''']] to understand how it works. '''Please give us your feedback on''' [[mw:Talk:Translatable_modules|'''this talk page''']] on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to [[m:Module:User Wikimedia project|Module:User Wikimedia project]], which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach. 

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

== kleshkreikne ==

Hi, this is kleshkreikne speaking. I’d like to say sorry for all the chaos I’ve done that made my account globally locked. I do apologize when my account is globally unlocked, I will focus more on contributing to Wikimedia and improving articles rather than dealing with trolls and LTAs. I do realize that I was continuing on feeding the trolls that disrupts the Wikimedia community. Again, please apologize me for what I’ve done to Wikimedia. Thank you [[Special:Contributions/&#126;2025-34545-36|&#126;2025-34545-36]] ([[User talk:&#126;2025-34545-36|talk]]) 23:54, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
