Dear community, this week we enabled  support on all Wikipedia and
sister projects.  This means that now an article can have a link to a map,
and that map may contain highlighted regions and popups with information.
[1],[3]

Our next step is to add an informational sidebar to the map, similar to
what is being shown on the "geohack" page (map link in the upper right
corner of most location articles).  Check out proposed screenshots [2]

We now also have a geoshapes service. So if Open Street Maps community has
defined a region and assigned it a Wikidata ID, you can draw it on the map
with that ID. Or you can use Wikidata Query Service (via SPARQL language),
to query for those IDs and draw them on the map, coloring them and adding
popup information. [3] Geoshapes can also be used for the graphs. [4]

[Talk-in] On a interface for translation

[sibi kanagaraj]

Dear all ,

As noted in the mail by Arun in Wikimedia India mailing list [1],the
translations for most of the map feature names is not available in Indic
Languagues . I am planning to take up the task of translating a bulk amount
of data to Tamil . But , I am facing an issue as I am not that familiar
(but eager to know) about the OSM interface fro translation , and doing it
one node at a time . If some one has experience or fun in translation
interface please let me know .For now , I am doing it this way as helped by
SrrReal 

1. Go to osm.org
2. Hit the edit button
3. That opens the ID editor.
4. Click on a street name for example
5. On the left side, it displays the 'Name' text box. At the right corner
of the text box is a '+' sign.
6. Hit that button to translate. From the resulting dropdown pick Tamil as
the language and doing the honours ;)
