Hello Elena, I am glad to hear that WMF wants to do outreach in a variety of languages. However, I have a concern. Volunteers in many languages, in my experience, don't simply appear within 24 hours when someone wants a non-urgent translation, and I think that as a matter of courtesy WMF should give more than 24 hours' notice for a request of this nature. I think that 7 days might be realistic. Is there a reason for such short notice, and is there a reason that WMF cannot wait longer than 24 hours for a translation before posting this message to village pumps if a volunteer does not provide one within 24 hours?
Thanks.
