I worked for the Wikimedia Foundation as an Internationalization / Localization outreach consultant and was part of the [[Localisation team]] from October 2011 to September 2012. I am a [http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com very frequent blogger].
Hoi, I have been active in the WMF since 2003, my main activities are language related. As such I am a member of the language committee and am involved in the [http://translatewiki.net Betawiki] localisation effort.

In my opinion the WMF needs to spend more effort in supporting languages. It is roughly 50% of our traffic and without giving language support priority, our effort in other languages suffers.
