MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle launches!

The Wikimedia Language Engineering team is pleased to announce the first release of the MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle. The bundle is a collection of a few selected MediaWiki extensions needed by any wiki which desires to be multilingual.
This first bundle release (2012.11) is compatible with MediaWiki 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21alpha.
The Universal Language Selector is a must have, because it provides an essential functionality for any user regardless on the number of languages he/she speaks: language selection, font support for displaying scripts badly supported by operating systems and input methods for typing languages that don’t use Latin (a-z) alphabet.
Maintaining multilingual content in a wiki is a mess without the Translate extension, which is used by Wikimedia, KDE and translatewiki.net, where hundreds of pieces of documentation and interface translations are updated every day; with Localisation Update your users will always have the latest translations freshly out of the oven. The Clean Changes extension keeps your recent changes page uncluttered from translation activity and other distractions.
Don’t miss the chance to practice your rusty language skills and use the Babel extension to mark the languages you speak and to find other speakers of the same language in your wiki. And finally the cldr extension is a database of language and country translations.
We are aiming to make a new release every month, so that you can easily stay on the cutting edge with the constantly improving language support. The bundle comes with clear installation and upgrade instructions. It is tested against MediaWiki release versions, so you can avoid most of the temporary breaks that would happen if you were using the latest development versions instead.
Because this is our first release, there can be some rough edges. Please provide us a lot of feedback so that we can improve for the next release.
