Hello Jhalmuri,
You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Bangla and Hindi on Meta. The page Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Announcement/Board voter email is available for translation. You can translate it here:
The priority of this page is high.
The community vote of this year's Board Elections are close. As always voter mails will be sent out. To invite as many community members as possible in their native tongue your help is very much appreciated. While there are already plenty of translations we would appreciate you to check for languages still missing and to contribute translations for these.
The mails are short, just a bit about two times 200 words, a few minutes of work.
Your support is very important as it helps communities to learn about the election and to cast their vote.
Best, Denis Barthel (WMF)
(Movement Strategy and Governance)Your help is greatly appreciated. Translators like you help Meta to function as a truly multilingual community.
