- Support Support, now is 5 projects on Persian language. --~Innvs: 08:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support Support because of the tens of millions of Farsi speakers without freedom of speach and access to international news; before this happens there's still the news in Farsi supported by Reporters Without Borders (not neutral, but still balancing the official Iranian sources and its severe filtering filters; may be they could have a bit more freedom if the news are made more neutral here, so this would create a third voice).

- Currently, Localization of most used messages and core is Done. 1 message is remained in extension used by Wikimedia.--Kwj2772 08:37, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
At this moment, there is not enough activity on the Incubator. It is the reason why things do not proceed. The localisation effort is duly noted.. Thanks, GerardM 12:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
- I will give it another spirit and make it more active.--Mardetanha talk 21:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
