2013 TechNet Wiki Translation Challenge Update! The early lead goes to Portuguese, German, and French!

First, go learn about the TechNet Wiki Translation Challenge here (if you haven't yet):

The 2013 TechNet Wiki Translation Challenge!!! BATTLE TIME!!! Who will win? Portuguese, Turkish, Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Norwegian, Indonesian, Farsi, Chinese, or Vietnamese?

This contest lasts from November 30, 2013 to January 12th, 2014 (6 weeks).

All the tags are listed here: Wiki: Translation Tags

So if you don't see your language listed on this page, it's because you don't have a translation tag yet! Start the tag, add it to the Wiki page below, and let me know in the comments below that we have a new language tag for the translations!

So how are the languages doing after just one week?

Portuguese - Durval leads us off with an amazing 55 articles in one week!
German - Second comes Carsten with 16 articles!
French - Next is Benoit with 13 articles!
Italian - And Luigi gets Italian started with 1 article!

Not yet started: Turkish, Spanish, Russian, Persian, Japanese, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.

I'm listing those languages that haven't started in order of how many articles there are in that language. See today's article from Tomoaki: Friday with International Community Update – Progress in each language (Nov. 2013)

I'd expect Turkish, Spanish, and Russian to have gotten started! You can do it!

And if any language wants to beat Portuguese... the secret is to team up! Build a team!

And most importantly, have fun with it! Thank you to Durval, Carsten, Benoit, and Luigi for starting us off!
