Hi Andrew,

I am a Swedish national and work remotely in the advancement team. I am
happy to help with this translation in Swedish.

The second paragraph in the Swedish translation looks like it was taken
straight from Google translate. In order to create a more accurate
translation, could you please clarify the meaning of the second part of the
sentence, marked in red below? I want to make sure I am not
misunderstanding this part, since I don't have the context. If you could
send me the entire article in Swedish, that would help as well.

   - *Wikidata hosted a menu challenge for restaurants, around the world,
   to expand their menus with key information. Participants used wikidata to
   provided wikidata labels, translations, images and more.*


Thanks!
