Hello everyone,
The Language team is working on an approach to move special page aliases to
JSON files <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89947> that can then be
translated via
translatewiki.net. The system we develop should also allow
translation of magic words and namespaces in the future.
An approach to do this has been described here on the Phabricator task:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89947#9358113
You can also read up on some of the other approaches that we reviewed:

The format being proposed is used in the proof-of-concept patch here:

We would love to hear from you what you think about this approach and if
you have any questions.
Regards,
