This is to let you know that Collaboration Team is planning to release map internationalization next week for testing on testwiki. When it’s ready, we’ll post a note to confirm.
Meanwhile, you might like to check out the detailed post I added last night to the Map Improvements 2018 project board: Special Update on Map Internationalization[1]. It includes a lot of information on the feature's status, how the it will work, how we imagine it might be useful, what the known limitations are, etc. I’m looking forward to getting your input on this challenging but important feature (the best place to leave your ideas and questions is on the project talk page [2]).
Yours, Joe
