Since the beginning of the year, the Wikimedia
Language team has enabled translation backports for MediaWiki core, extensions and skins
hosted on Gerrit. On a weekly schedule compatible translations from master branch are
backpored to all the supported release branches. Currently supported branches are
1.35–1.38.
What does that mean for maintenance for the extension for the released
versions? Version 1.35 is an LTS that will go end-of-life in September
2023.
I am not sure what your question is, but I'll provide two answers:
1) Backports are an automatic service for extensions, as long as the
extension is not archived and is enabled on
translatewiki.net.
2) The LocalisationUpdate extension, which is bundled with the
tarballs, will continue to receive minimal support (security fixes) in
the release branches unless there is a new maintainer who wants to do
more than that.
Anticipated
questions
Q: What about Wikimedia sites: does this mean they will not get frequent translation
updates as they used to have?
A: We still think this is important, but we do not think the previous solution can be
restored. We would like to collaborate on new solutions. One solution could be more
frequent deployments.
I want to be sure I understand this. Is it correct to say: new l10n
messages will continue to be merged into the mainline branches of
MediaWiki and extensions and will go live with the weekly train?
This is correct. Backports are an additional service on top of the
regular translation updates. MediaWiki core, extensions and skins in
Gerrit will continue to receive almost daily translation updates. See
for example
