Hi, A friendly reminder: please add all new translatable messages to the source and commit them to Gerrit as early as possible, so that translators will get a chance to translate them before betas are released. In the world or Wikimedia / translatewiki localization we strongly believe that releasing translatable strings as early as possible makes the whole process of translating and testing much more efficient and prevents bugs such as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72607 Thank you! :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Hey Amir, The problem here is that iOS's infrastructure around things like alphas and betas is really bad. So TestFlight serves as beta, alpha, and even pre-alpha in some cases. What this means is that sometimes, in order to test ongoing work that has not yet been merged so that I can give the devs feedback earlier in the development cycle, TestFlight builds include unmerged code. Or they include code that was just merged. Any messages that are added in this code are therefore not represented on translatewiki. On Android, you'd do the above by pulling master, applying the unmerged patch, building an APK, and mailing it around privately. Unfortunately, this is simply not possible on iOS. We will make sure that we try to keep things synchronised, to the best of our ability. :-) Thanks, Dan On Saturday, November 15, 2014, Amir E.
