Hi Seb35,
translations are still welcome and needed in these languages (French, Italian, Russian, Dutch). There has been, or maybe still is, a weird technical issue with the first banner's translation group, e.g. the stats page at [1] was claiming until a few hours age this group has 0 units (and 0 have been translated in any language, even though it has 3 units and translations already existed (e.g. [2]), being shown to millions of mobile readers over the last few days. The message you encountered looks like a different symptom of the same problem.
It is looking OK now again though, are you able to enter French translations at [3] now?
The issue is particularly strange because the translation group for the second banner did not show the same behavior (i.e. the stats at [4] continued to correctly show it as containing 3 messages, and recorded the existing translations correctly as well). That's even though both banners are completely identical except for the text,[5][6] and I didn't see anything in the logs that could have caused that difference. I strongly suspect it's a bug. Or is there another explanation? Any insights are welcome.

I get the message "This message group is empty", is it too late to translate or is it a misconfiguration?
Thanks, ~ Seb35

As many may already have seen, the new, fully revamped mobile Wikipedia app for Android was just released.[1] To bring it to the attention of mobile readers of Wikipedia, we are currently running banners (restricted to Android devices) which still need to be translated into the following languages:
French, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Dutch
(Together with English and German, these correspond to the top 10 languages - including variants - where the app is available in a localized version of sufficient quality, according to the developer team. The banners can be translated into other languages too, but they should only run in a language if the app is available in that language, too.)
The text of the banners:
"The new official Wikipedia app for Android: Faster speed, offline reading, and more." Translate at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=Cen...
"32 million articles, 280+ languages, one app Download the new Wikipedia app now" Translate at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=Cen...
Many thanks!
