The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2019/42

I plan to send the newsletter on Monday afternoon (UTC), i.e. Monday morning PT. The existing translations will be posted on the wikis in that language. Deadlines: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/For_contributors#The_deadlines
There may be a more edits by Friday but the existing content should generally remain fairly stable. I will let you know on Friday in any case.
Let us know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As always, we appreciate your help and feedback.

If I can help you with anything, please ask!)
The text of the newsletter is now final. One new item was added shortly after yesterday's email. There won't be any more changes; you can translate safely.
Regarding https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235027: There's a simple workaround: once you're done translating, just go back and edit the existing translation, e.g. add a space to the translated title. That'll create the page and make your translation show up in the language bar. I've added this to the translation documentation (above the suggested translations) and, as far as I can tell, hunted down all existing translations and made sure they appear. (: I'll make a new round to find translations that haven't appeared before I send this out on Monday, if the bug hasn't been fixed by then.
