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 you haven't translated Tech News previously, see this email:

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.
