Note that the translation interface (with the form) is protected from
edits, even from registered users. So only these translations are
being edited instead on the first page (listing all languages), and
need to be transported to the translation interface by some authorized
users, from which it will create the actual message resoures (that are
also protected).

Greetings,
First of all, let me thank everyone who has already helped to
translate the banner and the landing page.
The first phase of the deployment is going to happen in two days, and
we especially need to translate the banner into these two languages,
whose wikis will be affected first:
* Esperanto (eo):
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Generic_maintenance_notice#eo
* Hebrew (he):
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Generic_maintenance_notice#he
Although it's less urgent, we'll soon need the other languages as
well, so please take a look at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Generic_maintenance_notice
and help with the remaining translations. Most of the time, there's
only a sentence to translate to complete the translation.
Many thanks for your help,

Dear all,
I'm coming to you today to request your assistance to translate
material in preparation for the upcoming deployment of MediaWiki 1.19
(the new version) to Wikimedia sites.
The first request is to update the translations for the CentralNotice
banner:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Generic_maintenance_notice
This translation request uses a simple wiki page; just edit the
relevant section for your language.
I've added one sentence to the existing text; what needs to be
translated is highlighted in orange.
The second request is to translate the landing page, i.e. the page
that people will see when they click the link in the banner:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_maintenance_notice
This translation requests uses the new Translate system. Click the
"Translate this page" link at the top of the page and let the
instructions guide you.
I've imported as much translated content as possible from the previous
translations of this landing page to save translators' time. I've also
done the French translation for both requests.
Also, note that the link to the Wikimedia blog isn't working yet: the
article will be published later today, but I added the link to avoid
having to update the translations later.
If you have any question or comment, I'm happy to help.
Many thanks for your assistance!
