Hi Philippe,
Sorry if I've tried to resolve this incorrectly.
I think I might have caused confusion, by using the example links with
the "?uselang=it/de" string added to the end. I did that purely to
demonstrate that the strings were already translated. The standard
page will indeed display those strings in French, as you note, if the
user's UI language is set to French.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:CKoerner_(WMF)/Wikipedia.org_updated_pa…
Generally, I believe the purpose of including those strings in any
message, is for the benefit of all the languages which do ''not'' get
translated at mediawiki or meta. E.g. if there isn't a [foo-language]
translation, but the message is delivered to the [foo-language]
Village Pump, then local editors will at least see the "please
translate" message in their own language, and thus they will be able
to potentially find a local editor to translate the full message.
One alternative general solution, might be to remove the
{{Int:Please-translate}} and {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}} strings
from the translatable page, whilst translation is ongoing, and then
simply add them back in before sending the message to any village
pumps.
Does that sound preferable to everyone, as a best practice for the future?
Thanks for the suggestion about fixing the fullstop and space.

And so you've forced the page to display Spanish
on all translated pages and
also independantly of user's UI language ! Wrong result !!!
You should have better removed this line completely (not needed, this is
generic for all translated pages, not just this one, and we already have a
languages box at top of translated page)
Otherwise you could have kept the two existing "int:" resources (plus the
two int:resources for the final dot and the word separation), but not part
of any translation unit for this page.

Hi Takashi,
I've removed that paragraph from the translation markup, because the
strings should both already be fully-translated.
(e.g.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:CKoerner_(WMF)/Wikipedia.org_updated_pa…
vs
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:CKoerner_(WMF)/Wikipedia.org_updated_pa…
etc)
Hope that helps

Hi Chris,
Could you add some more detailed description on the second paragraph,
{{Int:Please-translate}}. {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}}?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
The portal team here at the foundation would like to make a change to
the
Wikipedia.org portal. [1] We want to reach as many interested
contributors as possible. Could you please help translate these two pages?
One is an invitation for feedback that I will send to various Village Pumps.
The other is the information about the proposed change.
