I meant centralnotice, not centralauth, of course. And I don't really like how this notice is pushed live without any translation... :(

I don't think using the translate extension is good for centralauth translation.

1) Old method is much easier to track modification to already-published translation.

2) For language with a lot of varients, say Chinese, we usually have zh-cn zh-hans zh-sg zh-my being identical, and zh zh-hant zh-hk zh-tw zh-mo being identical. Putting them on seperate pages not only waste resources and energy, but also makes it harder to sync - one may only update zh-hant and forget about the rest.

I'm certainly up for thoughts and correction but because of the links I thought we would usually split it up like this. These pieces are also how it has to be input into central notice (certainly Lego but not totally sure of better ways).
