Hello
One of the messages used for the server switch is adapted to provide the local times for the various communities we serve. For instance, the message in French https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch/fr provides times for Western Canada, Western Africa, Central Africa and Western Europe.
Some of these countries or geographical areas observe Daylight Saving Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time. In this case, some local times displayed in the message might be wrong since the last server switch.
As a consequence, the following message should be checked: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessa...
Reminder: the next server switch will happen on March 20, 14:00 UTC. You can safely translate until then.
Thank you, Benoît

Hello
A new server switch will happen soon, on March 20.
The default message we use < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Server_switch%3E needs a check for date formats. < https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=pag...
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before the read-only. You can translate it at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=Cen...
Thank you in advance, Benoît
