Hi,
I have remarks regarding the newsletter.
(1) ‘The Wikimedia servers use HHVM to run the PHP code. They are going to use PHP7 instead.’ → Does this mean PHP7 will be installed (so this is an upgrade of PHP) and HHVM will no longer be used? If it’s not the case, what does ‘instead’ refer to?
It does – the maintainers of HHVM will not maintain PHP language compatibility: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/TEC4...
Do you think it needs to be clarified?
(2) Do the two problems talk about the same thing? It looks like it’s so, but the first one is not fixed while the second one is fixed. ‘When someone moves a page to a name that already exists that page is deleted.’ → Is the page that is moved which is deleted?
Indeed. Towards the bottom of my email I wrote this:
One item might be fixed before the newsletter goes out. In order to not have outdated info or have to ask you to retranslate, I've added a brief item we can use instead if it's fixed; I'll remove the incorrect one before sending out the newsletter on Monday.
Should have put it at the top, there's no reason for you to read to the bottom of something you see every week, of course. Do tell me if you think I should have a different approach in cases like these – my assumption was that translating another few sentences from the beginning is less work than potentially going back later, or less annoying than having your translation become outdated.
