Hi Seb35,
translations are still welcome and needed in these languages (French,
Italian, Russian, Dutch). There has been, or maybe still is, a weird
technical issue with the first banner's translation group, e.g. the
stats page at [1] was claiming until a few hours age this group has 0
units (and 0 have been translated in any language, even though it has
3 units and translations already existed (e.g. [2]), being shown to
millions of mobile readers over the last few days. The message you
encountered looks like a different symptom of the same problem.
It is looking OK now again though, are you able to enter French
translations at [3] now?
The issue is particularly strange because the translation group for
the second banner did not show the same behavior (i.e. the stats at
[4] continued to correctly show it as containing 3 messages, and
recorded the existing translations correctly as well). That's even
though both banners are completely identical except for the
text,[5][6] and I didn't see anything in the logs that could have
caused that difference.
Actually it just occurred to me that there was one aspect
in which
those two banners differed:
We cloned Wpapp2014Androidmobile_1 into another banner for test
purposes (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNoticeBanners/edit/Heatherte…
), but Wpapp2014Androidmobile_2 wasn't cloned afaik. And the time of
the cloning would be consistent with the times of the "empty banner"
occurrences. Just a hunch though; normally cloning should of course
leave the original banner intact.
BTW, I just updated
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:CentralNotice/Translations a bit.
I strongly suspect it's a bug. Or is there
another explanation? Any insights are welcome.

I get the message "This message group is
empty", is it too late to translate
or is it a misconfiguration?
Thanks,
