Hi,

I think you might use some combination of tvar and magicwords or templates for this kind of recurrent messages:

The [[$version|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December ([[$calendar|calendar]]).

Clearly you just have date which will change, and those date and their locale representation could be embedded in a tvar, if I'm not too optimistic.

Thus the message would allways appear the same for translators, make a 100% match with previous translations, and so make translation a little bit faster and easier. :)

The text of the newsletter is now final. One new item has been added.
There won't be any more changes; you can translate safely.

Thank you, and have a good weekend!
