Yes, it's been so for a long time. I told about it to Nikerabbit over a year ago: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nikerabbit#K.C3.A4.C3.A4nn.C3.B6st...

I think it's https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71613 but also seems to be related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T69921 (though marked as resolved, closed)

Very frustrating, so I always have to copypaste the translations from the previous tech news.

Translation memory doesn't work there not for the first time :(

Is it a common problem?

Greetings,

The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/23

Direct translation link:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=pag...

I'm planning to send the newsletter on Monday afternoon (UTC), i.e. Monday morning PST. The existing translations will be posted on the wikis in that language.

There may be a few more edits by tomorrow (Friday), but the existing content should generally remain fairly stable. I'll let you know tomorrow in any case.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As always, I appreciate your help and feedback.

Thanks!

Yes, unfortunately, Translation memory now fails most of the time for me. It seems to work only for small on 1-word sentences. Copy-pasting from previous tech news is annoying but it's the best solution I could find as well.

There is a new English section line in my current translated version,

but it does not show up as translatable:

...

Edit tags added by the software have been broken on all wikis since May 23. [3]

It's because the line was added after I marked the page for translation. As usual, I will finalize the text today, mark it for translation and follow up on the list, and that sentence will become translatable.

and there is a line

...

Publication of Wikimedia Tech News for week $week of $year

regularly showing up on new translations but not in the translation memory nor in previous weeks translated pages any more, so that I regularly have to dig trough guessed message names so as to find it for copying & pasting.

I really should remove that one. It's only used as a description for the deadline link, which is why is disappears once the newsletter is published. It's very optional, and I didn't realize the lack of translation memory made this one particularly annoying, so I'll remove it in future editions.

Thank you all for your comments :) Let me know if there is anything else I can improve to make translation easier.

Not the same thing, we're not using Solr any more.

but also seems to be related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T69921 (though marked as resolved, closed)

Maybe, but there are no known issues with translation memory on Wikimedia projects. If you encounter issues, please file them in Phabricator. In the meanwhile, we have noticed a suboptimal usage of Translate in some cases: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Deadline
