Hi, the latest tech newsletter is now ready for late translation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2013/28
I'm planning to send the newsletter around 19:00–20:00 UTC tomorrow. The translations that are complete or mostly complete will be posted on the wikis in that language.
Unfortunately, I was not able to prepare the newsletter earlier this week, due to other tasks and lack of help. I would welcome help from other editors to write the next newsletter so that the content can be ready for translation earlier, for instance around Thursday or Friday, with Saturday evening (UTC time) at the latest.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I appreciate your help and feedback.
Note: These two templates appear on the page and need to be translated separately (if translations aren't already done): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Tech_header https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Tech_news_nav

Hi there, after my horrible mistake of not giving due weight to manual review of what's being sent out in the newsletter -- which resulted in several errors mentioned at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tech/News#Tech_news:_2013-28 -- I decided it's time to write down our experiences and dos and don'ts so that we can make sure this never happens again.
In this spirit, I started a publication manual for Tech News at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Manual. I know that you guys, who translate the newsletter on a weekly basis, can provide us with the best feedback, so if anyone's got a spare minute, please write down your opinions or just be bold and add stuff to the manual.
Thanks in advance for your time and your involvement in Tech News, I can't stress how much I appreciate what you're doing.
