Hey, Lydia and I have spoken and this is what we have concluded re. translation and Tech News.<div><br></div><div>* Translation; I am going to make future summaries up until the end of July translatable. For the first August one; Lydia and I will come to a final conclusion as well as asking the community whether marking the summaries as translatable is still worth it. If we get 1 translator a week until July we will probably not continue unless we get a varying range if languages coming. Basically, if the community translate it, I&#39;ll continue to make it translatable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Tech News: this is interesting. Lydia said she does not mind putting a development paragraph on Tech News but it will not replace the summary&#39;s development update section as she feels having development and communities updates in one represents the development team&#39;s feeling that the communities should also be kept in the loop of the teams development actively as this summary provides.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I am going to finish off the summary shortly and will send the usual email and onwiki notifications with the note that the summaries are going to be translatable. See you all shortly then.</div><div>

        <div dir="ltr">What makes more sense at this point is to start
          adding a paragraph about Wikidata to the Tech News as they are
          rather than having a whole separate translatable newsletter.
          In the Tech News there&#39;s a whole paragraph every week about
          the VisualEditor, and there are short updates about
          CirrusSearch and MediaViewer almost every week. A weekly
          update about Wikidata can be there, too. If a whole paragraph
          is too long, a couple of the most important points would be a
          good beginning.<br>
          <br>
          It takes me less than ten minutes a week to translate each
          whole Tech News issue. Adding a few sentences about Wikidata
          should add no more than two minutes to the time that the
          translators already invest. I think that it&#39;s perfectly
          doable.<br>

              <br>
              I want the subject&#39;s mailing list to be translatable and
              delivered the same way as it&#39;s with Tech news. I&#39;ve asked
              about it on it&#39;s subscription page&#39;s talk page and faced
              there Lydia, who doesn&#39;t believe that there would be any
              volunteers (except for me in the current point) to
              translate it.<br>
              <br>
              So if you would like to translate the newsletter when it
              would be set to be possible, could you leave a note in [[<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata#Multilingual%20distribution" target="_blank">:m:Talk:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata#Multilingual

                distribution</a>]] about your willing so we get Lydia
              convinced :) Poking friends who may do it is welcome as
              well ;)<br>
              <br>
              Also it would be nice if Odder or/and Guillom leave a note
              about technical side of such delivery the same way as the
              latter was so kind to leave in Education newsletter&#39;s talk
              :)<br>
              <br>
              Yours sincerely,<br>
