Hi,
*Crossposting to Wikimedia-L, Wikitech-L, MediaWiki-L, and Wikitech-Ambassadors. You can reply to the mailing list, but the ideal place for further discussion is the talk pages of the wiki pages to which I link below.*
There's a new proposal to localize Lua modules in a more modern, safe, and convenient manner: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatable_modules .
In the foreseeable future it will only affect multilingual sites, such as Wikidata, Commons, Meta, and mediawiki.org, but at a later time it may also be deployed on Wikipedias and other projects.
It will be great if experienced module developers could take a look at the project page, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatable_modules , and its subpages, especially https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatable modules/Proposed solutions . Your feedback will be very helpful in implementing this project in a way that really benefits all the editors.
Thanks!

Hoi, Would it be considered for projects that are not the initial target to opt in.. I expect that particular in the smaller projects this will be really welcome and beneficial. Thanks, GerardM

The short answer is "yes".
The longer answer is that even though it will be possible, with the current scope of this project it probably just won't be very useful on sites other than the multilingual ones, which I mentioned in the first email.
Once this phase is implemented and deployed, it's quite possible that at a later stage it will be enhanced and become useful for other sites, but there will be a separate discussion about that.
