I understand the reason for the change, but I also believe it is reasonable for anybody to assume that the translations would be identical and it should be easy for the developers to copy the translations to the new extension (maybe even before importing to translatewiki).

Hello Geraki and Raimond

First, sorry for the disturbance. I'm not involved in the project, but I think I know the reasons why those messages have been changed. 

Those labels have been created for VE, when VE was the only service using them. Now that Citoid is a service available both for VE, the new wikitext editor, and possibly more services, the label has been changed to have more sense for people who will work, improve and use the extension. 

Those changes are made in advance. For instance, Citoid-citoiddialog-title has been imported to translate wiki on April  23, 2019‎. I would suggest you to bookmark the recent imports link on Translatewiki, and check it time to time to catch up on new messages for MediaWiki. 

Also, don't forget to delete the local messages you have created when the centralized messages will be imported on the wikis. Otherwise, you will have a non-matching translation if the centralized message is changed. 

Hope this helps,
Benoît

Many thanks Raimond. I also tried to find the message and it seems that uselang=qqx reports the older message.
I don't like the fact that we need to translate again something that was already translated in hundrends of languages.
