I think I just fixed the last translations in Swedish.

This is a quick notice and a call for help from translators: likely next week, we'll be launching a new experiment aimed at helping newly-registered editors, called task recommendations. You can check out the UI by looking at the design specification ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Task_recommendations) and our research documentation ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Task_recommendations/Experiment_one )

The good news: the main interfaces are well translated enough for us to launch our A/B test in 12 languages...

• English
• German
• French
• Spanish
• Italian
• Russian
• Chinese
• Ukrainian
• Swedish
• Dutch
• Hebrew

The bad news: we needed to add some error messages for the rare occasion that something goes wrong. These are *almost* merged and will ideally also get translated too.

If you speak these languages and/or know someone who is a translator on Translatewiki, then it would be great to keep an eye out for untranslated strings coming soon in the GettingStarted extension.

Heads up that the error messages and other changes have been finished, so we are deploying these tests today. German and Hebrew are finished with 100% of translation, but rest of the list above needs to do the error messages as well.

Thanks again for all the speedy help from translators. You're all amazing.

It seems that not-so-newly-registered editors are concerned as well, and some of them are wondering how to disable this new feature¹. Any tip that doesn't involve dirty hacking with JavaScript and CSS?

Thanks!

Hi Jeremie,

This is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/70759 which strangely seem to be present on German and French Wikipedias, but not English.

We'll be addressing this bug as our top priority today. However, we don't normally deploy code on Fridays (to avoid any further mess on the weekend) so it may have to wait till Monday. Either way, we will either fix the issue or disable the test temporarily while we debug. I can also give editors CSS to remove recommendations for themselves, if it's really bugging them.

Thanks for your email,
