*Recent changes*

- The Content translation system is no longer using Youdao's machine translation service https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Content_translation/Translating/Initial_machine_translation. The service was in place for several years, but due to no usage, and availability of alternatives, it was deprecated to reduce maintenance overheads. Other services which cover the same languages are still available. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329137
