[Engineering] Status of translation updates (was Re: Translations on hold until further notice)

[Greg Grossmeier]

Hello,

Thank you for bearing with us while translation updates were stopped.

We are now updating translations for Wikimedia sites with the weekly
MediaWiki train based on the updates that are being provided by
translatewiki.net. Feel free to add new translatable strings now.

However, during the investigation of the instigating security incident
we identified architectural issues with the systems and processes that
make up the nightly localization updates. This update process is
currently disabled and will remain disabled until there is a clear plan
and resourcing for improving the architecture. The task tracking this
discussion is at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T206694 .

In the mean time new translations will go out with the weekly MediaWiki
train.

Thank you for your continued understanding,

Greg
