@dr0ptp4kt can I suggest we punt this to sprint k?
The new language switcher is not going to be done this sprint and I'd like us to collect at least a weeks worth of data before even pushing to production.

It's been moved.

@Nirzar, any feedback from the usability test?

@dr0ptp4kt the language switcher and overlay just went to Beta on Thursday. Research has done the protocol and will test it with this week usability labs

Thanks, @Nirzar!

Should we actually make this a Wednesday and then make the other one a Tuesday deploy? That way we'd have Thursday open for clearing up issues should they surface.

This has been marked for inclusion in Tech News. Asking just to be on the safe side to make sure I'm not missing anything, the important piece of information is that:

a) the language button is moving for mobile users and
b) this will happen on Tuesday August 9?

@Johan, thanks for asking. Yes, the change will take effect right between Tuesday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 10 in UTC time (SWAT window is 9-August 2300-2359)

Annoyingly there was a big issue in the SWAT window. I waited till 6pm but the SWAT didn't happen. I believe it's fixed now. @phuedx if there's anyway you can get the SWAT done in the early deploy window tomorrow I would be eternally grateful to avoid staying late again: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/303003
