Wikipedia.org: translations for legal language footer on portal
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Now that we have translations on the Wikipedia.org portal page - we'd like to extend that to the text in the legal footer as well.

These three phrases will need to be added to translatewiki to be translated - text only - into the various hundreds of languages, as can be done:

Sorry, but it appears to me that the entire wikipedia.org page is shown in English again, except for the title above the puzzle globe ("Wikipedia The free encyclopedia", which is shown in German to me).

This isn't good - here's a screen shot of my browser's preferred language set to French where it is displaying correctly.

But, when switching my browser to German - it's not showing the translations properly:

Could this be due to a bot update that was done a little while ago?

This is happening in various languages - Chinese (simplified) is also not showing translations that were there before, but Arabic seems to be displaying the translations that currently exist (they have a few missing ones).

@debt Once again these caching issues.
The language files for some languages are cached as 404s, so the webpage falls back to english.

See for Deutsch:

French, however, works: https://www.wikipedia.org/portal/wikipedia.org/assets/l10n/fr-857bf7dc.json

This is a very problematic issue.

Could this be due to a bot update that was done a little while ago?

No, that's unrelated. (see above)

So, we have to wait 24 hours until the cache gets cleared, @JGirault or we manually clear it, right?
Thanks for looking at this issue!

This issue should be resolved now.
