It's not enabled by default in Translate, but the configs for translatewiki.net and Wikimedia need to be updated. And someone should check beforehand that the new URL scheme actually works with the current Translate code.
What is the new non-project specific location of cxserver's MT api (for Translate) when cxserver.wikimedia.org goes away? Will the internal cxserver location stay, or is that going to be removed too?
Most of the API is hosted on the [global wikimedia.org domain](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Transform); the exception being the GET /page/segments/ end point which is part of project-specific domain APIs.
Will the internal cxserver location stay, or is that going to be removed too?
All access to CX APIs should from now on go though the public REST API interface without distinction between internal/external requests.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173038 is currently blocking deploying of /translate end point.
I added https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/372140 for Translate but testing it is also blocked on T173038: /v1/translate/{from}/{to}{/provider} endpoint fails while deploying cxserver.
I'm making list of impact of this change and update here soon. It mostly few instances, Beta and then Production. Also, we need to update documentation and various places (Extension and setup pages) along with it.
