Also, audit added langs for missing 'date' pages. (Note: I have script for this somewhere...)

I've got a test for that in the repo. Needs to be enabled using an env variable.

Added Portuguese:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/373159/

There are a couple small-ish refactors I'll probably need to make before adding other langs.

(in on-this-day-languages.js I'll prob need to pass nameFormatter methods the monthNumber - Polish day and anniversary pages use month number not name. also should probably factor out the unicode dash character class which I added for Portuguese and use it for the other langs yearListElementRegEx too.)

There's also a parsoid bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173384#3542235 which will need to resolve before adding Polish.

@bearND ^ I added Russian! :)

@bearND and Spanish.

...and Arabic :)

There's a test failing, but it doesn't appear to be related to On this day.

Add new langs to app 'on this day' whitelist:

Parked in Waiting for Build until updates are deployed to MCS. Please move back into QA once the updates are deployed/testable.

@ABorbaWMF @JMinor

Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Arabic went live!

Testing criteria for each language above

• switch device lang
• clean install of app
• should see an "On this day" item in the Explore feed for respective lang

@Mhurd I took a look at this on 5.6.1 (1212). Russian and Spanish looks good. Portuguese and Arabic still have some English characters: On this Day, Dates, etc

Russian	Spanish

Postuguese	Arabic

Maybe it is still rolling out? Or maybe cached data?

@ABorbaWMF I think those are just strings TWN folks haven't translated yet, but I can double check tomorrow. Thanks!

Testing on iPhone 7 (iOS 10.3.1) and Wikipedia app 5.6.1 (1212). I'll post screencaps and let the staff decide if the results are fixed.

The fix for T173384 is deployed. Now we could add Polish, too.

FWIW, bswiki has also been added since then due to some help from a volunteer.

carolyn found an android mailing list post asking about on-this-day for other langs.
