This is because a poorly-translated string is causing one of our unit tests to fail. This is a regular occurrence, and is fixed by tweaking the offending string and re-syncing with TWN.

Hi @Dbrant - thanks for the update. Is the string fixed at twn.net already? If not, I can revert/delete there.

Also, it would be good that, instead of having to recheck each time an l10n-update patch is uploaded, that jenkins could just run the checks but not merge. It can save a lot of time.

That would be great, and that's how it worked before, but for some reason it was disabled by someone, and I'm not sure how to re-enable it.

I'll file a task for this.

Do we know what the offending string is so we can fix it at translatewiki?

This is done (both locally and on twn)
