[CONSULTATION] How might we ensure the Topic Subscription interface copy is translated into Russian?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task involves the work of consulting with volunteers who speak English and Russian to see if they can aid in translating the Topic Subscriptions interface copy into Russian.

Background

@matmarex: It seems for Russian Wikipedia, the list item for "Receive Notifications" is missing under Discussion Tools section on Preferences>Beta Features page.

It looks like the Russian translation hasn't been updated yet since we added that item: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Discussiontools-preference-description/ru (last edited in February)

@Whatamidoing-WMF have you had any luck identifying someone who speaks Russian and who is able to translate these interface messages?

I have remembered that it's possible to manually mark the message as outdated (that is, requiring translation), and did so: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Discussiontools-preference-description/ru&diff=prev&oldid=10314508. Hopefully it will show up to translators now and someone will update it.

I've also reviewed all of the translations manually (https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations/MediaWiki:Discussiontools-preference-description), and noticed the same issue in Ukrainian, and also marked it as outdated: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Discussiontools-preference-description/uk&diff=prev&oldid=10314509

Wonderful spot, @matmarex.
