Send one-time announcement email for search launch on 2021-10-07 after translations are deployed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As with other one-time announcements, we'd like to send an email to all Wikipedia Library users letting them know that search is available and that the on-wiki notification will start rolling out soon.

This should be translatable and sent in the user's preferred language.

Subject: The Wikipedia Library: Search feature now available!
Text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YdiDTyritNgjpVB-Zd33tYUQ94KK6CNgc-URlsPBYrE/edit

Please merge this to master so that it is translatable, but wait until we've had a few translations on 2021-10-07 before triggering the email.

reopened for the actual sending of the email

Note that this time, I'll need to actually wait until the latest translation image is available:
https://quay.io/repository/wikipedialibrary/twlight?tab=tags
and running on the production server.

verified that we have todays translation running in production

actually, it looks like we have the updated text files, but the binaries aren't updated for some reason. I'll update them locally and push so we have them live in the image.

Looking at this more closely, I think that we're no longer building the binary translation files after translatewiki commits. I went ahead and merged in T285671, which I believe will trigger a binary translation build. Watching and waiting for those build results.

verified that the build is live, and it looks like translations were built properly. Running command to send message now

I'm receiving the emails through my various accounts.

I've received 7 emails so far and a quick check of https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/admin/djmail/message/ shows emails in appropriate languages, so I think everything's working as intended!
