See discussion on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/877188 -
Have discussed this with Dzahn on IRC. It looks to me like the translation.override value is actually hardcoded in the deployment repo -
That configuration template gets values from /etc/phabricator/config.yaml, which are in turn set from puppet.
This makes it seem like there's some redundant stuff in puppet that isn't actually getting applied to the Phabricator config, and fixed_settings.yaml here probably needs cleaned up.
Should make sure this is actually the case.
