Notes

There are some missing translations (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421501#11840861). It is decided that we will wait for those to come through Translatewiki (see https://wikimedia.slack.com/archives/C4DDMJ9CH/p1776776668416869).

"Start working towards a 25-day streak!"

Updated Text

Updated this text to match what was translated:

"25-day reading challenge widget available" > "Install the 25-day reading challenge widget" (might want to update the mock)

"Don't let today drift by, save your streak." > "Don’t let today drift by, your reading streak is waiting."

Moving to blocked, will finish when https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T420658 strings are in place and missing translations from previous comment are added. Just a couple of points left. Progress is in reading-challenge-localizations-2.

Tested on 8.0.1.354

Portuguese - Not translated
Japanese - Translated
French - Translated
Spanish - Translated
German - Translated
Malay - Partially translated. Enrolled not started has some english characters

Note: In German and Malay, the challenge complete widget has a long text in the button that uses ellipses. In German, the concluded incomplete widget has some layout issues.

@Tsevener Is there a reason we didn't do Portuguese? William said a volunteer did Android's for portuguese in Translate.wiki.

@HNordeenWMF The translations sheet had pt-br language code. So it should show up under Portuguese Brazil iOS settings, but not those other Portuguese languages. Screenshot from simulator language settings.

I'm merging this design review PR that may also have a missing translation. Commenting here to remind us to add it when we fix this bug.
