Xeno_WMF added a comment to T401871: Rewrite `makeMailingList.php` and `deduplicateMailingList.php` to work with Kubernetes restrictions.

In past years, these scripts have been critical to the successful completion of the Board of Trustees selection process, as there is a requirement to email eligible voters with information about the vote.

Xeno_WMF updated subscribers of T63125: Ability to notify all languages except some.

My experience is that people use the free-form message box to provide details of importance and urgency. Though I do think it would be good to have some alignment on when and how to use the Special:NotifyTranslators button. @Denis_Barthel may have thoughts.

Xeno_WMF added a comment to T316612: Request mass import of zh translations for MSG Termbase.

I suppose so- for some reason they were imported as zh-hant already ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Termbase/Table/zh-hant ) [perhaps that’s what we wrote in the input file].

Xeno_WMF added a comment to T313051: Mass import translations from CSV file for MSG termbase.

@abi_ Thank you again - I think my previous version actually dropped some of the unicode letters somehow, so here is a new version that implements your fixes while restoring the characters.

Thank you for those fixes @abi_ . We created the csv before the export was available :) I’m not able to access the linked file.

This will be useful for the Movement Strategy and Governance team. Our facilitators translate major languages, we would prefer not to send redundant notifications.

Xeno_WMF added a comment to T287023: Sending two mass emails to eligible voters for the board elections 2021.

Please let me know if any additional details are required.

I need the translations, or at least I need to know what the translations will look like, because part of the job here is converting text on a wiki into something that makes sense as an email.

Since I'm a fan of HTML email, I would be sympathetic to a request to send this email out as mixed HTML and plain text. That would affect how the text is written.
