Change Details

**Feature summary**: Add new translation strings to [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikimediaMessages|Extension:WikimediaMessages]] for Tech News **Use case**: We would like to reduce the effort needed from translators, by adding a few of the default strings that are used //every week// within the Tech News newsletter. **Details**: Specifically, we'd want to include entries for these strings: (A) Easy - Static strings: * `Recent changes` * `Problems` * `Changes later this week` * `Future changes` * `Recurrent item` * `Advanced item` (B) Harder? - Strings that contain //1 variable// each week, for the issue-number/page-name (`2021/33` in this case): //(I don't know if/how we could handle these automagically?)// * `Latest '''[[<tvar name="technews">m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News</tvar>|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.
