This is about a major maintenance project for the Wikimedia servers.
*All* of the WMF sites will be in read-only mode for about half an hour –
twice – during the week of 18 April 2016. It will be possible to read
everything, but not possible to edit anything, during that time.
This project could be postponed (again) in case of technical problems.
However, I believe that this is the final version.
I have not invalidated any of the previous translations. This means that
some languages that are marked as "finished" are outdated, particularly for
the item that includes the time of day. (If you'd prefer, I can change
that, but I didn't want to discard anyone's previous work.)
Also, I have included several timezones in one message. Not everyone
seems to find UTC time convenient, and I want every editor to know when
this is happening. In your translations, please feel free to discard any
that are likely to be irrelevant to most people who speak your language,
and to add any new ones.
Thank you. I really do appreciate your help with this.
