Hey, Lydia and I have spoken and this is what we have concluded re.
translation and Tech News.
* Translation; I am going to make future summaries up until the end of July
translatable. For the first August one; Lydia and I will come to a final
conclusion as well as asking the community whether marking the summaries as
translatable is still worth it. If we get 1 translator a week until July we
will probably not continue unless we get a varying range if languages
coming. Basically, if the community translate it, I'll continue to make it
translatable.
* Tech News: this is interesting. Lydia said she does not mind putting a
development paragraph on Tech News but it will not replace the summary's
development update section as she feels having development and communities
updates in one represents the development team's feeling that the
communities should also be kept in the loop of the teams development
actively as this summary provides.
So, I am going to finish off the summary shortly and will send the usual
email and onwiki notifications with the note that the summaries are going
to be translatable. See you all shortly then.

What makes more sense at this point is to start adding a paragraph about
Wikidata to the Tech News as they are rather than having a whole separate
translatable newsletter. In the Tech News there's a whole paragraph every
week about the VisualEditor, and there are short updates about CirrusSearch
and MediaViewer almost every week. A weekly update about Wikidata can be
there, too. If a whole paragraph is too long, a couple of the most
important points would be a good beginning.
It takes me less than ten minutes a week to translate each whole Tech News
issue. Adding a few sentences about Wikidata should add no more than two
minutes to the time that the translators already invest. I think that it's
perfectly doable.

Hello,
I want the subject's mailing list to be translatable and delivered the
same way as it's with Tech news. I've asked about it on it's subscription
page's talk page and faced there Lydia, who doesn't believe that there
would be any volunteers (except for me in the current point) to translate
it.
So if you would like to translate the newsletter when it would be set to
be possible, could you leave a note in
[[:m:Talk:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata#Multilingual
distribution
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata#Multilingual%20distribution>]]
about your willing so we get Lydia convinced :) Poking friends who may do
it is welcome as well ;)
Also it would be nice if Odder or/and Guillom leave a note about
technical side of such delivery the same way as the latter was so kind to
leave in Education newsletter's talk :)
Yours sincerely,
--Base
