translatewiki.net
[edit]See also translatewiki.net news page.
- 2021-02-11: Behavior of statistics has changed:
- Translated optional are counted in both total and translated (previously they were not)
- All language & message group statistics were refreshed to apply this change and correct any statistics that were outdated
- 2021-02-03: Behavior of translation exports has changed:
- Languages under export threshold are now updated if they have already been exported earlier.
- Languages under removal threshold will be deleted. By default it is 0%, meaning that files with no non-outdated translations will be deleted. The removal threshold can be configured per project in the same way as export threshold.
