Thread:Talk:Echo (Notifications)/Too many notifications sent by the Translate extension without any actual modification./reply (2)

This bug 14901 is said to be "resolved, fixed". Still this correction is not working as it should, and the bug persists (or it's unrelated to bug 14901 and is another bug, or the patch has not been applied on Meta; bit I see also the same effect with translations on other wikis). The bug does not occur however on translatewiki.net (may be it has applied the patch, but not Wikimedia sites). It is a fact that the Translate extension creates these notifications even when they are absolutely not needed (no change at all in the wiki text, only a vote by someone else for approving a translation).

And a fact as well that these notifications should be bucketed instead of being sent in batches every few seconds when someone reviews a list of translations and accepts them.

That's clearly someting that the Translate extension must rework, by delaying them, or by informing the Notification system to delay the delivery, so that the Translate interface can produce a summary.

For now it is just spamming in mass to my mailbox, really too frequently (including with messages saying that I have *myself* created or modified a translation).

There's certainly something to develop in a better cooperating API between the Translate extension, the Notifications extension and the MEdiaWiki mail interface, but which could as well be used between LiquidThread's extension (for "new messages") and the Mediawiki mail interface: we need more tunings for these messages, even if the associated pages are part of a watchlist (which is not enough categorized by types of interactions).
