It would be nice to have the 1.21 announcement localizable, with a few translations available by the release day. What do you think?

(Reply moved from the other thread.) The real problem is that if we add information to the 1.XwmfY subpages then there's no easy way to transfer content and translation to the 1.X pages; perhaps sections like those should be transcluded from a central subpage for all wmf releases, which when the cycle is over would be either refactored and reused as MediaWiki 1.X page or partly transcluded in it, or whatever.

Er... sorry, I got lost. :) Do you agree with the idea of having the main page of each 1.x release translatable? The details of the point releases would go to a separate Release Notes page, in English only (which makes sense since more of the content of those notes are links to bugs in English only). I'm not sure what content you are proposing to transclude from Release Notes to main page, but if that is problematic for translations we can simply avoid transcluding?

No, I don't propose any transclusion from release notes. I mean that translatable human-readable information on WMF releases, like MediaWiki_1.21/wmf6#Most_important_changes, should be reusable on the main release page.
