Translation strings

Hello! :) Where can I find out about new strings that need to be translated? I haven't found any news that a new feature pack has arrived (opt out mentorship). And I have some lines either not translated or with poor translation.

@Trizek (WMF), can you help me with it? :)

Thanks, I also found out about this link a couple of hours ago :)

Personally, it will help me, but if I suddenly leave (busfactor), how will others know that an update has arrived?

I really hope that you won't get hit by a bus, Iniquity! ;)

All strings are located at this address. Only a regular check can help someone who doesn't use watch-translations, I'm afraid.

I hope so too xD

Just given that this interface is being shown to newbies and is under active development (i.e. there are new lines) it is very important that it be translated, in my opinion. This affects the engagement and understanding of the interface :( Can we come up with a scheme where new lines would be published?

We plan to have much more regular updates of our newsletter, to inform communities about new releases.

I usually post messages to the mentors' talk pages at the wikis when something big is scheduled, as these users are more likely to help. Would it help if I also inform mentors of important changes that needs to translate a few new strings?

Of course! This will be the best solution :)
