Internationalization instructions seem to be outdated, can it be fixed?
Hello, I hope it's ok that I write my questions to the mailing list. I newly discovered the possibility of translating Mailman. However, the instructions given are a bit hard for me to follow. Specifically, there are things that cannot be done: * https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Internationalization instructs to write to one's Mailman Language Champion; I wrote to the Champion for Ukrainian, but his email is rejecting letters. * It is mentioned on https://wiki.list.org/DEV/i18nhowto that Mailman3 is not ready for translation yet – it's hard for me to believe, that this is still the case, taking into consideration that that page is said to be last updated several years ago. I have trouble understanding what's the current situation. lists.wikimedia.org is said to use Mailman3 now; I see some interface lines in English but some in Ukrainian as well, so at least some translations were imported into newer version(?) But I don't see where I can translate Mailman3. If I'm missing something, please point me in the right direction. But if my assumption is right and the instruction pages are indeed outdated, how can we fix that? Best regards, Ata

Language Champions are for MM 2.1 only and for most languages that info is not current. If you can't contact a language champion to coordinate, just proceed.

I have just updated that page. Mailman3 is translated at
