[Translators-l] New system for notifying translators, and two new requests

[Bojan Jankuloski]

Hello guys. I translated into Macedonian (mk) the updated updated Terms of
use <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_use/mk> long ago, but it does
not show it on Foundation Wiki when you click on the banner that displays
the notice (the banner itself does show in the correct language, though).
What is the problem there? This has been the case for at least a couple of
weeks now.
