Please translate this message:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing/Publish

This message describes a significant change to the most important button on
any wiki:  the "Save page" button will soon be split into two labels:
 "Publish page" (for new page creations) and "Publish changes" (for edits
to existing pages).

There are also links in the message for the button labels.  Please check
those translations and make sure that they are accurate.  Those
translations will be used by default at all MediaWiki installations (not
just Wikipedia and its sister projects), so precise, accurate translations
are important.

Experienced editors don't need to read the button's label to know what it
does, but user research over the years strongly supports this change for
new contributors.  This change will be important to people who teach new
editors or who maintain help documentation.

I hope to send this message to more than 600 WMF wikis, in more than 200
languages, at the end of this week.  Every language is important for this
change.  Please help me if you can.

Thank you.
