Hebrew also done, but I have a question:
How can I translate the title of the section for this message? I really
don't want this message to be posted with an English title in our wiki...

> Note: I fixed the code of this news page to use "bdi" tags within the
> hidden tvars for button labels, because the news page displays a translated
> language which is not necessarily the same as the user language used to
> render the button labels (this causes issues notably for the surrounding
> punctuations if these languages are not using the same direction: the page
> in English could be read while the user's language would be Arabic... or
> the reverse). I've checked the few existing translations of this page to
> make sure they were consistant.

> The links to the two important button labels to translate, are also now
> made bolder (it should be evident where to go to translate these buttons,
> without having to look for the labels in the thousands of translations for
> MediaWiki using searches in a long list). At first I was wondering where to
> go to translate these two buttons. Now with the help page, it is clear
> (even if translators on translatewiki.net don't read it completely and
> don't care really about this news page).

>>> This message describes a significant change to the most important button

>>>
>>> There are also links in the message for the button labels.  Please check

>>>
>>> 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.
