Translation broken

Hi, Something is broken, there is a message "Failed to load translation aids: Title does not correspond to a translatable message" all the time, there are no $ buttons and so on. I tried to translate manually, but the page is not created. And taking into account there are no translations at all on Saturday morning, looks like it's a wider problem. Thank you.

@IKhitron, you can try again, problem has now been solved. –– STei (WMF) (talk) 09:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

@IKhitron, I have emailed translators-l about the problem and the solution. Thank you for raising it. Have a good weekend. STei (WMF) (talk) 09:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

It worked some time, @STei (WMF), but the problem is back now. IKhitron (talk) 09:53, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

$Improved-Syntax-Highlighting in T:1 might be the cause. Cookai🍪 _(💬talk) 10:26, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Didn't help. IKhitron (talk) 10:46, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, now I'm sure it's a translational mechanism API bug, and it has nothing to do with the Tech News. IKhitron (talk) 12:11, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Is there something new, @STei (WMF), @Quiddity (WMF)? It's already Sunday, no time to translate normally. I've translated my version "on blind", and I'm sure there are a lot of mistakes and typos there, because there is no way to see the result. Especially in hyphens, which should be checked with two different "uselang", English and local. Looks like the same problem exists in other translations, there are half of translated versions than the usual. See also phab:T423779. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 07:08, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

I think it is fine to proceed since it appears that FuzzyBot updates the pages with translated content (recent example). But yeah, the interface might need a fix anyway since the message and behavior is misleading; translation is possible, but with bugs. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I am happy with the current translation, after many bot updates. But 1) it's not fun to work this way, and 2) we can hope that one of the broken parts will not be in delivery system, and 1100 talk pages across the world will not get instead of Tech News an error message added to them.
