This topic will serve as a source of announcements for changes in translation system and/or converter tools, which require user action, and/or result in some service interruption.

Modders: subscribe to be notified when you need to update your github actions configuration, hooks, etc. (Which hopefully will be very rare, if happens at all.)

A major upgrade is coming soon. It's been in the works for a while, there's a lot of changes, including updates to converters, female translations, github flows, etc.
It is long overdue, as the old version has been keeping us back on a number of issues. And while not everything in the new version is as perfect as I'd like it to be, I think the change is worth it.

The process
- The upgrade itself will take a few days, during which the system will not be available.
- After that, there will be a period of beta testing, also a few days. During beta testing, only selected users will be able to access the system to test it for issues.
- Beta test results will determine whether we keep the new version or roll back and try again later.
- Any translations submitted during beta test will not make into repositories if rollback is chosen, so no reason to go overboard, just try enough to understand whether it works well.

Modders
No translations will be sent to the repositories during upgrade and beta test. After the test, certain changes to github actions will be needed, which will be detailed later.

Translators
To get beta test access, ask on forums or in chat channels.
