The TranslationNotifications extension provides a way to manage the communication with translators on a wiki which uses the Translate extension.
The extension has two main parts:
The extension is useful only if the Translate extension is installed and configured. It uses the MassMessage extension to leave messages on user's talk pages, so that extension should also be installed.

The following configuration variables are used:
$wgTranslationNotificationsContactMethods
configures which contact methods are enabled. These are the default values:
$wgTranslationNotificationsContactMethods = [ 'email' => true, 'talkpage' => true, 'talkpage-elsewhere' => false, ];Special:TranslatorSignup[edit]
A special page where translators can sign up. Example: Special:TranslatorSignup on Wikimedia's Meta-wiki. Users can set their language preferences (first, second and third language) and the contact method such as email or talk page notifications. It's also possible to ask to be notified on a talk page on a different wiki in the same CentralAuth-based wiki family.[1] They can also choose the frequency of notifications: always (every time there is something to translate), weekly digest or monthly digest. The email option will be available only for users who confirmed their email address.
In the case you have enabled email notification for user talk edits in the wiki of choice, you'll get it also for translation notifications, so it's probably better to select only email as method, to avoid duplicate messages.
Special:NotifyTranslators[edit]This page is available for translation managers. They use it to notify about the availability of a translatable page (notifications for other message groups are not supported). They can optionally set a deadline and a priority, and add a custom message. They can also send the notification only to translators to particular languages. If no languages are set, all the translators who signed up will receive the notification.
The user right required to operate this page is 'translate-manage'. For example, to allow all sysops to use this page, add the following line to your LocalSettings.php
file:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['translate-manage'] = true;Notification configuration[edit]
The notifications - email, digest emails, talk page notifications - are done with the help of the Job Queue. You need to configure the job queue execution time as explained in the Job queue manual.
The DigestEmailer script needs to be configured using a cron job. For example, it can be scheduled to run on every Sunday 10AM using a crontab entry like the following one:
0 10 * * 7 /usr/bin/php /www/wiki/extensions/TranslationNotifications/scripts/DigestEmailer.php 2>&1 > /var/log/digestEmail.log
The script will not start sending emails immediately. It starts inserting email jobs to the MediaWiki job queue. Depending on the configured job queue scheduling, the mails will be sent out.
