[wesnoth-i18n] Version 1.14.0, the Steam store, and you

[Iris Morelle]

Hi there,

We're on the home stretch for version 1.14.0 gold, which will be tagged on the 
25th after midnight UTC assuming no last-minute issues warranting yet another 
delay crop up. This means everyone has about 2 days for submitting translation 
updates for mainline.

As a little sneak peek, it seems likely that version 1.14.1 will be released 
shortly thereafter with a few major string changes. We will try to come up 
with a schedule that accommodates translators as best as possible 

With all that said, there are two important items we need you to work on 
before May 1st:

 * The 1.14 press release-style announcement (should become available and
   string-frozen within the next three days).

 * The Steam store description texts (now available, not entirely
   string-frozen).

It is *very* important that Wesnoth's store descriptions are correctly 
translated for as many translations as possible, although it's worth noting 
that Steam does not support all of our active translations.

The instructions for submitting store description translations can be found at 
the following page:

https://github.com/wesnoth/steam-meta/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

I will be taking care of these to save Ivanovic some time, so you can send me 
your updates directly through any of the three channels described on the page 
above.

We'll not be placing restrictions on which translation teams can submit 
updates, but bear in mind that only those listed in the page are supported by 
Steam. We can't do anything to add other translations to the store page. Also 
note that only translations that have 100% completion will be used -- this 
should hopefully not prove too much of an issue since the catalogues have only 
22 strings at the moment and about half of them are short or for translator 
use only.

ALSO, the system requirements and legal information field (the latter 
currently empty) are still subject to change. We'll make sure to inform you 
ASAP if we add or modify strings in them.
