Welcome to another edition of "emails full of wiki translation tech jargon"! Let's see, what our elite team of wiki researchers has accomplished since the last one.

- Thanks to Guilhem, we can now set the source language of a page to something else besides English!
1. Visit https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:PageLanguage
2. Start inputting the page path into the "Page" field and pick the page
3. Select language

- We will get the automatic adding of the languages menu only after June 2020, because we are targetting LTS releases of MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle

- The topic of copying the contents of a translatable page without the <!-T:x--> tags came up and a solution was found. To achieve this, add /en to the path of the page like so: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.3/en and edit the page.
You should always do a fresh start for a new page, never bringing in old automatically generated translation tags.
