Fragment of a discussion from User talk:FriedhelmW

If the translation tool I use is correct, "Mitteilungen" means "message". "Notices" are not only grouping messages, but also page links, thanks or other notifications. And there is message notices in alerts.

Some other languages have translated "Notices" by an equivalent of "Notifications", "Announcements" or "Notes". What do you think of these options?

@Trizek (WMF): I think "message" is "Nachricht". "Mitteilungen" is "notifications".

FriedhelmW (talk)15:53, 29 July 2016

Ok, bad translation tool :)

I've checked on three different dictionaries since, and, depending of the context, that may be understood as "Messages", "Notifications" or "communications". As far as you think people will not interpret it as a only-for-messages notifications, that's fine.

@Trizek (WMF): Can you point me to an up-to-date documentation of the notification system? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notifications says it is outdated.

FriedhelmW (talk)16:34, 29 July 2016

As usual, the only up-to-date documentation is on Mediawiki.org.

@FriedhelmW, any update?

Trizek (WMF) (talk)13:02, 8 August 2016

@Trizek (WMF): The first screenshot still shows the old notification icons.

FriedhelmW (talk)15:18, 8 August 2016

Thank you for noticing this. I'll make some other screenshots.

And what about the translation? If you can confirm to me that "Mitteilungen" is not only perceived as "Messages", that would reassure me :)

@Trizek (WMF): (Last ping was wrong)

FriedhelmW (talk)18:13, 8 August 2016

Thanks (a lot!), both for your feedback and pointing out some discussions I've missed. :)
