How is the work done on translatewiki.net connected to other wikis?
When translations, new or updated, are ‘committed’ what happens is that the master copy of wiki software kept at MediaWiki.org is updated. This process is explained on Translating:Process#Getting things into Wikimedia, other MediaWikis, and other products. This master copy on MediaWiki.org is used: • as the sourcecode for each new wiki set up by Wikimedia or any other person • for updating the default mediawiki messages for all Wikimedia projects including all the Wikipedias, Commons, all Wiktionaries, etc. • this updating process should happen within about a week of the updated code being committed to MediaWiki, but can take longer • for adding the messages that have not yet been updated to the production software by way of the LocalisationUpdate extension.
