For Guix proper, I think the volume would be quite low (once per
month?).  Translators may have to react within a couple of days though,
basically while the change in question is under review.  It=E2=80=99s OK to
translate later, after the initial news has been pushed, but fewer
people will see it.

<https://translationproject.org/domain/guix-packages.html> is about
translating packages and descriptions (but not package names), but I
don=E2=80=99t see how this relates to news entries.  What do you have in mi=
nd?

The reasons I think the TP is inadequate for news entries is that the TP
is geared towards translating releases of software packages, and those
tiny snippets could come anytime and there would be no PO file for them.

Thanks,
