Run the tag_release script; if it outputs “*** edx/somerepo has openedx-release 'maybe', skipped” lines, then you should get in touch with the repo owners and ask them if they should be included in the release. If yes, then the maybe: true line should be removed from the openedx.yaml file in the repo.
(see for instance this pull request).
Pull the translation one last time
Carlos Muniz Ned Batchelder (Deactivated) Tagging you in case you would want to review, or give a direction about how strings sync can be manaully trigged
This is best done just before the branch is cut the latest the better.
- Trigger the job which pulls the translation and creates PRs (i.e. PR for fronted-app-learning: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learning/pull/973 , PR for edx-platform: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/31039 )
- If the PRs are not merged on a time, its okay (which is epxected hence the above note), leave a not about them so that we can backport the commit the after.
Why need to this: The point of doing this is that we ensure the shortest lag possible between the last time a translator review/translate string and the branch cut date. i.e. If the syncing happens on a weekly basis and we do the branch cut just a day before before the schdule release, then we would in theory lose 6 days of translation work.
