Need more debugging information to see what is the cause of the recent failures at translatewiki.net.
Have you ever managed to look into the debugging output you added for Microsoft? Is that the kind of info you'd need here too? The problem for TWN started in July and seems basically continuous since then. $ grep -E "Yandex.+suspended" irclogs/FreeNode/#mediawiki-i18n.log | grep -oE "^[0-9-]{10}" | uniq -c 2 2013-06-03 5 2013-07-01 19 2013-07-02 6 2013-07-03 21 2013-07-04 18 2013-07-05 32 2013-07-06 21 2013-07-07 19 2013-07-08 14 2013-07-09 19 2013-07-10 19 2013-07-11 22 2013-07-12 9 2013-07-13 11 2013-07-14 25 2013-07-15 9 2013-07-16 21 2013-07-17 26 2013-07-18 21 2013-07-19 10 2013-07-20 $ grep -E "Yandex.+restored" irclogs/FreeNode/#mediawiki-i18n.log | grep -oE "^[0-9-]{10}" | uniq -c 1 2013-07-02 1 2013-07-06 2 2013-07-07 2 2013-07-08 1 2013-07-09 1 2013-07-12 1 2013-07-16 1 2013-07-19 1 2013-07-20
I guess this is the culprit, or related, given the dates: «On July 1, 2013 the API version 1.0 was deprecated. Starting from version 1.5, all API methods must be accessed using a key. To get your free API key, you need to fill out a simple form.» http://api.yandex.com/translate/ Terms didn't seem to change since April: http://legal.yandex.com/translate_api/ Lockal, do you know what needs doing here on the side of the code you added, if anything?

See the patch above for the fix. I'm not very happy about changes in Yandex API, but at least API keys from https://translate.yandex.com/apikeys are still free and there is no "paid quotas" like in Google. Yandex 1.5 API also only works via HTTPS, which is known to be slower than HTTP, but I can't do anything with it.

It works!
(In reply to comment #7) > It works! Now it quite does not. Niklas says it's due to "lots of timeouts and dns failures", hopefully temporary.
Well, it never went away in these months, reopening. $ grep -E "Yandex.+suspended" irclogs/FreeNode/#mediawiki-i18n.log | grep -oE "^[0-9-]{7}" | uniq -c 2 2013-06 587 2013-07 251 2013-08 304 2013-09 554 2013-10 571 2013-11 515 2013-12 287 2014-01 $ grep -E "Yandex.+restored" irclogs/FreeNode/#mediawiki-i18n.log | grep -oE "^[0-9-]{7}" | uniq -c 29 2013-07 22 2013-08 24 2013-09 43 2013-10 38 2013-11 57 2013-12 23 2014-01
