They can and will change until a string freezeString freeze The term "string freeze" is used by the core team to mark the end of changes to the strings of an upcoming release. A string freeze also means that there will be no more strings added to the core project. Sometimes a string freeze has two phases a soft freeze and a hard freeze. A string freeze is announced on the Polyglots blog by the current release lead. for the currently developed version of WordPress has been announced.

I think the message needs to be bigger and bolder. Like bright red perhaps.

    @glueckpress So much awesome! 😀

    All blinks aside, I prefer that. 🙂

      As long as I get bragging rights that my HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. landed in w.org coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., I’m fine with red, purple, bold, borders or none of all that. 🙂
      
      Red can’t be seen really by quite a few people. I’d go for whitespace, font-weight and maybe borders to make a message stand out.

        Doesn’t need to be “red” per say, just needs to be stand out in a bold and strong way.
      - Petya Raykovska 4:30 pm on May 27, 2015
        
        Can we try what I suggested? Will stand out more and text won’t be red. Red text is painful to read.

        @petya Like so?
      - Samuel Sidler 4:58 pm on May 27, 2015
        
        @glueckpress Can you use #DC3232 on the side and give it a background color of #FBEAEA? That will match current dotorg styles.

        @samuelsidler Anything near this? I’m confident @ocean90 knows what to do with the idea, fwiw.
      - Samuel Sidler 5:29 pm on May 27, 2015
        
        @glueckpress That’s perfect. Both @ocean90 and I know how to implement such things when he’s ready. 🙂
        
        P.S. I also updated the blue of that banner in your screenshots.

        Aw yeah! Awesome, thanks Caspar!

        @samuelsidler Hey, I wasn’t assuming you wouldn’t know how to commit CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. changes. 🙂 I was trying to say whoever is going to implement this will likely make it fit to the dotorg style-guide anyhow. Since I see Dominik doing a lot around here lately, I was assuming he was going to do this one, too.

  Bright PURPLE!
  
  Let’s try paining the vertical border red and adding a “Important: Please read before you translate” on top.
