@dr0ptp4kt can I suggest we punt this to sprint k?
The new language switcher is not going to be done this sprint and I'd like us to collect at least a weeks worth of data before even pushing to production.

@Nirzar wants to run a usability test before pushing this out.
We should look at data before pushing this to stable.

@Nirzar, any feedback from the usability test?

@dr0ptp4kt the language switcher and overlay just went to Beta on Thursday. Research has done the protocol and will test it with this week usability labs

@Nirzar @dr0ptp4kt what is the status of this? moving it to the new language switcher epic, but it might not be relevant anymore

No config has been created for this purpose just yet. Making it a subtask was the right call - thanks!

Should we actually make this a Wednesday and then make the other one a Tuesday deploy? That way we'd have Thursday open for clearing up issues should they surface.

Change 303003 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jdlrobson):
Promote new language switcher to all wikis

This has been marked for inclusion in Tech News. Asking just to be on the safe side to make sure I'm not missing anything, the important piece of information is that:

a) the language button is moving for mobile users and
b) this will happen on Tuesday August 9?

@Johan, thanks for asking. Yes, the change will take effect right between Tuesday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 10 in UTC time (SWAT window is 9-August 2300-2359)

Annoyingly there was a big issue in the SWAT window. I waited till 6pm but the SWAT didn't happen. I believe it's fixed now. @phuedx if there's anyway you can get the SWAT done in the early deploy window tomorrow I would be eternally grateful to avoid staying late again: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/303003

I'm currently trying to organise being available for the – much-talked-about! – European SWAT window given my restricted schedule. I'm sorry I can't be available for this @Jdlrobson.
