Hi. Re: Tech News / user-notice - What wording would you suggest as the content? I'd like to be able to add more context beyond just "The Youdao machine translation service has been deprecated". I can imagine something like this, but I'm not sure of the details, and perhaps someone has better ideas and/or links:

The Content translation system is no longer using Youdao's machine translation service. Other services which cover the same languages are still available.

Thanks!

@Quiddity, How about this?

The Content translation system is no longer using Youdao's machine translation service. The service was in place for several years, but due to no usage, and availability of alternatives it was deprecated to reduce maintenance overheads. Other services which cover the same languages are still available.

Perfect, thank you! Added to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2023/33
