Hi Nemo, yes, I had noticed a while ago that Special:ImportTranslations is now
available. However, I backed off after noticing that a) this bug had not been
closed yet and b) that the export function, while recommended in the
documentation for offline translation and linked in the translation interface
on Meta, gave a "not supported" error. (In the meantime, I have again resorted
to importing translations by bot instead.)


I have now looked into it again and tried to import .po files on Meta and on
testwiki. After figuring out the file format (which would be much easier if the
export function were available), and manually adding a missing interface
message (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Translate-manage-import-done
), I reached the point where the software indicates that the import is complete
("All done"). However, no translations are actually imported - according to the
recent translation changes page and the logs, nothing happened at all. 

Before I spend even more time on this and file a separate bug for this problem,
it would be great if someone from the language engineering team could do a
quick verification that the import function is actually working at all on
Meta-wiki, i.e. that is has imported at least one file successfully. At that
point we could probably close this bug. If it's necessary to open a separate
bug for the missing export function, then so be it.
