Tilman: Does this still happen?

Maybe Seddon can tell us, they're the two translation admins sending most notifications (it's not advisable to run some just for the sake of testing).

I think it happened to me only once more after I filed the bug. I will try to report each new occurrence here from now on. As Nemo points out, it can't really be tested systematically.

09:03, 29 January 2013 Tbayer (WMF) (talk | contribs | block) sent a notification about translating page Wikimedia Highlights, December 2012; languages: all languages; deadline: none; priority: medium; sent to 1233 recipients, failed for 0 recipients, skipped for 184 recipients

And so on, at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=notifytranslators

If such massive notifications work, I think we can now call this fixed. Please reopen if it happens again.

After having seen no more problems of this sort since at least the beginning of this year, I encountered a similar timeout issue with a translation notification recently. Filed it as a separate bug (for the Translate extension) since it seems to be connected with timeouts when marking pages for translation: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53769

Now separated out as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55397 after it happened once more.
