September 2025 focused on improving localization automation and docs quality: introduced per-file manual translation in CI with a file-name parameter and an asset fetch script, added i18n release branch triggers, and fixed a TOC generator bug to correctly skip allowlist lines. These changes enhance release velocity, translation accuracy, and docs build reliability.

Aug 2025 (pingcap/docs): Delivered two changes to the translation workflow and fixed a reliability issue with variables.json copying. The work spans three commits across one feature and one bug fix. Key outcomes include: - Translation Workflow Improvements: simplified translation cron dispatch by removing the inputs.branch parameter; added a step to track the latest translation commit in the workflow for progress visibility. - Variables.json Copy Reliability: ensured variables.json is correctly copied to both translator/markdowns and docs/variables.json with conditional handling for docs/tmp. Commits involved: ddb724d1db068e383ef6e8115c98f357036a5e47 (fix: simplify input parameters for translation cron workflow dispatch (#21487)), 14e6399e0b89b23db78a099286a9578972e199f6 (feat: add step to update latest translation commit info in workflow (#21540)), and 7ae45b99566223c78737bb045541e2d0bfe754a2 (fix: copy vars to translator and docs folder (#21652)).
