Nope, Kitty hasn't been around for years.

You don't need to make it translatable at all. Just concatenate if that feels easier for you, but keep in mind that when you do need something to be translatable that you must use stringx.vformat (or string.format is fine too).

Regarding how invulnerable works, it just forces the hit chance to zero.

Sorry, that one I'm not sure about.

I'm not quite sure if this will work, but you could try this:
Completely hypothetical and untested. I'm not even sure if a close() function exists.

I think translating wiki stuff is probably better done using wiki-specific methods rather than something like po4a, especially since po4a doesn't support MediaWiki markup. For example, this extension (which is not installed on our wiki though). From my perspective, the flow you've outlined seems qui...

The spinner is a very new widget, so it's possible that some essential parts of interacting with it in Lua just haven't been implemented yet. I don't know any details about it.

You can remove a sound source from the map. If it still continues to play after you do that, then that's clearly a bug.

I don't think it makes sense to use po files to translate entire pages like on the wiki. I'm not sure if there are other steps that could be taken to make wiki translation more accessible though.

I went looking, thinking there should be something that at least allows you to write definition=search or definition=filter to get the appearance of a search box, but sadly that seems to be missing. While I'm not sure if the search functionality is worth adding to core, I think the appearance would ...

wesnoth.wml_actions is the place to define new WML actions. Because of that, it is technically possible to also call a WML action via it, but doing so creates a problem – WML actions are intended to be run on substituted WML tables (ak vconfigs), but calling it manually typically ends up passing an...

Also surprised to learn that Wesnoth doesn't know where the WML originates from... I vaguely recall reading ages ago that the engine maintained namespaces and prepended campaign specific strings to every variable within said campaign to avoid name clashes between variables in different campaigns (I...

Do you mean wesnoth.audio.sources ? If I understand that correctly it handles sources that can play sound files. Not any sounds that are actively playing. The reason why this is so important for narration is that if the player skips dialogue we want to cancel the voiceover. The intended use-case fo...

Okay I'm sticking with the default one

There's a lot of functionality built in to the story screen that you would have to reimplement yourself if you wanted to alter its appearance.

For 1 you could look into the sound source functionality. It might be able to do what you want, but I'm not sure. For 3, yes, we would like to use the GPU for IPFs, but we're not quite there yet. Compiling IPFs down into shader code is possible and would probably greatly boost performance for things...
