Comment (by Paddy Landau):

 @apieschel — Thank you. I don't have a local development environment, so I
 manually changed the two files according to your 48937.3.diff (after
 making a suitable backup, of course).

 The system seemed to work perfectly.

 A couple of things…

 * I'm wondering if the wording, "Will reload soon…" is misleading. To the
 non-technical person, it sounds as though the website is running again. I
 would prefer something like "Will recheck soon" or even just "Rechecking…"
 Words like "loading" and "reload" are technical, and you'd be surprised
 how few laypeople know what it really means.

 * You asked, "Would it be a better solution to just add a wp-
 content/maintenance.php template to core?" Well, if the only language were
 English, yes, I'd agree, absolutely. But, from the little that I
 understand about WordPress, this doesn't allow for translations into other
 languages. Maybe it's possible to add the translation API directly into
 wp-content/maintenance.php? Unfortunately, I know nothing about how
 WordPress handles different languages.

 Thank you again for your work!
