The news item says, If you have set LINGUAS in your make.conf, you most likely want to add its entries also to L10N. Note that while the common two letter language codes (like "de" or "fr") are identical, more complex entries have a different syntax because L10N now uses IETF language tags. (For example, "pt_BR" becomes "pt-BR" and "sr@latin" becomes "sr-Latn".) I can't tell from your posts what make.conf changes you actually made, if any. If you still need to make changes -- some packages are already using L10N now -- focus just on that one bit of the allegedly unclear news item and if it really is confusing ask about just that bit.
