Q1: Does this extension offer automatic integration with TranslateWiki?
Q2: IMSLP has a lot of in-wiki translated text that as far as I knot it is handled in a non-standard way. Do you think it is feasible a port to Extension:Translate? Is there any big project that has undergone such migration already? Thanks!
Q1: No. The extension provides the same functionality as in translatewiki.net, but without the community and infrastructure that translatewiki.net has. Translatewiki.net accepts only software projects, which adhere to the requirements open license and guarantee quick handling of i18n related issues.
Q2: Existing content needs to be ported manually. That is because Translate extension handles translatable pages in paragraph sized units and it can determine those automatically. And that is lot of work. You can always try it out with new content, and if it fits, start converting the old content gradually.
Hello,
I want to know how can I delete a page? Even with sql command line.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
we have a running Mediawiki in German language (de). Now we need to translate it into English(en). So I installed the Translation extension. But when I want to translate an article it seems to ignore the Default language:
grep 'wgLanguageCode' LocalSettings.php //$wgLanguageCode = "de"; $wgLanguageCode = "De";
(I tried both versions, no difference) so on the site:
Spezial:Translate&group=page|test&language=en
are no untranslated parts. But on the german site
Spezial:Translate&task=untranslated&group=page|I18n+test&language=de
it shows all the german parts as "not translated"
How can I set the Default-Language for the Translation extension. Or is there any other mistake?
This was recently implemented (rev:91796). Haven't looked into how to configure it and couldn't find a doc for it quickly. Ask in translatewiki:Special:Webchat and document, please.
We maybe want to use MediaWiki and this extension to translate some of our software products. Therefore I have some questions:
- The result of an export from the wiki are plain text files, that can be configured by templates or something, right?
- Is there a watchlist for changed translations?
- What does "outdated" mean and how do you trigger it?
- Not all translators use English as language to translate from, some want to see e.g. the German translation. Is there a way to configure the language of the translation source per language?
- What about length limits of some texts?
- Can a user be limited to translate only some languages?
Thanks in advance, --Flominator 10:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Q: "The result of an export from the wiki are plain text files, that can be configured by templates or something, right?
A: No. Whatever the translator enters as translation, is what is exported (unless you change the FFS to post process the translation).
Q: Is there a watchlist for changed translations?
A: No there is no watchlist. I know there should be some fancy stuff with RSS feeds, but I wasn't able to figure that out this quickly (don't use it myself). I use filtered RecentChanges and my own watchlist on which I put all pages that I create and edit.
Q: What does "outdated" mean and how do you trigger it?
A: Outdated is the "fuzzy" concept from gettext in Translate. It can be invoked manually by adding "!!FUZZY!!" in a translation page, and with a shell command extensions/Translate/scripts/fuzzy.php. translatewiki:Translating:Commit_MediaWiki_core may contain some interesting background information.
Q: Is there a way to configure the language of the translation source per language?
A: This was recently implemented (rev:91796). Haven't looked into how to configure it and couldn't find a doc for it quickly. Ask in translatewiki:Special:Webchat and document, please.
Q: Is it possible to set "max length" for strings?
A: No. Patches - with proper UI or configuration welcome - although UIs should allow considerably wider translated text than source texts.
Well, it works, but how it works with extensions? I have a media.i18n.php in the folder extensions with the known structure:
$allMessages = array(
'en' => array(
'media_title' => 'Title',
'media_author' => 'Author',
...
How can I use the Extension:Translate to display/translate their messages? --Jostar 08:41, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Use the standard i18n format and see the configuration documentation about MediaWiki extension groups. – Nikerabbit 08:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
The description is terrible and needs to be rewritten so the average user can understand what this extension does. What the hell is "in-wiki localisation"? Odessaukrain 01:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I completely agree. I've been browsing this page for half an hour and still don't know what it really does. wtf. --77.118.160.76 18:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
