Extension:TranslationNotifications/de

Die Erweiterung TranslationNotifications bietet eine Möglichkeit, die Kommunikation mit Übersetzern in einem Wiki zu verwalten, das die Erweiterung Übersetzen verwendet.

Die Erweiterung besteht aus zwei Hauptteilen:
 * Für Übersetzer: Ein Formular, in dem sich Übersetzer für Benachrichtigungen anmelden. Sie können die Sprachen angeben, in die sie übersetzen können, sowie bevorzugte Kontaktarten und die Benachrichtigungsfrequnz, einschließlich der Auswahlmöglichkeiten.
 * Für Übersetzungsmanager: Ein Formular zum Versenden von Seitenübersetzungs-Anfragen. Die Benachrichtigung wird allen Übersetzern zugestellt, die die Bedingungen entweder sofort oder später in einer E-Mail-Übersicht erfüllen.

Voraussetzungen
The extension is useful only if the Translate extension is installed and configured.

Configuration
The following configuration variables are used:

configures which contact methods are enabled. These are the default values:

and  configure the username and the password for notifying on other wikis. This must be an existing global account on the wiki family. Example:

Note that the username and the password appear in plain text, so they must not be publicly accessible (like . and ). Also note that these settings are not required if you are using this extension on a single wiki instance.

Special:TranslatorSignup
A special page where translators can sign up. Example: Special:TranslatorSignup on Wikimedia's Meta-wiki. Users can set their language preferences (first, second and third language) and the contact method such as email or talk page notifications. It's also possible to ask to be notified on a talk page on a different wiki in the same CentralAuth-based wiki family. They can also choose the frequency of notifications: always (every time there is something to translate), weekly digest or monthly digest. The email option will be available only for users who confirmed their email address.

In the case you have enabled email notification for user talk edits in the wiki of choice, you'll get it also for translation notifications, so it's probably better to select only email as method, to avoid duplicate messages.

Special:NotifyTranslators
This page is available for translation managers. They use it notify about the availability of a translatable page (notifications for other message groups are not supported). They can optionally set a deadline and a priority and add a custom message. They can also send the notification only to translators to particular languages. If no languages are set, all the translators who signed up will receive the notification.

The user right required to operate this page is 'translate-manage'. For example, to allow all sysops to use this page, add the following line to your LocalSettings.php file:

Notification configuration
The notifications - email, digest emails, talk page notifications - are done with the help of the Job Queue. You need to configure the job queue execution time as explained in the Job queue manual.

The DigestEmailer script needs to be configured using a cron job. For example, it can be scheduled to run on every Sunday 10AM using a crontab entry like the following one:

The script will not start sending emails immediately. It starts inserting email jobs to the MediaWiki job queue. Depending on the configured job queue scheduling the mails will be send out.
