Extension:ContentTranslation/en

The ContentTranslation extension is a tool that allows editors to translate an article from one language to another with the help of machine translation and other translation aids. See Content translation for background and additional information. The extension is being developed by the Wikimedia Language Engineering team.

Installation
The extension needs the content translation server (a.k.a. cxserver) up and running. See Content_translation/Setup for setting up the content translation server.

Translations database
This extension has an optional dashboard feature, which allows translators to see all the translations across all languages. In a multilingual installation of this extension, for example in Wikimedia wikis, a central database is required to serve the dashboard feature. To create that database, see the sql/contentranslation.sql file in the extension source code; Content translation/Database has more details. Once database is created, set the $wgContentTranslationDatabase global configuration variable as the name of database:
