Content translation/Documentation/FAQ/fr

Voici les questions posées fréquemment à propos de la Traduction de contenu.



La traduction de contenu, c'est quoi ?
C'est un projet qui comprend un ensemble d'outils et de pratiques qui aident les contributeurs à créer un nouvel article basé sur un article correspondant sur le même sujet dans une langue différente.

Il est disponible sur Wikipédia dans toutes les langues depuis 2015.



C'est quoi CX ? et pourquoi pas CT ?
CX est l'abréviation de Content Translation. Il ne peut pas être abrégé en CT car ces lettres sont déjà utilisées pour l'extension.



Faut il lire ContentTranslation ou Traduction de contenu ?
ContentTranslation est le nom technique de l'extension MediaWiki qui rend ce projet possible.

Pour tout le reste, il est préférable d'écrire Traduction de contenu.

Le nom peut et doit être traduit dans les autres langues, sous forme de mots séparés, et capitalisé selon les règles des langues respectives.



Puis-je utiliser la Traduction de contenu pour modifier les articles existants ?
Non.

Vous pouvez publier le même titre. Si vous le faites, un avertissement va s'afficher. Si vous publiez en dépit de l'avertissement, la Traduction de contenu va créer une nouvelle version. Les anciennes versions sont préservées dans l'historique mais votre nouvelle version ne les prendra pas en compte.

La traduction des sections est une nouvelle fonctionnalité en cours de développement; elle permettra de traduire une seule section et de l'ajouter à une page créée, sans supprimer les autres sections existantes.



C'est quoi CX2 ?
C'est une version majeure de la Traduction de contenu qui a été diffusée pour la première fois en septembre 2018. Elle conserve l'architecture de la Traduction de contenu mais plusieurs fonctionnalités ont été grandement mises à jour. En particulier elle intègre : en tant qu'environnement d'édition, l'alignement amélioré des paragraphes, et plusieurs modifications concernant la prise en charge des modèles. Depuis octobre 2018, CX2 est encore en développement. Vous pouvez essayer la nouvelle version en cliquant sur Try the new version dans le tableau de bord de la Traduction de contenu.

La version avant CX2 est appelée CX1.

Pour plus d'informations sur CX2, voir.



C'est quoi CX3 ?
C'est une version majeure de la Traduction de contenu développée durant l'année 2020. Elle est connue quelques fois sous le nom de projet Boost, Traduction de section, et SX. Elle comprend : une meilleure adaptation pour les appareils mobiles, la capacité de traduire des sections plutôt que les articles complets, des nouveaux points d'accès, et d'autres fonctionnalités. Pour plus d'informations, voir.



Existe-t-il un manuel utilisateur pour cet outil ?
Oui, voir le Guide utilisateur de la Traduction de contenu. Vous pouvez aussi le traduire dans votre langue.



Est-ce que la traduction du contenu est une traduction machine ou un outil de traduction automatique ?
Aucunement.

La Traduction de contenu est un environnement de travail pour les éditeurs de wiki qui sont des humains et qui aident à créer la première version d'un article en traduisant un article qui existe déjà dans une autre langue. Elle aide automatiquement à traduire les images, les liens, les notes de bas de page, les modèles et quelques autres éléments de mise en forme.

Pour certaines paires de langues, elle possède également une option pour intégrer un service de traduction automatique. Les services actuellement pris en charge sont Apertium, Google Translate, Matxin, Yandex.Translate, et Youdao. Il est possible que d'autres services soient ajoutés à l'avenir.



Y-a-t-il un intérêt dans cette fonctionnalité ?
Absolument, et c'était très clair même avant que le développement ne soit commencé : dans le passé, il y a eu tant de tentatives pour faire des outils similaires que leur nombre n'est même pas calculable. Certains sont listés sur Tentatives pour traduire automatiquement (vous pouvez compléter la liste si vous en connaissez d'autres).

Depuis octobre 2018, plus de 40,000 utilisateurs ont créé plus de 370,000 articles en l'utilisant depuis qu'il a été activé en janvier 2015. Plus de 500 utilisateurs ont créé plus de 100 articles en utilisant la Traduction automatique pour chacun d'eux. Il est donc plus que certain qu'il existe une demande pour cela.



En quoi l'outil de Traduction de contenu diffère-t-il de l'extension Translate ?
L'extension Translate a été initialement codée dans le but de traduire les messages de l'interface utilisateur présents dans le logiciel MediaWiki et les autres programmes. Par conséquent elle est conçue pour garder les traductions synchronisées avec la langue source, tandis que chaque édition de langue d'un projet Wikimedia est supposée être indépendante et ne pas refléter la langue source.

Afin de fournir ses fonctionnalités avancées sur les pages des wikis MediaWiki, l'extension Translate nécessite une préparation à la traduction des pages source par l'ajout d'un balisage supplémentaire, qui ne peut pas encore être géré visuellement. Ceci étant dit, le wikicode perturbe la plupart des éditeurs et nous ne souhaitons pas le présenter aux traducteurs de la Traduction de contenu.



Est-elle disponible pour tous les utilisateurs d'un wiki ?
Elle est disponible pour les utilisateurs connectés du wiki où elle a été activée, et doit être débloquée dans les fonctionnalités bêta des Préférences de l'utilisateur.

Progressivement elle sera sortie des fonctionnalités bêta et convertie en réelle préférence utilisateur.



Si j'essaie d'utiliser la Traduction de contenu, j'obtiens une page blanche et rien ne fonctionne. Comment corriger cela ?
Dans la plupart des cas, c'est que le code du JavaScript local de votre wiki est trop ancien, ce qui le rend incompatible avec la Traduction de contenu. Ce code apparaît habituellement dans les Gadgets, les scripts des utilisateurs, ou dans Common.js. Si vous venez d'activer un gadget ou si vous avez modifié un script utilisateur, essayez de le désactiver. Si cela règle le problème, parlez-en aux mainteneurs du gadget sur votre wiki en leur demandant de le corriger.

On détecte habituellement l'incompatibilité en allant sur Special:CX et en recherchant la ligne du code source en faute sur la console JavaScript de votre navigateur. En général, c'est parce que l'élément  est utilisé dans le code JavaScript. Cet élément n'est pas disponible dans Special:CX, vous devez modifier le code JavaScript et voir si  y est présent.

Si cette explication est trop difficile ou ne vous convient pas, veuillez rapporter le problème dans Talk:CX, et si possible, avertir les personnes en charge de la maintenance des gadgets et des scripts utilisateurs de votre wiki.



Comment les liens grisés inter-langue sont-ils ajoutés à la liste des liens inter-langues ?
Si vous avez activé la Traduction de contenu dans vos préférences utilisateur ou en tant que fonctionnalité bêta, la Traduction de contenu va quelques fois ajouter jusqu'à trois liens grisés inter-langues vers les articles Wikipedia. Un lien grisé apparait quand l'article n'est pas disponible dans la langue cible désignée. Les langues cible associées (pas plus de trois) sont choisies pour chaque utilisateur dans l'ordre suivant :


 * 1) La langue de l'interface utilisateur, comme sélectionnée dans les préférences (elle peut être différente de la langue du contenu du wiki).
 * 2) La langue de l'interface utilisateur des menus du navigateur.
 * 3) La langue préférée de l'utilisateur pour le contenu, telle que définie dans les préférences du navigateur.
 * 4) Les langues que l'utilisateur a précédemment utilisées dans le panneau de sélection des langues.



Ne peut-on l'utiliser que pour traduire des articles Wikipedia ?
Le but du développement initial est de traduire les articles de Wikipedia. A l'avenir elle peut être étendue à Wikivoyage et d'autres sites.



Quelles sont les étapes pour créer un nouvel article avec l'outil de traduction de contenu ?
Le point d'entrée principal de la Traduction de contenu est la présence d'un bouton sur votre page de contribution :


 * 1) Cliquez sur ' dans votre barre personnelle (près de ').
 * 2) Cliquez sur ' et sélectionnez '.
 * 3) Cliquez sur .
 * 4) Select the language from which you want to translate in the "From:" field, and type the name of the article in that language.
 * 5) Select the language to which you want to translate and type how the new article will be called.
 * 6) Cliquez sur . Ceci vous emmène vers l'interface de traduction.
 * 7) Entrez la traduction de chaque paragraphe dans la colonne de traduction. Il n'est pas nécessaire de traduire tous les paragraphes. Traduisez autant que nécessaire pour le wiki dans votre langue.
 * 8) Jusqu'à ce que vous publiez, la traduction est régulièrement sauvegardée de manière automatique, donc pas de crainte de la perdre. To come back to an article that you started translating, repeat steps 1 and 2 and select the article from the list that you'll see.
 * 9) When you wrote everything you want for the first version of the new translated article, click "". This will create a new article in the wiki in the target language with the title that is given at the top of the translation column.



C'est quoi les Suggestions dans le tableau de bord ?
"Suggestions" are personalized automatically-generated links to translating articles that exist in one language but not in another. They are generated based on the articles that the user who is viewing the CX dashboard translated recently, and on frequently-read articles in one language that don't exist in other languages. So for example if you translated an article about a city in India, you are likely to see more suggestions to translate more articles about cities in India. And if there is an article about the recently-elected president of Slovakia in English, but not in your language, you are likely to see a suggestion to translate it.

<span id="How_can_I_read_a_suggested_article_in_the_source_language_before_I_translate_it?">

Comment lire un article suggéré dans sa langue source avant de le traduire ?
Cliquez sur le nom de la langue.

For example, if the suggestion is to translate an article from English to Italian, you will see "English > Italiano" at the bottom of the suggestion row. Le mot Anglais sera un lien vers l'article en anglais.

<span id="How_does_Content_Translation_handle_links?">

Comment la traduction de contenu gère-t-elle les liens ?
Les liens seront automatiquement insérés dès qu'un lien correspondant sera trouvé parmi les liens interlangue.

Autres manières d'ajouter des liens :


 * Selecting a word in the translation which is spelled the same as the target article, and clicking "" in the sidebar.
 * Selecting a word in the translation, and clicking a link in the source column. S'il existe un article correspondant dans la langue cible, un lien vers celui-ci sera ajouté.
 * En sélectionnant un mot de la traduction et en ajoutant un lien vers toute page utilisant l'outil et qui apparaît dans la barre latérale. Par défaut, une liste des cibles disponibles et adaptables s'affiche sous l'outil de liens.

How does Content Translation handle categories? Can I add categories or use HotCat?
Content Translation automatically adapts categories for which there is a directly-corresponding category in the target language. The correspondence is derived through interlanguage links.

If you use CX1, if you want to add more categories to an article, it will have to be done after the initial version is created.

If you use CX2, you can add more categories during translation by typing their name at the bottom of the categories list in the translation column.

<span id="How_does_Content_Translation_handle_references?">

Comment la traduction de contenu gère les références ?
The tool will try to adapt references as much as possible between the source and target languages.

If you delete a reference from the translation, you can add it back by placing the caret where you want to add the reference, clicking the reference in the source column and then clicking "Add reference".

Adapting references may be challenging given that different languages use different citation formats. If there is a reference that you cannot adapt, or that is adapted incorrectly, please report a bug.

<span id="Is_it_possible_to_edit_references_in_Content_Translation?">

Est-il possible de modifier les références dans la traduction de contenu ?
Adding references is not possible in CX1. You can only to copy them as-is. You can change them or add your own references after creating the article.

In CX2 you can add, edit, and delete references similarly to how it is done in Visual Editor.

<span id="Can_I_copy_images_over_from_the_source_article?">

Puis-je copier les images à partir de l'article source ?
Yes, images will be copied just like paragraphs - simply by clicking. The translator will have to type the caption, of course.

It works only if the image is stored in a common media repository (for Wikimedia projects this is Commons). It doesn't work for files stored in the projects locally. It also won't work if the image is a part of a template, such as an infobox; however, it may be possible to adapt the image if the template is adapted.

<span id="What_does_it_mean_to_publish_the_article?">

Cela signifie quoi quant à la publication de l'article ?
The publishing of the article is the same as creating a revision of a wiki page - it has a date, the revision author's username and an edit summary, it appears in Recent Changes, etc.

<span id="How_are_the_writers_of_the_source_article_credited?">

Comment sont crédités les auteurs des articles source ?
The creators of the source article are credited in a link to the revision of the source article from which the translation was made, which is added automatically to the edit summary of the published version. This is compatible with the CC BY-SA license and with Wikimedia's Terms of Use, which require you as the re-user to give attribution "through hyperlink [...] to the page or pages that you are re-using".

<span id="Will_the_previous_revisions_of_the_translated_be_imported_when_I_am_translating?">

Est-ce que les versions précédentes de la traduction seront importées quand je vais traduire ?
Not automatically.

In Wikipedia in some languages, such as German, there is a custom of importing the revisions of the article that was translated so that they appear in the history as if they were made before the first actually translated revision. This can be done with articles that were created using Content Translation in the same way.

<span id="Can_I_continue_translating_after_publishing?">

Puis-je continuer à traduire après avoir publié ?
At the moment Content Translation is focused on creating the first version of the article. After publishing, the translation cannot be loaded as such from the dashboard, and the published page must be edited as a usual wiki page.

There is a plan to make it possible to add translated paragraphs to already-published pages.

Will Content Translation use information from Wikidata?
Yes, in several ways:


 * Interlanguage links from Wikidata are used to auto-fill the links in the translated article.
 * When a translated article is published, a sitelink to it is added to the corresponding Wikidata item, so that an interlanguage to it appears immediately.
 * Descriptions from Wikidata are shown in the linking tool and in the article selection tool.
 * The dashboard has a link to a Wikidata-based tool that helps you find articles that don't exist in your language.

When templates in different Wikipedias will use data from Wikidata more, they will be simply picked up by Content Translation without any effort from the translator.

There are also plans to use labels and aliases in smart ways in the future.

<span id="What_are_the_translation_aids_that_will_be_made_available?">

Quelles seront les aides à la traduction disponibles ?
The current plan is:


 *  Dictionaries  - translation and definitions of words.
 *  Link adaptation  - Links will be adapted automatically when they will be available as interlanguage links to the target languages. It will be possible to make basic manipulation on them - remove them and pick them from other sources.
 * Adaptation de la catégorie - Categories that have a directly corresponding category page in the target language linked by an interlanguage link will be added to the translated page.
 * Adaptation des images - Les images sont copiées vers l'article traduit en un clic.
 * Traduction automatique et mémoire de traduction - These are similar to what is used in the Translate extension.
 * Ajout automatique du lien inter-langues. - Un lien inter-langues apparaîtra juste après avoir publié l'article.

<span id="Can_anybody_read_the_text_that_is_saved_automatically_while_I_am_writing_the_translation?">

N'importe qui peut-il lire le texte sauvegardé automatiquement pendant que je traduis ?
Non. Il n'est accessible que par le traducteur jusqu'au moment de sa publication.

<span id="Will_you_provide_suggestions_from_translation_memory?">

Ferez-vous des suggestions à partir de la mémoire de traduction ?
Ceci est prévu dans une fonctionnalité à venir.

The data for translation memory will have to be filled from some initial translations, so it may take a while from the time that translation memory is enabled for Content Translation until it becomes useful.

<span id="How_good_are_the_articles_created_using_Content_Translation?">

Quel niveau de qualité ont les articles créés avec la traduction de contenu ?
As good as any other articles are created in Wikipedias in the respective languages. Since the deployment of Content Translation as a beta feature in some languages in January 2015 until November 2015 about 30,000 articles were created. In July 2015 CX became enabled as a beta in all languages, and since then till November 2015 less than 10% of the articles created using CX were deleted. For comparison, the rate of deletion of articles that are created using the wiki syntax editor goes up to 50% in English.

The articles that were not deleted developed as usual Wikipedia articles: people fixed layout, added or edited paragraphs, added templates, improved references, and so on. Usually these improvements were done both by the person who created the first version and by other wikipedians.

There is no machine translation for my language. How is Content Translation useful to me and my wiki?
By itself Content Translation is not a machine translation tool. Its primary focus is to help people to create translated wiki pages as efficiently as possible. It includes tools that are tightly integrated with MediaWiki and its usual content creation and editing workflow: display of the source and the translation side-by-side; adaptation of links, categories, images and text formatting; publishing to different namespaces; interlanguage links These features are already supposed to make typing translated articles by hand easier.

This is not just theory. Content Translation was enabled in the French Wikipedia on March 31 2015 and by June 7 it was used to create 500 articles, even though machine translation was not available.

The fact is that machine translation is not available for the majority of languages in which there are Wikipedias, so most language pairs will only be able to use Content Translation as a tool to translate articles manually with the above adaptation tools. If you want to help create a machine translation engine for your language, see How can I improve machine translation support for my language?

Machine translation to my language is bad, and it's easier to translate manually. How is Content Translation useful to me and my wiki?
As written in the previous answer, Content Translation is not by itself a machine translation tool, but a tool to create translated wiki pages. It is designed to be useful even without machine translation.

Machine translation works quite well in some languages, and then it can make the translators' work even more efficient. Machine translation support for a language pair is enabled after testing and approval from people who know the language well.

If machine translation support for your language is enabled, but you don't want to use it, you can disable it and still enjoy the other tools, such as link, category, and image adaptation, as well as dictionaries (if available for your language).

<span id="How_are_you_integrating_machine_translations?">

Comment intégrez-vous les traductions automatiques ?
For language in which machine translation is supported in Content Translation, machine translation will be auto-filled upon clicking a paragraph in the translation area. Initially we're using the Apertium engine, which is free software and can be installed and maintained on our own servers. At a later point we may use Moses and other engines. In November 2015 we added Yandex for limited use between English to Russian and in the months after that we enhanced this to most languages that Yandex supports. We have added more machine translation services since then - Matxin and Youdao. You can read more about the process in the page dedicated to machine translation systems in Content Translation.

Content Translation just pastes the same text from the source article. How do I actually make it translate the content?
First of all, it's important to understand that Content Translation by itself is not a machine translation tool. The translation is supposed to be done by humans. For some languages machine translation is integrated, but even then it is always supposed to be fixed by the translator.

If Content Translation supports machine translation to your language, you'll be able to enable it in the "Automatic translation" card that appears in the sidebar when you click a paragraph.

If machine translation to your language is not supported, you will only have two options: to retype the information that is initially pasted in the source language, or to disable it entirely in the "Automatic translation" card and type everything by yourself. In all cases you'll be able to use other tools, such as link, image and reference adaptation.

What languages are being handled by Yandex? Are there plans to add more?
Yandex is available at present for more than 70 languages. As Yandex’s language coverage expands we will consider enabling them for Content Translation. Please note: Yandex machine translation will not be available when creating pages into English.

<span id="How_is_using_Yandex_different_than_using_Apertium?">

Quelle est la différence entre l'utilisation de Yandex et celle de Apertium ?
As a user of Content Translation you will not feel any difference on the translation interface as the machine translation system of Yandex will display the translated content in the same way Apertium currently does for the supported 45 language pairs.

<span id="How_is_the_machine_translation_being_done_if_I_choose_Yandex?">

Comment se passe la traduction automatique quand je choisis Yandex ?
Yandex provides a free for use API key that allows websites and other services to use their translation system. Content Translation also uses a unique API key to access this service on Yandex's server. When a user starts translating an article, the HTML content of each section of the source article is sent to the Yandex server and a translated version is obtained and displayed on the respective translation column of Content Translation. Links and references are adapted as usual and users can modify the content as required.

This process continues for all the sections of the article being translated. For better performance, the translations for consecutive sections are pre-fetched. The user can save the unpublished translation (to work on it again at a later time) or publish the article in the usual manner. The article is published on Wikipedia like any other normal article with appropriate attribution and licenses.

You can view a diagram of the process.

Yandex is not based on open source software. Why are we using it?
Content Translation evolved from a long-standing need to bridge the gap in the amount of content between Wikipedias in different languages. Like all other software used on Wikimedia sites, Content Translation is also open source. In this particular case as well, we are using an open source client to interact with the external service and import freely licensed content in order to help users expand our free knowledge.

To use Yandex’s machine translation system we are not adding any proprietary software in the Content Translation code, or on the Wikimedia websites and servers. The service is free of charge and available for everyone.

Only the freely available Wikipedia article content (in segments) is sent to the Yandex service and the obtained translated content is freely usable on Wikipedia pages. The translated content can be modified by users and this data is also available publicly under a free license through the Content Translation API. This is a valuable resource made available for the community to develop open source translation services for those languages where they don't exist yet.

After studying the implications carefully, we found the fact that the content was stored previously in a closed source service does not limit the freedom of our knowledge or our software in the present or the future. We have taken special care to make sure that the content provided is freely licensed to make sure it complies with Wikipedia policies. This includes a long process for legal and technical evaluation and compliance. The summary of the terms of use is also available.

From user feedback we have seen that machine translation support is really helpful for users and we want to support all languages in the best way. Guided by the principles of Wikimedia Foundation’s resolution to support free and open source software, we will prioritise the integration of open source services whenever they are available for a language. Apertium has been a critical part of Content Translation since its inception, but currently it only provides machine translations for 45 of the numerous possible language combination that Wikipedia can support.

Should I be worried about my personal information when using Yandex?
Irrespective of the service being used, you can be sure that only Wikipedia content from existing articles is sent and only freely licensed content will be added back to the translation. No personal information is sent and communication with those services happen at the server side, so they are isolated from the user device. Please refer to this diagram for more details.

What if Yandex is the only machine translation tool available and I don’t want to use it?
Machine Translation is an optional feature in Content Translation that you can easily disable at will. If more machine translation systems are added for your languages, you can choose to enable MT again and select the MT service of your choice.

<span id="Will_the_content_translated_by_Yandex_be_free_for_use_in_Wikipedia?">

Est-ce que le contennu traduit par Yandex sera libre d'utilisation dans Wikipedia ?
Yes. The content received from Yandex is otherwise freely available on the Yandex web translation platform. Content Translation receives it via an API key to make it seamlessly available on the translation interface. This content can be modified by the users (if necessary) and used in Wikipedia articles under free licenses.

<span id="Can_this_content_be_used_for_improving_machine_translation_systems_in_general?">

Est-ce que ce contenu peut être utilisé pour améliorer les systèmes de traduction automatique en général ?
Yes. Translations made in Content Translation are saved in our database. This information will be made publicly available for anyone to use as translation examples to improve their translation services (from University research groups, open source projects to commercial companies, anyone!). The content can be accessed via the Content Translation API. Please note, only information related to translated text is publicly available. This includes - source and translated text, source and target language information and an identifier for the segment of text.

Apertium
Apertium is an open source rule-based machine translation engine. If you know your language well and you know programming you can try adding support for your language to Apertium.

Contribute to an existing Apertium pair, or create a new one!

Get in contact with the Apertium community with IRC,, or many other ways.

<span id="Statistical_machine_translation_engines">

Moteurs statistiques de traduction automatique
Statistical machine translation engines such as Google, Yandex, and others, need a lot of texts in different languages. If your language is poorly supported in these engines, or not supported in them at all, the best thing that you can do to contribute to the development of machine translation into your language is to translate as many articles as possible into it. This will take effort and time, but that's how it works.

Why doesn't Content Translation use the wiki syntax editor?
Because it should be easier for translators who are beginners with Wikipedia editing, and because it was much easier to implement features the adaptation of references, images and links, as well as machine translation integration in an HTML-based WYSIWYG editor. Content Translation is an article creation tool rather than an article editing tool. Because it is not supposed to be a full-fledged article editing environment, it only provides the most basic formatting tools. After an article is created, it can be edited in the VisualEditor or in the source editor, just like any other article.

In more technical terms, Content Translation uses a simple HTML "contenteditable" element that is available in modern browsers. It transforms the source article's HTML to the translation, and when publishing the article as a wiki page, it converts the translation to wikitext using Parsoid. At the moment, Content Translation does not use the VisualEditor for editing the translation, though this may be done in the future.

As of mid-2016, there is no plan to add the ability to write the translation in wiki syntax in Content Translation. There is a possibility that this will happen in the future, however, for example by integrating the 2017 wikitext editor that was developed by the Visual Editor team.

If you are concerned about the quality of the wiki syntax, you can publish your translation to user or draft space by changing the target title appropriately.

<span id="Are_you_building_on_other_efforts_as_well?">

Portez-vous vos efforts sur d'autres points également ?
There was a lot of research on the topic, see Machine translation. For instance: «The quantitative results show that the contributions can improve the accuracy of a combination of RBMT-SPE pipeline at around 10 %, after the post-edition of 50,000 words in the Computer Science domain. We believe that these conclusions can be extended to MT engines involving other less-resourced languages lacking big parallel corpora or frequently updated lexical knowledge». (10.1007/978-3-642-35085-6_4)

<span id="Can_the_machine-translated_content_be_edited_manually?">

Le contenu de la traduction automatique peut-il être corrigé manuellement ?
Yes, and it should be!

We treat machine translation only as a tool that may help a human translator be faster. Publishing machine-translated articles is not the intention of Content Translation, and it is actively discouraged.

<span id="Will_there_be_a_feature_to_prevent_bulk_publishing_of_unedited_machine_translated_text?">

Y aura-t-il une fonctionnalité pour empêcher la publication en masse de textes traduits automatiquement et non modifiés ?
Yes! We take article quality seriously. Machine translation is only a tool that helps the translator be more efficient, and the developers understand well that all translations must be edited by a human. The translation interface will show a warning if the translator will try to publish an article that only has machine translation. The developers will work with the editing communities to adjust this for the needs of every language.

<span id="What_dictionaries_will_be_available?">

Quels dictionnaires seront disponibles ?
The dictionaries will be initially taken from free dictionaries from the freedict project. Later other dictionaries may be added, such as Wiktionary, OmegaWiki, terminology collections, and possibly other open sites.

<span id="How_will_templates_be_handled?_How_are_you_handling_infoboxes?">

Comment allez-vous gérer les modèles ? et les boîtes d'information ?
Since November 2016 it is possible to edit templates in Content Translation. For each template, three options are given:


 * Skip the template.
 * Transfer the template's source code as-is to the translation.
 * If a corresponding template exists in the target language, insert that corresponding template and edit its parameters one by one.

For more information about template support in Content Translation, see the page.

<span id="Is_it_possible_to_insert_a_template_using_Content_Translation?">

Peut-on insérer un modèle en utilisant la traduction de contenu ?
If you use CX2, you can insert templates just like in Visual Editor.

It's not possible in CX1.

<span id="Will_I_be_able_to_use_the_ULS_input_methods?">

Pourrai-je utiliser les méthodes d'entrées ULS ?
Yes!

<span id="Can_I_point_the_Translation_guidelines_link_to_a_local_page_in_my_home_wiki?">

Le lien vers les Règles de traduction peut-il pointer sur une page locale de mon wiki d'accueil ?
Yes. To do this, a user with appropriate permissions must edit the page MediaWiki:Cx-tools-view-guidelines-link.

<span id="When_will_this_be_available_on_Wikipedia_in_my_language?">

Quand cela sera-t-il disponible sur Wikipedia dans ma langue ?
All Wikipedias are supported since July 8, 2015.

<span id="Where_can_I_find_more_technical_details_about_the_tool?">

Où puis-je trouver d'autres détails techniques à propos de l'outil ?
Commencez par les pages suivantes : <span id="Can_I_set_up_the_Content_Translation_extension_on_my_local_wiki?">

Puis-je configurer la traduction de contenu sur mon wiki local ?
Yes. Just install the extension and follow the configuration guide. The default configuration has a bias for Wikipedia, so be sure to set it up correctly for your wiki.

<span id="What_is_cxserver?">

C'est quoi un cxserver ?
The ContentTranslation extension works from the outset with multiple wikis and it needs to synchronize information between them. To make this possible, it uses an additional component called "cxserver". It also optimizes much of the connection to translation tools, such as dictionaries, machine translation, etc.

<span id="Does_it_work_in_Microsoft_Internet_Explorer?">

Comment cela fonctionne avec Microsoft Internet Explorer ?
Content Translation has the same browser support policy as VisualEditor. It is supposed to work in browsers listed as "Modern / Grade A" on the page Compatibility. Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and newer versions are supported. Don't expect it to work on versions 10 or older.

 * GWT (Given-When-Then) : GWT is a semi-structured way to write down test cases. They can either be tested manually or automated as browser tests with Selenium.
 * lemmatization
 * also called stemming. Mapping multiple grammatical variants of the same word to a root form; e.g. (swim, swims, swimming, swam, swum) -> swim. Derivational variants are not usually mapped to the same form (so happiness !-> happy).


 * link localization
 * Converting a wiki article link from one language to another language with the help of wikidata. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea becomes http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar


 * machine translation (MT)
 * Initial translation made by computer algorithms to help translating faster.


 * morphological analysis
 * mapping words into morphemes, e.g. swims -> swim/3rdperson_present


 * parallel bilingual text
 * two versions of the same content, each written in a different language.


 * segmented
 * reduced in segments


 * segment
 * Smallest unit of text which is fairly self-contained grammatically. This usually means a sentence, a title, a phrase in a bulleted list, etc.


 * segmentation algorithm
 * rules to split a paragraph into segments. Weakly language-dependent (sensible default rules work quite well for many languages).


 * sentence alignment
 * matching corresponding sentences in parallel bilingual text. In general this is a many-many mapping, but it is approximately one-one if the texts are quite strict translations.


 * service
 * Things like MT, TM, Glossary


 * service providers
 * External systems which provide a service. Example: Google


 * source column
 * the column showing the segmented article in source language.


 * template destruction
 * inlining a template contents when suitable template does not exist in the target wiki


 * tools column
 * the column where cards appear


 * translation column
 * the column where the translation is done.


 * translation memory (TM)
 * A service which suggests translations based on previous translations.


 * translation tools (translation support tools, translation aids)
 * Context-aware translation tools like MT, Dictionary, link localization


 * word alignment
 * matching corresponding words in parallel bilingual text. This is strongly many-many.


 * translation dashboard
 * Listing of all translations of a user. A new translation can also be started from here.

L'outil de Traduction de contenu se bloque quand j'appuie sur . Comment sortir de cet état ? Comment être sûr que cela ne se reproduira pas pour ce même article ?
<span id="Escape_way_from_the_freeze">

Manière d'échapper au blocage
Forcez le navigateur à quitter (il n'y a aucune garantie)

<span id="Prevent_recurrence">

Empêcher la récurrence
Supprimez le texte qui semble être la cause du blocage.

At that time, cut the text using the visual editor of the content translation tool, and save it to another location using the usual visual editor.

As a precautionary measure, be sure to empty the entire paragraph using "", rather than just removing the text.

Once published, add the text you saved earlier and make any necessary corrections.

Veuillez apporter des solutions aux bogues supposés.
<span id="Using_the_source_code_editor">

Utiliser l'éditeur de code source
Although it is a specification rather than a bug, the content translation tool does not have a source code editor. So, in some case, it can be difficult to determine what causes the error. At this time, RUN the visual editor on another page such as your own sandbox, and COPY the suspicious text with the visual editor of the content translation tool, and PASTE it to the sandbox. Now, you can use source code editor on your sandbox.

<span id="Edit_filters_behave_improperly_in_content_translation">

Les filtres d'édition ne se comportent pas correctement avec la traduction de contenu
Edit filters may behave improperly in content translation.

(An example and about its causes see Topic: Virkxk0741k38j8l, Topic: Vjsragp1ufrx9b18.)

Workaround: Remove paragraphs, etc. that were subject to errors, perform separate translation work, and add them after "publishing" the content translation.

<span id="User-provided_categories_added_to_the_translation_are_ignored_when_published">

Les catégories fournies par l'utilisateur et ajoutées à la traduction sont ignorées à la publication
Ce problème a déjà été rapporté dans phab:T242613.

Contournement : en parallèle du travail sur la Traduction de contenu, préparez-les avec un éditeur de texte et ajoutez-les après publish.
