Content translation/Section translation/fr

La Traduction des sections est une extension des possibilités actuelles de la Traduction du contenu. La traduction des sections permet aux utilisateurs d'étendre les articles Wikipedia existants en traduisant les nouvelles sections. De plus, la traduction des sections est conçue pour travailler sur les appareils mobiles (en plus de la version pour ordinateur de bureau) en utilisant une architecture moderne d'interface utilisateur. De cette manière les utilisateurs auront de nouvelles possibilités pour traduire ce qui auparavent n'était pas possible avec la traduction de contenu. La traduction des sections est le projet principal de l'initiative d'encouragement (Boost initiative) dont le but est d'étendre l'utilisation de la traduction pour aider davantage de communautés à se développer. Vous trouverez ci-dessous d'autres informations concernant les wikis concernés par ce projet. Veuillez écrire votre commentaire à propos de cette initiative sur la page de discussion. Il est intéressant pour nous de connaître vos idées sur la manière d'aider les communautés à s'accroître en utilisant la traduction. D'autres détails ainsi que les mises à jour sont fournis ci-dessous.



Essayer l'outil
La traduction des sections est dans ses toutes premières phases de développement. Pour l'instant elles est disponible sur un serveur de test et les Wikipedia de quelques langues : 1=

Accès direct
La traduction de section permet de relier directement un article ou une section présélectionnée à traduire, en définissant une URL appropriée. Ceci peut être pratique pour l'intégration avec des outils externes. Par exemple vous pouvez créer un lien pour traduire l'article Moon ou la section Legal status du même article.



Points d'entrée
La traduction de section est intégrée au sélecteur de langue Wikipedia sur les mobiles. Si vous cherchez une langue dans laquelle l'article n'existe pas encore, vous pourrez en créer une traduction. Ceci n'est valable que pour les langues où la traduction de section est déjà disponible (augmentera avec le temps).





Objectifs et impact
Voici les buts principaux du projet et les métriques qui permettent de les mesurer :


 * Accroître la communauté des traducteurs. Attirer davantage d'utilisateurs à la traduction (en utilisant différents matériels) pour qu'ils restent actifs dans la durée et aident à recruter de nouveaux traducteurs.
 * Métrique : augmentation du pourcentage des nouveaux contributeurs qui ont fait leur deuxième traduction dans le mois.
 * Accroître le contenu disponible. Augmenter la couverture à la fois sur le nombre de sujets disponibles et sur leur profondeur (l'information qu'ils contiennent).
 * Métrique : doubler le nombre de traductions hebdomadaires sur les wikis sélectionnés (pour créer du contenu nouveau, ou enrichir celui existant).



Initiative d'encouragement : communautés avec un potentiel d'accroissement grâce aux traductions
La Traduction de contenu a été très efficace en prenant en charge le processus de traduction dans plusieurs communautés Wikipedia. Elle a déjà permis de créer des milliers de nouveaux articles tout en encourageant la création de traductions de bonne qualité.

We want to focus on Wikipedias with potential to grow by using translation. Research on Section translation and other initiatives to make translation in general more visible such as providing Content Translation access by default (out of beta) will involve and focus on the needs of these particular group of wikis.

This initiative is part of a long-term vision to support cross-wiki content propagation, and it is aligned with the Wikimedia Foundation plans to "Grow participation globally, focusing on emerging markets" and increasing "Worldwide readership".



Communautés ciblées
Wikipedias with less than 100K articles, a significant editing activity for the size of their wiki (more than 70 active editors), and making little use of translation currently (less than 100 translations per month).

Given the above, we initially selected the following Wikipedias: Malayalam, Bengali, Tagalog, Javanese, Albanian, and Mongolian.

As the project becomes more visible, other communities showed interest in the project, and some initiatives will be applied there too. These Wikipedias are Central Bikol and Arabic.



Considérations supplémentaires
This small group of wikis represents a much larger group of communities that can grow with the proposed improvements. Selecting a small set allows us to focus and collaborate more closely with them. Nevertheless, we expect the improvements to benefit a larger number of wikis, and users from all wikis are definitely welcome to participate.



Donnez votre avis
Please, provide any feedback in the discussion page. We are interested in hearing your ideas on how to help communities grow by using translation and Section translation in particular.

You can also check the project in Phabricator to track the progress of the different tasks and share any comment about them.

Recherche
L'équipe des Langues conduit aussi des recherches pour mieux comprendre les besoins liés à la langue dans les différents wikis. Cette recherche prend en compte également le processus d'architecture en évaluant les idées au sujet de nouvelles manières d'enrichir les articles existants et des contributions faites à partir des appareils mobiles.


 * Recherche de traductions de section &mdash; The Section Translation Design Research project evaluated current mobile prototypes with two small wikis. The project evaluated not only initial prototypes, but also a number of design changes after each round of testing. The project also supported design exploration by gathering interview data around critical assumptions of Section Translation, including the role of mobile and the relevance of article sections as a meaningful unit of translation.
 * Tests d'utilisation de la Traduction des sections &mdash; The Section Translation Usability Testing (Bengali Wikipedia) project aimed to learn about the experiences of the first editors using Section Translation on the Bengali Wikipedia.
 * Section Translation Entry Points Design Research &mdash; The Section Translation Entry Points Design Research project investigated new ways that both experienced and new editors may discover translation opportunities, especially on mobile devices.
 * Section Translation Post-Improvements Testing &mdash; The Section Translation Post-Improvements Testing (Thai Wikipedia) project provided usability testing after a number of tool improvements and at a time when it was becoming available in a greater number of wikis, including Thai Wikipedia.
 * Section Translation Feedback Survey &mdash; Survey feedback was collected with the goal of learning from the experiences of editors who used Section Translation during a Bengali Wikipedia article quality improvement competition in 2022.
