Bem-vindo ao Tradutor de Conteúdo!

Content Translation is a tool that helps editors to translate pages between languages. It helps translators to focus on typing the translation text instead of thinking about manual formatting, categories, links, images, etc.

Creating a new wiki page based on an existing one from a different language requires the use of automatic translation services, dictionaries, reformatting text, tweaking links and references, and significant amount of tab switching. Content Translation simplifies of creating translated pages by showing the translation right next to the original page, and when possible, inserting automatically details such as formatting, links, categories, and references.

Content Translation is focused on creating the first version of a translated page. After it's created, it can be edited further just like any other wiki page.

Enabling Content Translation
At the moment Content Translation is a beta feature. To use it you need to enable the feature in your beta preferences. To do this, log in to your account, click at the top of the page, check, and click Save, at the bottom of the page.



Dashboard
The dashboard is the main entry point to the translation interface.

Getting to the dashboard
There are four ways to get to the dashboard:

First way: hover your mouse pointer over the "" item in your personal menu at the top of the screen. In the menu that appears, click on "".



Second way: click the "", and then click the "" button at the top of the page.



Third way: find the page that you want to translate in the wiki in the source language, and click the target language name in the interlanguage links list in the sidebar. (This will only work if the tool is installed in the wiki in the source language, and you enabled the beta feature there.)



Fourth way: you can type "Special:CX" or "Special:ContentTranslation" in your wiki's search box.



Starting a translation

 * 1) Click the "" button.
 * 2) Select the source language, then type the name of the page that you want to translate.
 * 3) Select the target language, then type the name of the translated page that you are creating. If the name will be the same in both languages, you can leave this field blank.
 * 4) Click "" to start!

General

 * When possible, categories will be adapted automatically. They are adapted when there is a directly corresponding category in the target language according to the interlanguage link.
 * If machine translation is available for the pair of languages that you selected, the paragraph will be auto-translated when you click it. The machine translation will not be perfect; you must always correct it before publishing.
 * If machine translation is not available, the source text will be inserted, and the links will be adapted automatically.
 * Images can be adapted simply by clicking on them. You will have to type the translation for the image captions (captions will be machine-translated if machine translation is available).
 * References will be automatically adapted, though you may have to adjust them to your wiki's style after publishing.
 * Math formulas are transferred as-is.

Writing and publishing the translation

 * 1) Type the translation of each paragraph in the translation column. You don't have to translate all the paragraphs - translate as much as needed for the wiki in your language.
 * 2) Until you publish, the translation is regularly saved automatically, so you don't have to worry that you'll lose it. To come back to a page that you started translating, go back to the dashboard and select the page from the list that you'll see.
 * 3) After you have written everything you want for the first version of the new translated page, click "".

Continuing a translation
If you started translations to any language, they will appear in the dashboard. You can continue a translation by clicking on the item in the list.

You can also see a list of translations that you published by going to the dashboard and selecting "" instead of "".

Translating templates
When there are templates in the article, you can skip them, transfer their wiki syntax to the target article as-is, or translate them in detail, parameter-by-parameter. For a detailed guide to translating templates and making them more easily translatable, see the page Content translation/Templates.
