Vertimo plėtinys papildo "MediaViki" esminėmis funkcijomis, reikalingomis vertimo darbui atlikti. Jį galima naudoti tūriniui, "viki" sąsajai ir net kitai programinei įrangai, kaip tai daroma svetainėje translatewiki.net, versti. "Translate" plėtinys turi lengvai naudojamą vertimo sąsają ir gali atskirti puslapio struktūrą nuo paties turinio, kurį reikia išversti, rodydamas vertėjams tik verčiamą tekstą, ir suskirstydamas turinį į lengvai valdomus vienetus/segmentus. Kiekvienas teksto segmentas stebimas dėl pakeitimų, ir vertėjai iš karto mato ką reikia atnaujinti tiek atskirame puslapyje, tiek visoje "viki".

Kiekvieną mėnesį šimtai vertėjų naudoja plėtinį "Translation" "MediaViki" naudotojo sąsajai bei kitiems programinės įrangos projektams svetainėje translatewiki.net, versti. Svetainėje userbase.kde.org jis naudojamas beveik tūkstančio puslapių tūriniui, kartu su naudotojo dokumentacija, išversti. Pradėti naudoti plėtinį "Translate" yra lengva, bet jis taip pat yra plečiamas ir turi pažangias ataskaitų teikimo, patikrinimo ir darbo eigos funkcijas.

Priemonės


Sąsaja: Pagrindinis "Translate" plėtinio ypatumas - paprasta, tačiau funkcionali vertimo sąsaja. Be tokios svarbios informacijos kaip teksto apibrėžimai ir dokumentacija, taip pat galima peržiūrėti vertimus į kitas kalbas. Jei apibrėžimai pasikeičia, jūs tuos pakeitimus matote. Į plėtinį integruotos patikros padės ištaisyti dažniausiai pasitaikančias klaidas, tokias kaip skliaustelių trūkumas arba nenaudojami kintamieji. Priklausomai nuo konfigūracijos, taip pat gali būti pasiūlymų iš jau išversto teksto ("translation memory") bei mašininio vertimo sistemų, tokių kaip Google Translate, Microsoft's Bing Translator ir Apertium.

Vertimo sąsajos patogumą naudotis pagerina "JavaScript" ir AJAX. Vidinė sąsaja ("backend") pateikia WebAPI (Aplikacijų programavimo sąsąjas), kurios gali būti naudojamos mobiliuosiose sąsajose arba sąsajose, skirtose tam tikram tūriniui. Taip pat įmanoma eksportuoti tekstą vertimui į kitus autonominius ("off-line") bei prie interneto prisijungusius ("on-line") įrankius, kurie perskaito Gettext po failo formatą.

Teksto grupės ir uždaviniai: Daugelis ypatumų pagrįsti dviem pagrindinėmis sąvokomis: teksto grupės ir uždaviniai.

Teksto grupė yra teksto vienetų/segmentų rinkinys. Vieno puslapio tūrinys būtų viena teksto grupė, kur paprasčiausiu atveju, kiekiena pastraipa būtų vienas vienetas/segmentas toje grupėje. Kiekviename "MediaViki" plėtinyje naudojamas tekstas sudaro svetainės translatedwiki.net teksto grupes, o keli ypač stambūs plėtiniai turi kelias grupes. Taip pat galite sukurti grupių grupę, kaip pvz., Visi naujienlaiškai arba Visas vertimo plėtinių tekstas. Daugelis statistinių duomenų ir uždavinių veikia teksto grupių pagrindu.

Uždaviniai, arba kitaip tariant, skirtingi teksto sąrašai grupėje, palengvina įvairius darbo atlikimo scenarijus. Paprastai, vertėjas gauna visų grupėje neišverstų teksto segmentų sąrašą, bet būna uždavinių, kur tekstą galima patikrinti arba gauti visų, tiek išverstų tiek neišverstų, teksto segmentų sąrašą.



Reporting and statistics: The extension has extensive reporting features ranging from a view of untranslated messages across all message groups in a given language to lists of translators per language with their activity level.

Content translation: If you have ever tried to translate content in MediaWiki without any tools, you know it does not scale. The translated versions get out of date and there is no way to track changes to the master page, so there are many half-translated and outdated translations without a clear overview of the overall status. Translators often feel discouraged when they cannot work with small manageable pieces of text. Translators don't find what to work on or what needs updating. The users also get confused by outdated information.

This is all solved with the Translate extension and its page translation feature. It adds a bit of overhead to the pages that need translation, but the benefits far outweigh this. Essentially you only need to mark the parts of the page that need translation. The extension then splits such parts into paragraph sized units and creates a message group for them. After that translators can use all the features described above. In addition you can easily add a language bar with the tag or have links automatically go to the user's preferred language version (only) when it exists, by using links of the form Special:MyLanguage/Pagename.

For more information see the tutorial How to set up a content page for translation and the in-depth documentation of the page translation feature.

Developers: The extension comes with built-in support for many common translation file formats, like Java properties and Gettext po files. It has an extensive set of tools, both in-wiki and on the command line, to efficiently import and export translations.

Searching: Without a search feature, it is difficult for translators to find specific messages they want to translate. Traversing all the translations or strings of the project is inefficient. Also, translators often want to check how a specific term was translated in a certain language across the project.

This is solved by the special page Special:SearchTranslations. Translators can find the messages containing certain terms in any language and filter by various criteria: this is the default. After searching, they can switch the results to the translations of said messages, for instance to find the existing, missing or outdated translations of a certain term.

Naudojimo pavyzdžiai
You can translate almost anything with the Translate extension. Naturally there are specialized tools for translation of certain kind of content like video subtitles, that are better done with those tools, but in general Translate performs very well with any kind of text that can be split into messages with length ranging from one word up to one large paragraph. Longer messages become unwieldy to translate and are just harder to work with.

The three primary use cases that the Translate extension supports are content translation, local interface translation and software translation. All of them are covered in the following sections, with links to tutorials and to reference documentation or in-depth topical help where available. Of the three use cases the interface translation has been utilized the least.

Turinio vertimas


Most wikis have content they would like to be available in multiple languages. Whether just a few or hundreds of pages, it doesn't matter. In order to prevent wasting translator's time, pages should be marked for translation only when they are reasonably stable. Each change that is made afterwards can affect tens or hundreds of old translations, and the time needed to update them adds up. Especially with volunteer translators, you should be aware of this aspect, and respect the time they spend making translations and updates, avoiding unnecessary work. If you use the Translate extension to translate pages, you are already well on your way to using the translator time available in the most effective and efficient way.

The way the Translate extension splits up a page into paragraph sized units does not leave too much freedom for translators to change the content. This is usually a good thing and is ideal where continuity and consistency of content across languages is desired. It can be worked around, but in principle this way of doing translations is not generally suitable, for example, for Wikipedia articles, which usually are totally independent of each other. Even if they originally start as a translation from a different language, they usually begin living their own independent life from the original version. With Translate, the original page is always the main version, and new content cannot be developed in translated versions.

With these limitations in mind there are still plenty of cases where this feature is a perfect match. Most, if not all, user documentation falls into this category as well as news-like content that does not change once written. If you have the Translate extension already installed and access rights configured, try creating a page and wrapping the whole text inside and follow the links, or follow the tutorial How to prepare a page for translation.

Groups of pages can be further aggregated together with the Special:AggregateGroups page.

Local interface translation in multilingual wikis
One thing almost every wiki has customized is the sidebar. It is possible to create a message group for the custom sidebar messages and also for other local interface customisations.

One interesting expansion is the multilingual pages or templates built with the magic word. The translatewiki.net main page and some Wikimedia Commons templates are good examples of this. The magic word is an alternative to the content translation feature and it is more suitable to mark-up heavy pages just like the translatewiki.net main page. Another nice feature is that the language of the page automatically follows the user interface language, so there is no need for a language bar, although you might want to have an interface language selector instead.

Setting this up is currently a bit more complicated than content translation and needs software configuration, but it is all covered in the tutorial How to make an interface message group.

Programos vertimas
The Translate extension is a good fit for translating software interface messages. At translatewiki.net, it is used to translate dozens of software products from games to web applications. The Translate extension supports reading and updating translations from and to common formats used in web development including Java properties, Gettext and Yaml files.

Change tracking is also available for externally tracked files, because internally the extension uses a cached derivative version of the localisation files where the source text and its translations are stored, instead of using them directly in their original format. Translation administrators can either use the web interface or a command line interface to check new message definitions and "fuzzy" (request update of) translations when they need updating. This works regardless of the underlying file format or version control system (if any).

With simple command line tools, translation administrators can easily import even a large set of existing translations and with just one command they can export all translations in the correct format and in the correct directory structure. You can export directly to your VCS repository checkout, where you can easily commit changes and new files.
