Content translation/Announcement-January2015

Content Translation is now available as a beta feature in select Wikipedias. This coincides with the 4th version completed as part of the development cycle.

The tool is designed, developed and maintained by Wikimedia Foundation’s Language Engineering team. It consists of a translation editor, a user dashboard and several tools to create new wiki articles from existing articles in another language. For several languages users can simplify the translation workflow by using the machine translation (MT) powered by Apertium. The last version was released on November 18th 2014.

Other languages
If you would like use Content Translation in a language that is not currently supported, you will need to use a tweak.
 * 1) Enable the beta feature on any of the language Wikipedias mentioned above or on the beta server wiki (recommended). If using the latter, you will need to get a separate account.
 * 2) You can adjust the URL parameters to select a specific article and set of languages. In the example below, article Australia is translated from English (en) to Burmese (my) on the beta wiki:  http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation?page=Australia&from=en&to=my This provides a translation side-by-side interface for you but you still can't receive machine translation for languages, that wasn't opted-in.
