Content translation/gsw



S Inhaltsübersetzigs-Werchzüüg machts möglich, d Übersetzige direkt neb em Orginaltext z schriibe und übernimmt die langwiilige Ufgabe wie: s Kopiere vo Text us eim Browser-Tab in andere, Verchnüpfige und Kategorie ahpasse, und viles meh. So chan em Schriibe vo qualitativ hochwertige Texte meh Ziit gwidmet werde wo i ihrere jewilige Sprach natürlich dehär chömed.

S Werchzüüg isch immer no i de Entwickligsphase, chan und wird aber scho bruucht zum Inhlat z übersetzte. Es sind scho tuusigi Artikel mit Hilf vom Tool übersetzt worde und Rückmäldige werden vorzue gnutzt zum s z verbessere. D Inhaltsübersetzig integriert Werchzüüg wie es Wörterbuech oder maschinelli Übersetzigshilfe. Die werded aber ned $|in allne Sprache unterstzüzt, aber es chan ergänzte werde, damit meh däzue chömed.

Content Translation complements the existing extension: while text from Wikipedia menus and other user interface elements are translated and kept in sync by the community using Translate, Wikipedia content can be translated using Content Translation.

Try the tool
You can access the tool from Special:ContentTranslation from Wikipedia in any language. Accessing it for the first time will also enable the tool for that wiki.

Content translation is available in Wikipedia in all languages for logged-in users. In some languages it must be enabled as a beta feature, and in others it is a usual user preference enabled by default. When it is enabled, you will see additional entry points to easily start a translation from your "contributions" page or from the list of languages of Wikipedia articles when they are missing in your language.

If you had any issue with the tool or you just want to share the experience with the tool, please provide feedback at the talk page.

What's new
Translators will be able to expand existing articles by translating a new section on mobile and desktop. Section translation is part of the Boost initiative, where you can participate and track progress. Check the new help documents and help to make them better.
 * Section translation project will increase the capabilities of Content translation.
 * User documentation for Content Translation is reorganized (still in progress).

Purpose of the tool
Content Translation allows you to create an initial version of a Wikipedia page based on an existing version from a different language. The tool is focused on transferring and adapting content from an existing article to a new one in a different language. It allows editors to reuse as much or as little content for their initial version to later keep editing it with their usual editing tools.

We expect that Content Translation will help to expand the sum of the human knowledge to more languages. The tool is targeted to users that know two or more languages.

For current editors the tool will simplify the process of translating content. Currently, about 15% of users also edit a second language edition. These multilingual users were found to be more prolific than their monolingual counterparts, making about 2.3 times as many edits on average. In addition, the tool is aimed at attracting new editors who may benefit from a way of contributing that is easier than creating a new page from scratch.

The tool was designed according to the following principles:


 * Save time. Help translators to create content quickly, without unnecessary copy & paste to external tools.
 * Provide assistance. Prevent errors, and make the user confident of their translations.
 * Encourage quality of translations. The tool should properly communicate the purpose of translations in Wikimedia context and help the user to avoid bad quality translations.
 * Don’t force the user. Since different translators follow different editing patterns, the aids provided should not intrude into the editing process.
 * Focus on content. Translation is more focused on content than text styling. Technical elements such as wikitext should be dealt in a way that do not make the translation harder.

More details about the analytics considered are available.

How to participate

 * Try this tool
 * You can volunteer for our testing sessions. It may take some time for us to contact you since we select participants based on the languages that we are planning to enable next. In any case, we are interested in testing with as many users as possible and we'll appreciate your participation.
 * Help improve the tool by integrating new machine translation services or analyse our data on published translations to make translation services better.
 * Take the new language survey where you can provide information on the support of existing tools for your language.
