Problems in translation publishing

When I press the button 'Publish translation' (eo:Publikigi tradukon), I get an error message. It's something like "error during saving the page" (eo: eraro dum konservado de la pagxo). To be precise these messages are in Esperanto (the wiki in which I work the translations) so, I am not sure which is the exact translation of these messages in English. Practically I can not publish the translation work that is done and I don't think moving the text to another text editor is a good idea.

Hi Glavkos. Thanks for reporting this.

Articles can contain very different kinds of content and it is possible that the translation tool had some issues while processing them (e.g., we found problems with some wikis that had especial configurations of their abuse filter preventing the publication of content with external links).

It would be very useful if you could tell us which was the article that you were trying to translate. That will help us to identify where the issue is. We have solved already similar issues in the past, and we treat anything that prevents the user from publishing very seriously since it affects the main purpose of the tool (save you time to create great content).

Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope that does not discurage you from keep trying the tool.

Thanks!

Hi Pginer and thanks for your reply,

ok, I forgot to mention the most important. The article was "Dušan Makavejev" from the en.wikipedia, which I translated to Esperanto. Something else I noticed is that when I change the text of the external links it turns its color to red. I deleted these red links with the suspicion that this might create the problem. Unfortunately it didn't help. Should I try to delete all external links and try to publish again?

Hi Glavkos, thanks for the details. I have opened a ticket in Phabricator to track the issue. The engineers form the Language Team will take a look at the status of the service that converts HTML to Wikitext (Parsoid) to identify which element is causing problems.

You are totally welcome to play with the translation to identify where the issue may be, but I think the info you already provided with the help of the debugging info will be enough for the team to find the problem.

Thanks for your help
