I have tried the "Content translation" feature but I want to try the Translate extension too. How to use that? Is it possible at all? RIT RAJARSHI (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

No, the Translate extension is by design unsuitable for translating Wikipedia articles: it forces translators to strictly follow the structure of the original page and doesn’t leave much room for localization, which is natural at article translation—for example, when translating an article on wind mills from Spanish to Chinese, one would probably skip some parts on the history of Iberian and Latin American wind mills, but write more about the wind mill history in China.
