Topic on Help talk:Extension:Translate

I have installed extension Translate from 2019-07-22 (3da1d7c). Page is in code, but Special page not accessible because wiki does not have a translation search service. What I must set for available it? Thank you – Want (talk) 12:06, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

It requires ElasticSearch. Please see Help:Extension:Translate/Translation memories.

Thank you about your answer. But ElasticSearch isn't open source solution, and in addition depends on java engine. Exist any alternative for it? Want (talk) 11:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The currently supported versions of ElasticSearch are open source. 7.x is not yet supported. The future is still unclear, but perhaps there will be open source fork of ElasticSearch.

It's not worth the effort for us to write a search engine ourselves. Besides, MediaWiki itself requires ElasticSearch for advanced search features.

Thank you for the explanation. Want (talk) 16:29, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
