Topic on Talk:Content translation

Hello!

In SqWiki we use the CX tool a lot to create new articles however the percentage of changed text needed to publish an article is making it very hard for us to utilize it lately. Google Translate has improved a lot recently and the translation it provides is most of the times very close to perfect. Many times we are literally forced to remove parts of the sentences just to spoof and bypass the change needed for publication, parts which are later introduced again once the article is published. Is there a way to change this?

Hello Klein Muçi,

If the machine limit is too strict for Albanian Wikipedia. In that case, you can discuss it with the community, considering different samples of the automatic translation as case studies and presenting it to them in the Village pump to agree on a suitable threshold by suggesting translation limits based on the accuracy of the automatic translation and how much translators edit the machine translation.

Once there is a consensus on the percentage of adjustment (e.g. 90% automatic translation and 10% adjustment), you can create a phabricator ticket like this one and ping me so I can inform the WMF Language team. I hope my reply helps you.

Thank you!

Okay, thanks a lot! I'll go through that process and notify you back on Phabricator.

Certain lists and unambiguations have little content other than references and brief descriptions. Translating such lists automatically usually is sufficient with automated translation. However, this produces an error of article being too short and translation too close to machine translation, prohibiting publication. Please, provide means to publish such articles or defined and clear ways to enhance them to your publication standards.

Additionally, errors and warnings cannot be seen, as clicking on the list of errors immediately expands and collapses the dropdown.
