Translate[edit]
Wikimedia's software is translated to hundreds of languages using the Translate extension for MediaWiki. In addition, it is used to translate help pages, newsletters, policies, announcements, banners, etc. It is installed on Wikimedia special projects, translatewiki.net and many other sites. Translate is part of MLEB. Improvements made in the last month include:
- Improve editing of translatable pages with Visual Editor. (Gerrit change 779863, Gerrit change 786880)
- Fix: Special:PageTranslation should not output one message box per invalid unit ID (task T306257, Gerrit change 782244)
- Fix: "Please specify a valid format" notice when trying to export translation on translatewiki.net (task T305906, Gerrit change 779580)
- Fix: "Special:ImportTranslations always reports "There were no changes for this language." (task T230000, Gerrit change 777349)
And a bunch of other behind-the-scenes improvements. Please follow this link to see a full list of patches submitted to the extension during this month.
