Talk:Content translation

About this board

Please provide feedback about the Content translation tool on this page.

We suggest checking the Frequently Asked Questions page first.

When reporting a bug, it will help a lot if you will indicate the following things:

  • Which article were you translating and to which language
  • Which browser did you use (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.)
  • If you're getting any errors, please provide log from browser console if possible. To open browser console: press Ctrl+Shift+j (or cmd+alt+J () on a Mac).

In case you are familiar with Phabricator, please consider reporting a bug there.

Translation for Santali Language

RIT RAJARSHI (talkcontribs)

In Santali Wikipedia (https://sat.wikipedia.org). It seems currently there is no machine translation feature, and it just adds the original paragraphs without any kind of translation. Unfortunately Google does not provide any kind of translation of this language. It would be great if an autotranslation feature exist for this language.

Thanks in advance

Thanks @RIT RAJARSHI , for your suggestion. We will be initiating this process and definitely work on this. We will be in touch with you, looking forward for your support,

@RIT RAJARSHI, there is no machine translation for Santali anywhere on the web, unfortunately. This is not something that the developers of Content Translation can do all by themselves.

If anyone ever develops a machine translation engine for Santali, we may try to integrate it here.

Until this happens, Content Translation is usable without machine translation and provides useful features: display of the source and the translation side-by-side, one-click image and link adaptation, some template adaptation, and more. Indeed, Content Translation was used to translate more than 90 articles into Santali, and I hope that you use it to translate more, even if machine translation is not available now :)

See these pages for further information:

Useless warning "... contains _% unchanged text."

Pabloab (talkcontribs)

While translating articles from English to Spanish, I usually get the annoying and useless warning Parte de tu traducción contiene _% de texto sin modificar (Part of your translation contains _% unchanged text). Google translator has evolved over time, and nowadays do a pretty good job. Sometimes even better than an average Wikipedian. Even after marking the warning as resolved, it stills appearing again and again.

Bonjour,

Depuis deux semaines environs, les corrections que je fais dans des articles que je traduits ne sont pas enregistrées automatiquement. Pourtant il y a bien le message indiquant " enregistrement en cours" puis "enregistré".

Pouvez-vous me dire quel est le problème et comment le résoudre ?

Merci d'avance. -- Eka1 (discuter)

Bonjour

Je ne sais pas ni ce qui ce passe,ni la solution,mais j'ai déjà vu dans une des pages d'aide de wikipédia un endroit ou poser des questions.

Je vais voir si je peux trouver la solution.

Bonjour,

Bien à vous

Eka1 (talkcontribs)

Merci, je n'ai pas trouvé de réponse satisfaisante alors j'ai supprimé l'article "Solar deity" et j'ai recommencé la traduction. J'ai pu aller un peu plus loin dans le texte mais ensuite l'enregistrement automatique ne fonctionne plus. Peut-être est-ce que c'est parce que cet article est très long ?

Cordialement -- Eka1 (discuter)

C est possible, mais alors il faut que vous envoyez un raport a wikipedia.

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with translation from Estonian to Russian.

I run auto-translation of paragraphs and after correcting some errors, I don't understand why the system doesn't let me publish the translation.


Thank you in advice, YOU helped me so much!

Translation limits on Slovak->Czech translations

95.82.160.110 (talkcontribs)

Hey,

I've just tried to get a page in Slovak translated to Czech. The two languages are very (and by this I mean very) similar, which means that the machine translation is bang on in 99% of cases.

I really don't want to rewrite the content just for the sake of rewriting it, as I think it's in a good state as it already is, is there a way around this?

Mila.Navarro (talkcontribs)

I'm facing a similar problem with translation but apparently there's no one to help. I also opened a ticket a few days ago but got no reply. We volunteer our time but nobody seems to care.

UOzurumba (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hello Mila.Navarro and 95.82.160.110,

In a case where the automatic translation in the Wikipedia you are translating to has improved, making the current machine translation limit very strict. You can discuss adjusting the limit with the Wikipedia community in the village pump.

In deciding how strict the automatic translation should be, your community should consider different samples of the automatic translation as case studies and agree on a suitable threshold based on its accuracy and the extent to which translators edit the machine translation.

Once there is a consensus on the percentage of adjustment (e.g. 99% automatic translation and 1% adjustment), you can create a phabricator ticket like this one so that the WMF Language team can adjust the machine translation limit. I will also add that the Wikipedia Czech community in the past agreed to make the machine translation stricter. You can read more about their request here.

I hope this information helps. Thank you!

Jklamo (talkcontribs)
Mila.Navarro (talkcontribs)
Joostik (talkcontribs)

Don't know if I should tell you, but I found a simple trick to get around this. Just search and replace a common often used word (like a grammatical article or some punctuation) into something random. Publish it with these changes, then search and replace back with the original word.

Mila.Navarro (talkcontribs)

I'll try that, thank you.
