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.

Coming back to an incomplete translation causes some sections to have warnings

Midnight screaming (talkcontribs)

Leaving a translation unpublished and coming back to it after a while sometimes causes some sections to have the "100% of the text is unchanged" warning.

It might have to do with the original article being edited.

I am using Firefox, and I was translating "X11 color names" to Arabic.

Progress doesn't save

For the past couple of days I have noticed that the translated sections (en -> bs) are not saved for when I open them later to progress further in the article. It happened a few times before I resorted to copying the newly translated text and saving it on an external desktop file. This, in the end, failed to function as well because the paste command seems to be skewed as well.

Everything is in the title : the references section can't be modified, but when it's very long the robot will never allow publishing while I have modified every paragraph.

Enable moving page with unchanged content to user page

The translation module is laggy with long articles and I prefer working on my own user page. If I machine translate an entire article I cannot move it to my page because there's too much unchanged text. Could this be made possible?

I have WIP translation for the Europa 2, but unfortunately I can not publish the site, because of some "Lack of permission."

Chechen language in Google translator

Takhirgeran Umar (talkcontribs)

The Chechen language has been added to Google Translator, and it translates very well. Could you add to "Content translation"?

Товболатов (talkcontribs)

I agree, I liked the translation and support it!

Один-Циу (talkcontribs)

great idea, translates very well, I'm all for it!

176.109.5.41 (talkcontribs)

I support. This will greatly help the translation, since Wikipedia has very precise definitions.

UOzurumba (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Thank you all, for your feedback. Google has not updated these new languages in the Google translate API.

Takhirgeran Umar (talkcontribs)

@UOzurumba (WMF), Thank you for your answer! Please tell me where and how can I find out when Google will update?

UOzurumba (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@Takhirgeran Umar

Unfortunately, there is no accessible and easy way for you to find out when Google will update their API. However, there is a ticket already for this work.

language selection dropdown menu

Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami (talkcontribs)

When reading articles and clicking the drop down menu for language selection, the "missing in x language and more" option always pops up at the top of the list after 1 second, this makes the list shift downwards and I always misclick when I wish to read in a different language. Please change it so that it doesn't pop up at the top. Pop at the bottom, always save space at the top and put a placeholder, move to the side, I don't care, just don't make the list shift.

I have the same problem

Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami (talkcontribs)

Turns out this was reported almost a year ago, Phab:T344028, a proper fix is quite necessary.
