hi,
I'm working on an internal MediaWIki website, in which multi-languages would be implement in next phase, so is there any reference MW website already implement extension:Translate?
For example this one? I don’t know what you mean by “reference website”, but there are quite a number of translatable pages—including this very one…
You can see the others MW website that used Translate extension from Wikiapiary -> https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Translate
Thanks. @Lamjon
Instead of let system auto generate the Marker like <!--T:1--> in article, can we modify/control an article to have one or two markers since I already have the tranlation text for some of the languages ?
Yes, if you already had the same translation unit on the same page, you can (and, in order not to waste translators’ time, should) reuse them by manually adding the appropriate translation unit numbers using the same format the software would add them; it will pick them up. However, beware that if a translation unit was not present in the previous version marked for translation, the translations won’t be marked outdated if you change the unit compared to how it last appeared in translation. Also, it works only if the translation was on the same page, and using Translate; manual translations can’t be imported this way.
Appreciate that you can explain the steps manually adding the appropriate translation unit numbers .
Simply add them before marking the page for translation, using the same format the system uses.
When we use the <language> tag, it will show in the page but how to make it show in the sidebar menu ?
No, it’s not blocked. This feature has been ready for years; it’s blocked only on Wikimedia sites because of our interwiki language links. Third-party wikis (like translatewiki.net) can already use it by setting $wgPageTranslationLanguageList to 'sidebar-only', 'sidebar-fallback' or 'sidebar-always'.
On lower (ex. 1024x768) resolutions (or when there's a lot of text) the $parameter buttons obstructs the bottom part of the edit box - they cover part of the text, and don't allow to set position of the cursor by clicking. Please move it outside of the edit field (ex. below it).
Placing below into your user skin css do that:
.grid .tux-editor-actions-block .tux-editor-insert-buttons{
position: initial;
}
Do you happen to use Firefox 88? There’s a ticket about this issue in Firefox 87–88, but older and newer versions (including Firefox 89, released as stable two days ago) have been reported to be unaffected. If you have the same issue, simply updating Firefox (hamburger menu → Help → About Firefox) should fix it.
Yes, I was using FF 88. After update the edit field expands correctly.
By the way, I noticed that the $param buttons shows after the documentation loads in the right panel (it can sometimes take a few seconds). If they are not connected (but they probably are), then maybe display those buttons before starting to load the doc?
They’re connected, the so-called “insertables” ($param buttons) are also computed on server-side, and loaded in the same HTTP request as the documentation (for the message on your screenshot, it’s https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=translationaids&format=json&title=Translations:Help:Magic_words/8/pl). Although I don’t know whether they’re actually interconnected on the server side, or would it be possible to split up the API action.
Has anyone built a bot to pull sections from the translate wizard, pass them off to some translation service, and post them back again in order to perform mass initial translations?
I find myself just accepting the suggestions on Special:PagePreparation all the time. Is there any bot or existing piece of automation that can simply add the markup on all / bulk pages?
Not that I know.
I suggest include a [Translate] link in every section (in a similar way to the [Edit] link in every section in a Wikipedia article), to translate a section in a MediaWiki site page. It would make things much easier.
Definitely
I suggest use a MediaWiki Extension:Translate manner to be used for the Content translation tool
I use multilanguage wiki, but main language is not english, and I need get raw translatable string from localized message for translating it into user language by user choice. Exist any method for it, or I must write own hack for it? It is very important for me because I write multilangue manuals and localized name in ex. speciale pages or category do chaos. Unfortunate I know not way to disable translate name of speciale pages. Can help me somebody? Thank you Want (talk) 10:34, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
I'll answer for myself. Just call the URL of the page whereis message with parameter &uselang=qqx. It is, for example link to the list of special pages with raw names. Solution was here — Manual:Special_pages – Want (talk) 17:56, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
