Important highlights

Content Translation

Content Translation allows people to translate Wikipedia articles. Following improvements were done on Content Translation:

Dashboard

• Button to access Suggestions on Content Translation dashboard now has 'lightbulb' icon on mobile screens, to better represent the context than previous 'brightness' icon. (T175006)
• "New translation" dialog now provides more personal suggestions when starting the search for article to translate. Using user's physical location, articles about things in proximity are surfaced to offer more translation opportunities. (T111094)
• Personal header is customized and restyled for Content Translation (T160918)
  • Personal header is faded into the background, instead of using white background.
  • On the left, project wordmark (short or long logo of Wikipedia) is displayed and the tool title ("Translations") after it.
  • On the right, notification entry points are shown and a personal menu that contains usual links displayed in previous header (links to user page, Watchlist, Preferences, Beta, logout button, etc.)
