Help:Extension:Translate/پیکربندی

This page is a translated version of the page Help:Extension:Translate/Configuration and the translation is 2% complete.

The MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle provides you with all code and installation steps really required to configure Translate; this page goes into detail on which configuration options are available in case you need more and the installation introduction and requirements didn't help.

This configuration goes to the LocalSettings.php in the MediaWiki directory.

wfLoadExtension( 'Translate' );
$wgGroupPermissions['translator']['translate'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['translator']['skipcaptcha'] = true; // T36182: needed with ConfirmEdit
$wgTranslateDocumentationLanguageCode = 'qqq';

# Add this if you want to enable access to page translation
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['pagetranslation'] = true;

# Private api keys for machine translation services
#$wgTranslateTranslationServices['Apertium']['key'] = '';

User rights

The Translate extension introduces new user rights:

User right Definition Description
translate ویرایش با استفاده از رابط ترجمه Allows users to edit translations.
translate-manage مدیریت گروه‌های پیام Allows users to update and manage message groups with web interface.
translate-import درون‌ریزی ترجمه‌های برون‌خط Allows users to import translation updates from offline tools themselves using web interface (still unstable). This group is optional. It is not needed unless translations need to be imported from an external source.
pagetranslation علامت‌گذاری نسخه‌های صفحه برای ترجمه Allows users to manage translation of content pages.
translate-messagereview بازبینی ترجمه‌ها Allows users mark translations as reviewed.
translate-proofr - This group has the translate-messagereview right and the right to add other users to the translate-proofr group.
translate-groupreview تغییر وضعیت گردش‌کار گروه‌های پیام Allows users to change the workflow state of a group. This group is optional, and is not needed when $wgTranslateWorkflowStates variable is disabled by default. If enabled, the workflow states are defined in the $wgTranslateWorkflowStates variable.

Configuration variables

The following documentation is copied from Translate.php for your convenience. Configuration options change over time, so if in doubt, the documentation in your Translate.php is the best one. For the record this is for 2016-04-21.

This section has not been updated since Translate was migrated to extension registration. Currently there is no good way to automatically generate this kind of documentation page from extension.json.

Basic configuration

/**
 * Language code for message documentation. Suggested values are qqq or info.
 * If set to false (default), message documentation feature is disabled.
 */
$wgTranslateDocumentationLanguageCode = false;

 * Name of the bot which will invalidate translations and do maintenance

/**
 * Default values for list of languages to show translators as an aid when
 * translating (assistant languages).
 * Each user can override this setting in their preferences.
 * If MediaWiki core has a fallback for this language in Messages*.php, then
 * that fallback language is used, so use this variable only if you want to add more
 * languages to that fallback.
 * This feature works only if the value of the assistant languages
 * preference ('translate-editlangs') is the string 'default'.
 * Example:
 *  $wgTranslateLanguageFallbacks['fi'] = 'sv';
 *  $wgTranslateLanguageFallbacks['sv'] = [ 'da', 'no', 'nn' ];

 * For Microsoft Azure AI Translator, you will need to setup your instance
 * in the "global" region or it will not work.
 * 
 * Yandex translation helper also provides langlimit option to limit total
 * number of suggestions (set to 0 to get all possible translations)
 * and langorder array to sort languages. Yandex translate engine is based on
 * wordnet, generated from search index, so number of indexed websites should be
 * a good heuristic to define the default language order.
 *
 * The machine translation services are provided with the following information:
 * - server ip address
 * - versions of MediaWiki and Translate extension
 * - clients ip address encrypted with $wgProxyKey
 * - source text to translate
 * - private API key if provided

Message group configuration

YAML driver

 * * Install these modules from CPAN
 *   * YAML::Syck
 *   * PHP::Serialization.
 *   * File::Slurp
 *
 * You should be able to do this with:
 *   for module in 'YAML::Syck' 'PHP::Serialization' 'File::Slurp'; do cpanp -i $module; done
 *
 * For the shell to work, you also need an en.UTF-8 locale installed on your system.
 * add a line "en.UTF-8" to your /etc/locale.gen or uncomment an existing one and run locale-gen
 * if you do not have it already.
 *
 * phpyaml is the fastest and based on libyaml so the output should be most
 * compatible. spyc output format is least compatible. syck is slowest but

Troubleshooting

Translation page is empty or error 'Unbalanced ‎<translate> tag' shown

Provided that the closing ‎</translate> tag exists, the source page is too big. This starts happening with some translations if the source page size is near 50 kilobytes.

Make the page shorter or increase pcre.backtrack_limit by setting
ini_set( 'pcre.backtrack_limit', 400000 );
in LocalSettings.php or
pcre.backtrack_limit=400000
in your PHP configuration (php.ini).

Saving translation fails with Unknown error: "tpt-unknown-page"

This happens when page has been marked for translation, but the background job has not yet been processed. In this case you can run job queue manually, or even better, setup continuous job running as described in Manual:Job queue . If that doesn't solve the issue, try running php extensions/Translate/scripts/createMessageIndex.php.
