I'm currently translating an article from MedWiki, but I've been unable to publish it. I keep getting a message warning me about inappropriate content. The warning reads, 'Automatic editing filters have identified problematic content in your translation. Details: Possible inappropriate content related to the human body'. I'd love to get this issue figured out, please advise.

Could you share on which wiki you were getting this problem? The issue is a local edit filter, not the content translation tool per se.

Hey, I was translating an article from MDWiki to Portuguese, so I guess I've hit the edit filters on Portuguese Wikipedia. I will open a new issue onpt:Ajuda:Tire suas dúvidas.

Leaving a translation unpublished and coming back to it after a while sometimes causes some sections to have the "100% of the text is unchanged" warning.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

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.

Every time I translate wikipedia send me to a looping box. Ffs.

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.

(sorry i was not logged it. The page is Ontological turn, from english to french.)

can any one publish/translate ਸਰਬੰਸ to english

ਸਰਬੰਸ - ਵਿਕੀਪੀਡੀਆ, ਇਕ ਅਜ਼ਾਦ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਗਿਆਨਕੋਸ਼ (wikipedia.org)

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."

Hi, Roman Tička!

Every Wiki have some rules - English Wiki too. Read this rules

Hello Roman Tička,

You can only publish a translation on the English Wikipedia if you are an extended confirmed editor. You can learn more about this restriction on this page.

Thank you!

Oh, so I need to edit english posts to gain this access? I have been registered here for quite some time now, but I have only translated mostly mine locall stuff :D

You can still publish your translation as a draft and request a review of it at en:WP:AFC.

ok, thanks!

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

I agree, I liked the translation and support it!

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

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

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

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

@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.

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

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

@Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami @Baronedimare Hello, you can use this css on your global.css to mitigate this problem.
