בהודעת השגיאה על ערך קצר מידי כתוב "לחיצה על שמירה" ואין כפתור כזה. יתכן שהכוונה ל"לחיצה על פרסום"

איפה בדיוק זה כתוב? אני לא מוצא. אפשר צילום מסך?‏

The template:multiple image does not arange to equivalent parameters of the desination language template. the CXT only allows to view it, exit and edit the target language template and it deacivates coping to content.

On Content Translation editor, even language local pictures are visible to the target language preview, and have no visible difference to identify it is unavailable in the translation. I think it's a quite odd behavior.

Pictures stored on the local project need to be transfered to Commons or the target laguage Wikipedia projekt. Sometimes missing permissions prohibit this.

Hello,

For more than 10 days (see Topic:V6o2yca2g42y7rxu), on the French Wikipedia (at least) and apparently for *all users* there, the interwiki links (stored in Wikidata) are not added any more. I checked randomly amongst the last translations, none had the link (by different users and on different days).

@Amire80, Pginer-WMF:

Thanks for the feedback, @VIGNERON.

This is an important regression, and we plan to fix it. You can check this ticket to track the progress and add further comments.

In the past we got reports of similar problems that were just a delay due to the cache, and we initially assumed that to be the origin until we could investigate further.

Thanks for the report!

the {{Reflist}} tempate should be converted correctly. It is sill manual work to do.

When coping a reference from left column and paste it into the translation column "Vorlage:Sfn" in red. the clipboad contains:"Template:Sfn" The shortened footnote template does not exist in German. I have no idea, how to create this template.

Hi,

Is there some global statistics of use of ContentTranslation? I could look up at every Wikipedia "Special:Tags" and count the "contenttranslation" tag but isn't there a recap somewhere? and is there other stats, like the tag only give me the destination language, is there any way to know the origin language ?

The first thing to try is to open Special:CXStats in the Wikipedia in the language that interests you the most. (There is a link to this page in the sidebar of the Content Translation dashboard, Special:ContentTranslation.)

If you need anything more, please ask :)

Thanks, that excalty what I was looking for ;)

The page is auto scrolling, I amn't doing the scrolling. You can see a demo here - pQbO8x6uwi8. wiki doesn't let me post a youtube video, that is the ID of the video.

Thne CXT is a translation tool only. Change, modify and expand the article before translating it or later edit both articles. If the CXT scolls anyway, move to mouse out of the window after positioning the cursor.

There is no good automatic translation for the Weblinks section in Proteste in Hongkong 2019.

Is the template not recognized?

One result for instance of the second entry is:

• Massive Proteste: Hongkongs Regierungschefin stoppt umstrittenes Auslieferungsgesetz. Massive Proteste: Hongkongs Regierungschefin stoppt umstrittenes Auslieferungsgesetz. Spiegel online . 15e   Massive Proteste: Hongkongs Regierungschefin stoppt umstrittenes Auslieferungsgesetz.; opgehaald op 16.   Juni 2019 .  

I have also tried to make small changes of some character in the text, but nothing changes. Before I could do it without any problem.

I think the limits have been changed, because I tried another page and still can't publish it.

Thanks for the feedback, @Emanuele676.

Can you share the name of the article for us to investigate in more detail which may be the issue.

Thanks!

I think the problem is the size of the page, I recreated the page by translating only a couple of paragraphs and allowed me to publish.

Malalai Joya and Gamergate controversy. But Constitution of Afghanistan, on the other hand, I was able to publish it as a draft without great difficulty. I don't know what the difference is.
