Hello everyone!

I have a problem with translation from Estonian to Russian.

I run auto-translation of paragraphs and after correcting some errors, I don't understand why the system doesn't let me publish the translation.

Thank you in advice, YOU helped me so much!

I have not received a response for 1 year regarding my problem related to the translation of War over Water (Jordan river) https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:X9k8ylks0uphmfoi&topic_showPostId=x9k8ylks0ynjujmq#flow-post-x9k8ylks0ynjujmq

Now I'm trying to edit the translation and I can't do it

Thanks for providing information. Can you try again by uninstalling 'Who Wrote That? (Browser extension)' from the browser? Thanks!

Hey,

I've just tried to get a page in Slovak translated to Czech. The two languages are very (and by this I mean very) similar, which means that the machine translation is bang on in 99% of cases.

I really don't want to rewrite the content just for the sake of rewriting it, as I think it's in a good state as it already is, is there a way around this?

I'm facing a similar problem with translation but apparently there's no one to help. I also opened a ticket a few days ago but got no reply. We volunteer our time but nobody seems to care.

Hello Mila.Navarro and 95.82.160.110,

In a case where the automatic translation in the Wikipedia you are translating to has improved, making the current machine translation limit very strict. You can discuss adjusting the limit with the Wikipedia community in the village pump.

In deciding how strict the automatic translation should be, your community should consider different samples of the automatic translation as case studies and agree on a suitable threshold based on its accuracy and the extent to which translators edit the machine translation.

Once there is a consensus on the percentage of adjustment (e.g. 99% automatic translation and 1% adjustment), you can create a phabricator ticket like this one so that the WMF Language team can adjust the machine translation limit. I will also add that the Wikipedia Czech community in the past agreed to make the machine translation stricter. You can read more about their request here.

I hope this information helps. Thank you!

@UOzurumba (WMF)

A ticket based on community consensus already exists (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T353049), but unfortunately it has not yet been implemented due to the second requirement in the request (which is also the result of a community consensus).

Thank you for the reply @UOzurumba (WMF)

Don't know if I should tell you, but I found a simple trick to get around this. Just search and replace a common often used word (like a grammatical article or some punctuation) into something random. Publish it with these changes, then search and replace back with the original word.

I'll try that, thank you.

從英文翻譯至中文，Crown Colony of Labuan翻譯至納閩直轄殖民地，中文翻譯後，顯示的引用雖然內容不一樣，但是全部都顯示為「[1]」，超級阻礙翻譯工作。

Не бачу, що я можу зробить для того, щоб переклад був не в чернетці, а опублікований. Підкажіть, хто може погодити

Probably better to ask on the Ukrainian Wikipedia rather than here, since this can be very different from wiki to wiki.

I am translating my work in English to German. can I simply copy text from the German wiki ? ( as long as I cite the source)

Hello, you can always reuse content from Wikipedia pages with attribution (I suppose reusing your own work does not require that either), as it is licensed under CC-BY-SA.

Que dois-je faire?

The issue is an abuse filter on the local wiki, not the ContentTranslation tool. Please post to fr:Wikipédia:AbuseFilter/Faux positifs.

Hello! I have translated the page of Elen Smile. What should I do to have it published?

Hello, what problem exactly are you having?

The page cannot be published.

Could you please link the page you are referring to?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elen_Smile

Review processes on the English Wikipedia can take a lot of time, as hundreds of pages are submitted every day. On that note, it is not an issue with the ContentTranslation tool.

راستش بار اولم بود که میام روی ویکیپدیا تا چیزی رو ترجمه کنم ولی میبینم که واقعا اشتباه کردم چرا؟ وارد صفحه ترجمه که میشم اولین اروری که میبینم راجع به یه توکن داره صحبت میکنم از اون بگذریم کل ترجمه رو که انجام میدم آخرش موقع انتشار میزنه خطا در انتشار و این چیزا واقعا از سایت ویکپدیا انتظار دیگه ای داشتم

من هم با این مشکل مواجه هستم!!!!

من هم با دوتا ارور "افزون پیوند نادرست" و"استفاده از ابزار ترجمه محتوا" موقع انتشار روبه رو میشم در صورتی که پیوند هام دقیقا شبیه متن اصلی هستش و در فهرست ها هم زده شده استفاده از ترجمه ماشینی 0 درصد هستش.

کسی میدونه باید چه کرد؟

Alguien sabe como solucionarlo?

Gracias
