I translated page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATS_Messaging

Extended it content, added citations.

And I can npt publish it. System says "В русской Википедии использование инструмента перевода доступно только автопатрулируемым.

I applied, but it is strange that I need to get extra approval for doing translation. And at the same time I can create new page not doing translation, without extra approvals, etc.

May be there is an workartound for above mentioned problem. Please advise if workaround indeed exists.

Hello MarsJson,

I am not sure there is a workaround; the ruwiki has set this rule. In the meantime, you can save the translation in your personal draft space pending when you become an autopatroller.

Best regards.

Thank you for your comment. I am still wondering whom I should contact to speedup (or simplify) process.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'll try anyway. What can I do to translate an entire page (from English to Spanish, specifically) at once? Because every time I try to translate a page, I can only do it section by section. I ask this because I often see how other users translate entire pages in one go.

Hi, I notice several problems while trying to do translation using the Content translation tool.

1) References

The references don't show up (or in gray colour) unless you put something on it like a space. Compared to Malay Content Translation, the references just appear automatically (and in blue colour). Several templates, like cite web template don't work even if we link the template to the Wikidata database. During translation, one might need to add in the template manually to fix the issue and it could be so tedious.

2) Template

Some templates don't show up in Iban translation, although the templates exist in both languages. We have to manually edit the template right after the translated article is published, and it is not a convenient process.

3) Autotranslate feature

Even Iban is now in Google Translate, the feature is not enabled yet in Iban language. Although it is not t a major issue, I would appreciate if this feature is enabled.

I hope these matters can be resolved soon to improve the experience of editing using this tool.

Please enable Content Translation in Madurese Wikipedia into Madurese language.

Hello @Bennylin,

The Content and Section translation tools are enabled for madwiki unless you are referring to another wiki. Thank you!

yes, but when one tried to translate, it translates to Indonesian language, not Madurese language.

maybe it's a setting problem? or is it policy problem (the community need to agree to, or vote to enable translation to Madurese language, not Indonesian)?

so far it hasn't been used precisely because of that, but the community didn't know that it wasn't normal until I gave Wiki training to their community, and this problem came to my attention.

left (source) is in Indonesian, right (target) language is also in Indonesian.

I noticed that a version of the Artificial general intelligence article did not exist on Simple English Wikipedia and I was considering creating it. Then I was (automatically?) suggested to try the translation feature. It defaulted to French, which was not helpful to me, I have no indication in my User Agent that I should be able to understand French so that is a questionable default, so then I selected English source and Simple English target.

But it seems that this is not a supported language, it says "translation services not available".

It would be nice if there was a machine translation model for a subset of English.

I was a bit surprised that the disambiguation text suddenly appeared but it kind of makes sense, however, I would prefer to have a simple outline of the body of the article in place first so I discarded this. I was also surprised that after I got rid of it, I couldn't see a way to add it back, should I want to do so, which is a little unforgiving.

I figured out how to add the sections of pairs and replace them as needed.

I was a little surprised to see that there was a definition (from WikiData?) shown right below the submitted article, but it's not clear that is because of the Content Translation tool.

This issue has been resolved as indicated in this thread.

@UOzurumba (WMF) Hello, I'm a member from Vietnamese wikipedia. I'm specialized in translating contents from English to Vietnamese on Vietnamese wikipedia. Recently, I've opened the content translation. Then I found out there were no page available on translating column. I wondered what had happened with translating column? And how this issue will be fixed. Thanks!!

There is a widespread problem

I appear to be having the exact same issue. Slightly different with different browsers, but ultimately cannot translate any page.

Appears to be fixed now. 👍🏻

Thank you, @Cdehesa906 and @Unflyingobject, for highlighting this issue. Could you please provide an update on whether it is working as expected?

It seems to work now, thanks

Thanks for the confirmation.

This issue has been resolved as indicated here.

Hi there,

I am an extended confirmed user on wp:en and want to translate an article to wp:fr. I already used the tool multiple times, but today, it doesn't seem to work: the generated interface is displayed in blank with the sole "On the English Wikipedia this tool is limited to extended confirmed editors, and the machine translation component is disabled for all users (see WP:CXT)." message.

Is there anything going on?

Thanks.

The same problem in Russia

Same in Israel

Same in the Czech rep.

Same in Spain

I have done three translations recently. I've noticed some errors that are recurring. Sometimes a notification pops up indicating that there have been changes in the original article. I check the original article and it turns out not to be true. When I go into the translation page again, some paragraphs have not saved and I have to do them again. Moreover, after publishing the translation, some inline citations are not added and I have to add them manually. I also noticed other minor problems, but these are the main ones. Please correct these errors, as they discourage the use of the tool.

Hello @Mlody1312,

Can you share the following information:

• Which article you were translating and to which language
• The browser you used (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.)

thank you.

For example Blue fox fur.

I use Chrome.
