I am far from being a new user, but I cannot select to use Machine Translation in the dropdown menu. @MJL:

@Veverve I'm not sure why I was pinged. Is there something I could do to help?

Veverve (talkcontribs)

Well, from what I understood you can, am I mistaken?

MJL (talkcontribs)

Oh, now that I'm look at the post below... I get why you might think that. I have no clue why I chimed in there since I'm not experienced in this subject at all.


Yeah, @Pginer-WMF would probably know more than me.

@Veverve Actually, according to @KartikMistry it's because machine translation is not available to English Wikipedia yet.

Huh.

Then is Content translation/Machine Translation wrong? It says nowhere it does not work in English, quite the contrary it states "Enabling machine translation for a language: Available machine translation system for particular language or language pair is enabled as a non-default option. Users can choose it through the drop-down menu on the interface. (see image)"

Sorry to ask again, but what can I do for the Content translator to work for me?

Veverve (talkcontribs)

I do not understand what I am supposed to do to make CX work. Could you explain in terms that someone like me, who has not understanding of how code-related things work, can understand? I think it is also worth updating Content translation/Machine Translation to explain everybody.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Smarter people than me should be weighing in soon now that I've pinged them.

Veverve (talkcontribs)

It has been 5 months and the problem still persists.
