Topic on Talk:Content translation

problem solved

There have been reports that the published translation is not connected to the wikidata item, resulting in links to other language versions on the sidebar to not be displayed. Although this can be manually fixed from the "add links" button on the sidebar, this is something that content translation is supposed to do automatically.

This problem has been reported by Euro know (talk · contribs) and Tuanminh01 (talk · contribs) in English to Hebrew, Macedonian to Hebrew, and English to Vietnamese.

@YTRK, this is also from German to Hebrew.

The same problem has also been reported by Amériquois (talk · contribs) in a translation from English to French, at Topic:Vqw5tb6oqltdudxx.

Same in ukrainian wiki

Thanks for the feedback.

When we have heard reports about this, often is because of caching issues. So the link was added but is not visible after a while. Can anyone confirm if that's an issue happening for all articles, and sharing the Javascript console errors that may appear?

There is a ticket proposing to purge the source article to force the new links to appear, that may avoid the confusion this generates. But it is unclear whether the missing link was noticed in the source or the target language. Knowing that would be helpful too.

Thanks!

No, the link was not added. I had to add it manually.

See the time of creation of this article https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%86%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%97%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0

And then I added wikidata manually.

I confirm I got the same problem for approximately the last week. I tried purging the articles to no avail, so it does not seem a caching problem. I remember there was the same issue some months ago. Is it possible it is a regression? Or some issue with Wikidata after any recent change?

Thanks for the confirmation. I reopened the this ticket to investigate further and fix the regression. This functionality interacts with Wikidata which makes it prone to be affected by changes in their codebase.

We experienced a couple of issues around this already. Unfortunately, right now it is not trivial to replicate Wikidata in our test environment in a way that allows for automatic testing.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Also in it-he pair.

After investigating the issue, it seems that was caused by a refactoring in the Wikidata client library. A fix for the issue has been submitted and depending on the review and deployment cycles it may be visible to users by the end of this or next week.

Thanks everyone for your input.
