In addition it is used to translate help pages, newsletters, policies, announcements, banners, etc. It is installed on Wikimedia special projects, translatewiki.net and many other sites. Translate is part of MLEB. Improvements made in the last month include,
- Prevent duplicate translation unit error from showing twice. (Phab:T236153)
- Convert PageDisplayTitle to language variant. (Phab:T230681)
And a handful of other behind the scenes improvements. Please follow link to see a full list of patches submitted to the extension during this month.
