Translate

[edit]

Wikimedia's software is translated to hundreds of languages using the Translate extension for MediaWiki. 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:

  • Improve the edit summary aid to update the timestamp regularly, and improve the formatting. (task T308720, task T308719)
  • Automatically add anchor for original version of heading title on translation pages (task T62544)
  • Block translations from user blocked from editing translatable bundle (task T317594)

And a bunch of other behind-the-scenes improvements. Please follow this link to see a full list of patches submitted to the extension during this month.
