Translations were updated today on the portal.

Looks like we missed a patch - we'll get it updated shortly after code review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/319563/
@JGirault - do you think you can help?

*bump*

This was updated today, but gerrit didn't automatically update this ticket: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/319563/ we'll need a +2 at this point. :)

This patch was released on Dec 15, 2016 - here are two screen shots showing a browser set with French and Chinese set as the primary language. It shows that all the French translations are in, but not all of the Chinese is. This could be typical of several languages - where not all the words have been translated.
Also - the app links are purposely not translated at this point, since they're part of a long term test that is still ongoing.

Hi, the information at the bottom of the page is still untranslated. Also, why do the app links have to be in English? I am confused.

I just checked using a browser which had its primary language set to Spanish and the footer was translated; see screenshot below. It's likely that it just wasn't deployed yet when you checked, or that you're viewing it in a language that has yet to receive translations. :-)

Also, why do the app links have to be in English? I am confused.

That page has long been lacking infrastructure, such as support for translations. As it stands, the translation infrastructure was only recently added, and it was added after the app links; if the translation infrastructure had been added first, then they could've been translated easily. As it stands, the app links are part of a long-running test, and given that they may not be permanent, spending valuable engineering time perfecting something that might be outright deleted would be unwise at this stage.

Hi Deskana, thank you for your comment! I am sorry that there has been a misunderstanding. By 'information at the bottom of the page', I was referring to the final line of the page that reads, "This page is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. Terms of Use • Privacy Policy", which can be found at the very bottom of the page.

Regarding the app links, how much more will this "long-running" test last? Let me add that when I see a page somewhere on the web that has text in both English and my native German, my feeling is that this page has a bug. We shouldn't allow wikipedia.org to look buggy. Also, I am wondering how much engineering time it might take to include the links with the parts that need to be translated, because I'm (naively) assuming it needs more lines of code to have a page deliberately displayed in two languages, instead of just one.

Hi @Gnom1 - the legal language at the bottom of the page is deliberately only in English because full context is hard to ensure with all translations.

For the long running test for the app links - it's only been up on the site for about 6 weeks at this point. It's actually not hard to keep that section (or any section) in English at this point. We will most likely add in the request for the app links to the 'need to be translated' section in translatewiki soon, and we'll make that decision in early 2017.

Hi @debt - I am very sorry, but what does that mean? Don't we have hundreds and hundreds of localized legal language bits all over the projects? Doesn't the Urdu Wikipedia have a licence tag in Urdu and it's totally fine that way? Why does this line on wikipedia.org have to be in English? Maybe I am having difficulties understanding what you wrote.

I once read that Wikipedia is the most multilingual project in all of history. I really would like to see a page like wikipedia.org reflect that as much as possible.

Hi @Gnom1 - we took a look this morning and we're not sure we can re-use existing translations for the legal footer text, because it is slightly different. However, I created T153764 to add the phrases into translatewiki for requesting of translations and for future display on the portal.

We're also happy that you appear to be happy with the progress we've made so far in making the portal page much more accessible and readable in the world's languages!

I'd like everyone to bear in mind that until a few weeks ago there was no localisation on the page at all. Discovery has been working tirelessly to add localisation infrastructure to the page. The little bit of localisation that's on there now is a big improvement over having none at all! Please bear with us whilst we try to improve the situation. :-)

This is not right. There is no reason whatsoever to leave this part intentionally untranslated, and as @Gnom1 says this is indeed a bug (T154350).

Even when there is a good reason to leave something intentionally in English, it must be explicitly defined as such, otherwise it is likely to cause RTL and other issues. See T154349.

Understandable. No problem, I'll be happy to help. Happy new year! :)

Is this about updating the files from translatewiki, or about getting the files deployed to production?

The title may have to be updated to clarify this.

Also, the deployment task should probably be automated, similarly to LocalisationUpdate.
