Description

There may be an issue with the translation tool, which allows to translate articles form one language to another. When the translation is published, the interwiki links for that language should be added (or handled by wikidata).

Look at the highlighted sections in the screenshot below: I just "translated" Parson's Cause" from English to Simple English, I am viewing the page on SEWP for the last corrections. The software shows the available translations/pages in other languages/wikis, but lists SEWP as absent (from WikiData).

First of all: I am editing in SEWP, so "Simple English" should not show up at all there. Secondly, "publishing" a translation should also add the corresponding WikiData entry.

I just wanted to add a comment: Perhaps this is an issue related to page refresh. Approximately half a day after creation, the language links ("In other languages", in the image) show up correctly (that is without the non-existent link to SEWP).

Updates to Wikidata sometimes takes time to become visible. If you were trying the new version of Content Translation there was a regression with this, that is being solved. In any case, that should not be an issue now, and as we try the new version we'll investigate if anything can be done to avoid delays that can cause confusion to users.

Even if this is the case, the situation as described above should not happen. At the time when I copyedit an article for last cleanup, it must have been saved, so it likely exists on SEWP. At that time, the software should not tell me the trandation to the language I am currently editing is missing; No matter what: In the In other langauages, my own language must never show up, neither as missing, nor as present.
