Make WDCM multilingual
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

It's simple: make the WDCM system multilingual.

However,

  • the multilingual WDCM will not be able to rely on the MW API to fetch item and class labels, but rather on some fast serving layer (Elastic, Cassandra - open for discussion); also,
  • the implementation of multilingual WDCM calls for a thorough re-design of the currently implemented dashboard data architecture.

Event Timeline

Addshore moved this task from Incoming to Data Analytics on the WMDE-Analytics-Engineering board.

Removing task assignee due to inactivity, as this open task has been assigned to the same person for more than two years (see the emails sent to the task assignee on Oct27 and Nov23). Please assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically [plan to] work on this task - it would be welcome.
(See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Assignee_cleanup for tips how to best manage your individual work in Phabricator.)

Working on this is not feasible at this point.
The idea to have a multilingual UI implemented in the WDCM system will have to wait for another cycle of system redesign planning.
