Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

  • Go to an article in English and see the link to your used languages in Content Translation just above the other languages.

  • Go to the French version to see the new Vector working and try to find it:

What happens?: There's no link to create the article using Content Translation

What should have happened instead?: There should be an option to add it, even if there is no other language translation.

Event Timeline

We plan to expand the language selector (T289839) with support for starting a translation. There are more details in these tickets:

I think we can merge the current one with T289839, unless there is something not covered in the above. If that's the case, please let me know.

I don't know if this will be incorporated into the "quick actions" (which are not quick, because you need three clics to reach there once you figure out where it is), so if you decided to close it, I imagine that it will be solved.

Opening it again, because it has been broken for two months and there is no clear plan to solve it.

I don't know if this will be incorporated into the "quick actions" (which are not quick, because you need three clics to reach there once you figure out where it is), so if you decided to close it, I imagine that it will be solved.

The task was merged as a duplicate of T289839 to signal that implementing T289839 would address the issues described in this task. If that is not the case, feel free to keep it as a separate task.

Phabricator marks the merged tasks as closed but that does not mean the work is completed since T289839 is still open.

Is just that I don't know if this will be implemented or not when the "quick actions" are there. It seems a separate issue now, but if it will be included, then yes, it is a duplicate.

Pginer-WMF claimed this task.

Progress in T290972 and T289840 is already visible and as a consequence:

  • A banner on top of the selector provides quick access to translate to your frequently accessed languages, when the article is missing in those.
  • A menu at the bottom provides always access to the option to translate.

This is shown below:

Although there may be still some polishing to be done, the access is available. So I think we can close the ticket, but feel free to reopen and/or provide further comments.
Thanks!

Yes, it has been resolved. Well done!
