Enable Content and Section Translation for Persian Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After receiving recent interest in having Section Translation available in Persian Wikipedia we are considering Persian Wikipedia for the next set of enablements.

This requires to enable Content Translation as a default tool (out of beta) so that mobile editors can access the features. Content Translation seems already well established as a common way to create content (more than 33K articles) for the Persian Wikipedia community.

It is important to complete fixing RTL issues (T271918) before the enablement.

In any case, as part of this process, we'll communicate with the editing community and only proceed with the enablement if there is no major concern.

We are now waiting for community consultation to proceed further.

Uzoma has shared more details on Persian Wikipedia. We'll wait some time to gather feedback and proceed based on it.

@KartikMistry the community consultation is completed. Please proceed with the deployment. Thank you.

Should we wait till RTL issues (T271918) is done, @Pginer-WMF @UOzurumba?

@KartikMistry I think Pau would answer this.

Should we wait till RTL issues (T271918) is done, @Pginer-WMF @UOzurumba?

Thanks for checking, Kartik. At this point based on @Amire80 input, all key elements for a proper RTL support are already in place and the remaining items on the ticket are not a blocker. So we can proceed with the enablement.
