Project description:
We have created a mirror of Our World in Data on wmcloud servers. This allows us to use an extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OurWorldInDataMirror to pull these into a mediawiki install. Examples here https://mdwiki.org/wiki/WikiProjectMed:OWID

Next efforts is to figure out translation infrastructure and eventually use within Wikipedias.

Based on the meeting last week, this is not yet ready to be integrated to translatewiki.net.

In order to integrate with translatewiki.net, you need first have a strings file (e.g. simple key-value JSON file with translatable strings) in a git (or other version control system) repository. The next step, in my understanding, is that you will need to create a mechanism to a) pull labels and other translatable content from the Graph definition JSON(s) to a separate file (this file can be integrated with translatewiki.net) and b) device a system that you can create localised Graph definition JSON(s) by replacing the translatable strings with their translations.

I'm closing this task since it has been in our backlog for many months without an update. Please re-open this task when you are ready for integration.

The OurWorldInData extension appears to already be covered in Translate Wiki.
