A set of languages without previous machine translation support will get support from Flores (T307970). Once they have MT support, exposing more the possibility to translate articles may be convenient. This ticket proposes to enable Content and Section Translation and improve template support for these languages:
- ast (Asturian)*
- ckb (Sorani / Central Kurdish)*
- ilo (Iloko)
- kg (Kongo)
- ln (Lingala)
- nso (Northern Sotho)
- ss (Swati)
- tn (Tswana)
zh-yue (Cantonese)(will be done later as separate ticket: T304865)- om (Oromo)*
- wo (Wolof)
- ay (Aymara, supported by Flores as Central Aymara: ayr)
*Some wikis have Content Translation already as default, but Section Translation enablement is pending.
As part of this process, we want to learn from the editing community how well those tools suit their needs and identify potential improvements. We'll communicate with the editing community and only proceed with the enablement if there is no major concern.
Steps:
- Generate template parameter alignments (T221211)
- Enable selected wikis on Test Wikipedia
- Communicate with the communities
- Enable ContentTranslation out of Beta for ay, ilo, kg, ln, nso, ss and tn Wikipedias
- Enable in the selected Wikipedias
