Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
- The SecurePoll implementation on votewiki should import translations from Meta-Wiki directly (or some other community-translatable place, e.g. TranslateWiki).
Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
- At present we use a two-stage process for translations for Board elections (and other global elections requiring translated ballots):
- Text to be translated is bundled together on a Meta-Wiki page (e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Translation ) and translated as normal through the Translate extension
- The translated text is copied and pasted into the poll on votewiki by an election administrator e.g. https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/translate/1079/en
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
- This implementation would make translations much easier to import into SecurePoll on votewiki, saving time and increasing the scalability of the whole process.
