Enable Content and Section translation on Wikipedias for languages to be supported by NLLB in the future
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

All Wikipedias identified as part of the Boost initiative already have Section Translation available. This ticket proposes to enable the tool on other Wikipedias as well as enable Content Translation as a default tool to facilitate translation on both desktop and mobile devices.
In particular, this ticket focuses on a set of languages where NLLB-200 will be able to provide machine translation for the first time (T326578).

As part of this process, we'll generate the template parameter alignments (T221211) for these languages, enable access to the tool in test wiki for editors to try, communicate with the different communities and only proceed with the enablement if there is no major concern.

These are the languages selected for this task:

  • Santali (sat) – Planned as part of T337290.
  • Kabyle (kab) – Planned as part of T337290.
  • Banjar (bjn) – Planned as part of T337290.
  • South Azerbaijani (azb) – Planned as part of T337290.
