Description

MinT provides machine translation for the first time to 55 Wikipedias (listed in P49501, and organized by region in P49484). After enabling MinT in Content Translation we can have a quick check on some of the translation activity to identify the potential effect of enabling MinT on those wikis.

The number of published translations has doubled. While previous activity rarely got close to 500 translations/month, in the recent months after MinT enablements the activity has been above 1K published translations, with a recent peak of 2.15K translations published in august (which is a significant increment compared to August in the previous year with 225 translations).

The graph below shows the published translations for this (dark blue) and last year (light blue) for all the languages receiving machine translation for the first time:

Despite the significant increase of translation activity, the percentage of deleted translations has not increased after the enablement of MinT:

Most of the translations are driven by users with 1K+ edits (green line in the graph below) and 10K+ edits (orange line in the graph below) in their edit count.
