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.
This ticket proposes to enable translation tools in a set of languages that are supported by the MADLAD-400 open source translation model. We are exploring possible integration of this model in the future, and having the translation tools available in the supported wikis by default seems helpful to maximize the impact when machine translation capabilities are enabled.
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:
- Arpitan (frp)
- Kabardian (kbd)
- Moksha (mdf)
- Gorontalo (gor)
- Avar (av)
- Komi-Permyak (koi)
- Chechen (ce)
- Erzya (myv)
- Adyghe (ady)
- Newari (new)
- Kalmyk (xal)
- Jamaican Creole English (jam)
- Mon (mnw)
- Fiji Hindi (hif)
- Komi (kv)
- Tulu (tcy)
- Pampanga (pam)
- Tetum (tet)
- Karachay-Balkar (krc)
- Chamorro (ch)
- Gagauz (gag)
- Old English (ang)
- Romansh (rm) Objected to MinT. Enable only Content/Section translation
- Saterland Frisian (stq) Objected to MinT. Enable only Content/Section translation
- Kalaallisut (kl) Objected to MinT. Enable only Content/Section translation
- Southern Altai (alt) Objected to MinT. Enable only Content/Section translation
- Northern Sami (se) Objected to MinT. Enable only Content/Section translation
- Zhuang (za) MADLAD-400 not available. Enable only Content/Section translation
Navajo (nv)Objected to MinT and Content/Section Translation
Steps:
-
Generate template parameter alignments (T221211)(See: T358645) - Enable selected wikis on Test Wikipedia
- Enable all selected languages in the MinT test instance (not for Content/Section translation) as part of T354666
- Communicate with the communities. Inviting them to try MT quality asking whether the MT quality is useful to be available by default, as an option, or not at all.
- Arpitan (frp)
- Romansh (rm)
- The community objected to having MADLAB-400 because of the quality. However, they did not object to enabling the Content and Section translation tool by default. Only enable Content and Section translation by default in this wiki.

- Gorontalo (gor)

- Navajo (nv)
- There was an objection to having the MADLAD-400 Machine translation model as well as having Content and Section translation enabled by default. See discussions for details.
- Enable Content and Section translation in the corresponding wikis
- Enable MinT in Content/Section translation based on the feedback.
