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 currently lack machine translaiton support. Often this is due to the lack of parallel data to train translation models for those languages. Considering that making translations of Wikipedia articles is a way to generate such parallel corpora, we consider that making translation tools more visible can be beneficial for those languages.

Even if the lack of current machine translation support requires an additional manual effort, Content translation still helps to facilitate the process (e.g., linking to corresponding articles) in the short term. In the long term, incentivizing the creation of good quality parallel corpora will contribute to better translation models.
