Content Translation supports multiple translation services. With the recent creation and evolution of MinT, MinT was set as the default service where there have been indicators of good quality in the translations (T353136, T353259, T341458) in order to better support the communities and provide open alternatives for translation services which allow communities to more easily participate in improving. However, issues with reference handling have been reported T363563: Avoid references losing their data (showing as plain-text "[1]") when added to the translation using MinT
In order to avoid the noise introduced to cause additional work for editors in the community, we propose to change back the default machine translation service to use Google Translate for a set of languages where the issue shave been more frequent. These include:
- Gujarati (gu/guj_Gujr)
- Oriya (or/ory_Orya)
- Urdu (ur/urd_Arab)
- Igbo (ig/ibo_Latn)
Once the ajustment is made, we'll analyze data and process community feedback to identify how to move forward while working on fixing the issue with references (T363563).
