Description

As part of MinT for Wikipedia Readers MVP (T359072), the Confirm step (T359512) presents the article the user selected before the user access the translation.

At that point, the user selected the article to translate but there is no quick way to access the original contents. This ticket proposes to provide a link to the original article. In this way access and attribution to the original content are improved.

Proposed changes:

  • Update the "Explore how this topic is covered in <num-langs> different languages" to "Translation [from <src-wiki>]. Explore how this topic is covered in <num-langs> different languages." where <src-wiki> is the name of the wiki where the contents to translate are (e.g., English Wikipedia) and <num-langs> is the nuber of language sin which the content is available.
  • Link the "from English Wikipedia" part of the above message to the original article selected for the translation in the source language. The page will open in a new window/tab.
  • Update the link text and target when the source language changes. For example, if the user selects Igbo as source, the resulting message will show "from Igbo Wikipedia".
  • Adjust the Selected topic card to show the "View automatic translation" action with a style of a progressive quiet button in Codex. That is, using the standard font size (font-size-medium) in bold weight (font-weight-bold), and using blue (color-progressive) as the color for text and the icon.

Note that there are other tickets with additional CSS-based adjustments that can be considered in combination with this work if it seems convenient:
