I am starting by creating a project where we can translate the wikitext using bing.

@Jnanaranjan_sahu: How is this different from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ContentTranslation ?

@Aklapper The community wants to have a tool where they can use Bing translation service.

We had a discussion and few people want to use their own api key for bing translation @soumendrak .This tool will provide the option so that they can use their own key. I have tried with bing translator integration with Content translation service. But we need to host it somewhere to use it.

This tool may bridge that gap.

Also this tool will help in translating templates which is not working properly as reported by @Balajijagadesh. I have already set up a tool and he tested it and is helpful for him. Note: I have just started it.

Definitely content translation is a great tool but there are few set backs. We are trying to bridge that.

Thanks for following up. Few final local changes need to be live then I will close this ticket.

@Jnanaranjan_sahu

The tool currently translates wikilinks ''from'' ''to'' different languages using wikidata. But when ever the ''from'' article is a redirect, then ''to'' is not translated. Untranslated option is shown. A change is required to fix this issue so that even for a redirect correct translated wikidata article is fetched.

#when the ''to'' contains a wikilink with article name along with brackets, then for such cases if "|" is added then lot of work will be reduced. for example if the translated result is like <nowiki>[[Dhee (film)]]</nowiki> then it will be more easy if the result is automatically presented as <nowiki>[[Dhee (film)|]]</nowiki> (note the pipeline after the bracket)
#more language options
#change the default (vite+vue) in the browser tab title

Thank you for your feedback. I am working on the tool make it work in a different way. Please allow me some time and I will update you. I will inform you when made those changes, @Balajijagadesh
