The translation_type field of the content translation event is hard coded to section. It will be helpful to differentiate between section and article for analysis purposes, even if the user is using the unified dashboard based on SX. This will be essential for evaluating the new features being built, Custom suggestions (2.1.2) and Community-defined lists (2.1.4), as the hypothesis statements focus on articles rather than expansion on sections in existing article.
The schema documentation has three enum values listed:
- article
- section
- lead_section
There is no immediate need to differentiate lead section, that can be skipped.
- article can be used for events when a user a starts or is translating a new article (and there is a no existing article). In cases, where a user has saved a translation and resumed later, that would be still be article, as the draft translation is being expanded, rather than expanding an article itself.
- section can be used for events where a user is expanding sections of an existing article (that is already live on wiki).
This will be applicable to the following events (of the ones that are currently instrumented or being instrumented)
