Client side translation suggestions
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Use case: Wikimedia servers cannot make external requests to machine translation services like Google Translate and Bing Translator, but we all use them. There are also some potential license issues connected with the use of these tools directly from the Wikimedia platform. However, by integrating these services client side into translation tools, a lot of translator efficiency can be gained without these drawbacks.
