Great job during the Hackathon, everyone! If you want to keep learning and keep contributing to technical documentation, here are instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation/Contribute.
If you want to reach out to the maintainers of the tool you documented, to talk to them about where to add what you wrote in "official" documentation for the https://enwikt-translations.toolforge.org/ tool, I suggest you should start a discussion on their User page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erutuon

I have also added them as a subscriber to this task in case Phabricator is a better way to communicate.

Thanks again for your amazing work this weekend.

Unfortunately this tool is out of date. It is showing translations from the versions of English Wiktionary pages that existed more than a year ago. I haven't updated the database since then.

Oh

Though it was stated not actively maintained, but what can be done to
revitalize the tool and make it functional. Team 12 love this tool.

Hello Erutuon, thank you for this information. We will appreciate it if you can show us the steps to follow in order to update the database.
