Project description:
Earwig's Copyvio Detector helps find copyright violations (or plagiarism) in Wikipedia articles. It supports both searching for content elsewhere on the web that's similar to the page, or visually comparing the page with a known URL. It's been around for over a decade at this point and is widely used by non-English wikis, and there have been longstanding requests to add localization. Finally, we're ready to do it!

@Earwig Can you please give access to the https://github.com/translatewiki bot to push code to https://github.com/earwig/copyvios?

Another question: I don't see a way for users to change the display language on https://copyvios.toolforge.org/. How will the translations be used?

I've invited translatewiki as a collaborator.

We're going to add a language dropdown in the top bar. I wasn't prioritizing that until this is set up, but I will add it soon (see the discussion at the bottom of https://github.com/earwig/copyvios/pull/68).

abi_ moved this task from Needs QA to Design acceptance on the LPL sprints (S2 2026 August) board.

Only thing pending on this ticket is to ensure that there is a way for users to change the language on the website.

I've setup a reminder to check for that so that we can close this task.
