Create a screencast for the translation process and basic features of CX
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Screencast with basic instructions. Ideally it should be short and we can call it "How to create a Wikipedia article in 3 minutes with Content Translation".

We need to figure out:

  • Which languages use as an example ( do we want one screencast as an example, one that covers several translations, or several covering a single translation).
  • Which languages to provide voice and/or subtitles for.

A possible script ( Amir outlined also some ideas):

  • Get started:
    • Log-in or create a Wikipedia account.
    • Enable beta feature.
    • Access the dashboard (where in-progress translations are kept), and start a translation.
  • Basic features:
    • Add each paragraph with a click. Formatting is preserved, and images can be added in one click.
    • Translate as much as you want. The idea is to get started.
    • Machine translation provides an initial text to improve. You can disable MT or discard it for a specific paragraph.
    • Links and categories are automatically adapted.
    • Progress on the translation is saved automatically so that you can resume later. Once you are happy with the result, you can publish it.
    • Publish and keep editing it with the help of the community.
  • Invite to try it!

I wonder if this could be split up into subtasks with some provided narrative, and become task(s) that a contributor (e.g. GCI) could work on...

I created T76848, not sure how to make this a subtask (I only see options to create new sub-tasks).

@Pginer-WMF: Would using "Edit Blocking Tasks" work?
