Enabling Section Translation: a new mobile translation experience

नमस्कार Angika Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें.

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know about our plans to enable the Section translation tool in Angika Wikipedia. For this, our team would want you to read about the tool and test it so you can:

• Give us your feedback

• Ask us questions

• Tell us how to improve it.

Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February 2021 in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and provide feedback to make it better.

Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

• Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.

• Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.

Angika Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since it has a Content Translation tool enabled by default.

We plan to enable the tool by 15th of February 2024, if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:

• As a reply to this message

• On the project talk page.

Try the tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Angika Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://anp.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:

• The tool

• What you think about our plans to enable it

• Your ideas for improving the tool.

Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback.

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Angika Wikipedia

नमस्कार Angika Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language. कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें.

The WMF Language and Product Localization team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.

The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.

Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Angika Wikipedia.

Who can access it

Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.

For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.

This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.          

We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 9th November 2024.

We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.

We look forward to your response soon.

Thank you!

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool

नमस्कार Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language, कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें.

The Language and Product Localization team has improved the Content Translation dashboard to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device.

With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users now have access to the capabilities shown in the image below.

Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic).  Also, users can use translation to create new articles (as before) and expand existing articles section by section. You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard  in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.

In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.

We will implement this improvement on your wiki on Monday, March 17th, 2025 and remove the current dashboard by May 2025. Please reach out with any questions concerning the dashboard in this thread.

Thank you!

On behalf of the Language and Product Localization team.

Editing contest about Norway

Hello! Please excuse me from writing in English. If this post should be posted on a different page instead, please feel free to move it (or tell me to move it).

I am Jon Harald Søby from the Norwegian Wikimedia chapter, Wikimedia Norge. During the month of April, we are holding an editing contest about India on the Wikipedias in Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Northern Sámi and Inari Sámi̩, and we had the idea to also organize an "inverse" contest where contributors to Indian-language Wikipedias can write about Norway and Sápmi.

Therefore, I would like to invite interested participants from the Angika-language Wikipedia (it doesn't matter if you're from India or not) to join the contest by visiting this page in the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia and following the instructions that are there.

Hope to see you there! Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (वार्ता) १५:५७, ४ अप्रैल २०२५ (IST)
