@UOzurumba (WMF) Hello, I'm a member from Vietnamese wikipedia. I'm specialized in translating contents from English to Vietnamese on Vietnamese wikipedia. Recently, I've opened the content translation. Then I found out there were no page available on translating column. I wondered what had happened with translating column? And how this issue will be fixed. Thanks!!

There is a widespread problem

I appear to be having the exact same issue. Slightly different with different browsers, but ultimately cannot translate any page.

Appears to be fixed now. 👍🏻

Thank you, @Cdehesa906 and @Unflyingobject, for highlighting this issue. Could you please provide an update on whether it is working as expected?

It seems to work now, thanks

Thanks for the confirmation.

La pàgina m'apareix en blanc. Què puc fer?

Hay un problema general

Parece que arreglado

He perdut molt de treball.

Hi there,

I am an extended confirmed user on wp:en and want to translate an article to wp:fr. I already used the tool multiple times, but today, it doesn't seem to work: the generated interface is displayed in blank with the sole "On the English Wikipedia this tool is limited to extended confirmed editors, and the machine translation component is disabled for all users (see WP:CXT)." message.

Is there anything going on?

Thanks.

The same problem in Russia

Same in Israel

Same in the Czech rep.

Same in Spain

All the translated content simply disappeared, I was translating the article ''religion in Scotland'' from English to Portuguese, today when I opened it the content disappeared, and I can't publish it.

Hello, here is some info about: Iam using google chrome Translating the "Melbourne Cup" english to portuguese. I search several times and there is no save button, the article saves automatically, but it didn't save anymore and I lost hours of work. But I will never use the translation tool here in wikipedia, rather use other forms of translation.

@GabrielRF12, sorry about this issue; I have reported it in this phabricator ticket.

I appreciate your patience.
