Hello Pginer, i have a question, ¿when Section translation could be enabled for Spanish Wikipedia? Thanks.

Thanks @Rodney Araujo for your interest in the tool and your help on the project.

We just enabled Section Translation on Bengali Wikipedia as an early release, and we plan to improve the tool further before considering other wikis. There are several areas of the tool that need improvement and we want to hear from a smaller group of editors first to iterate and make the tool better. So it may still take several weeks until we can move to the next stage.

Hearing about the interest on the tool is very encouraging for us, and it is very useful to know where there are users interested in the tool that can help us make it better. So we'd definitely consider Spanish Wikipedia as we plan for enabling more wikis.

Thanks!

@Pginer-WMF: Are you going to communicate with Spanish Wikipedia community about Section translation?

Pginer-WMF (talkcontribs)

Right now the tool is in a very early stage with several important aspects still missing. Once we complete a few cycles of development we'll be doing wider announcements.

Currently we have just announced the enablement on Bengali Wikipedia. Once we get feedback from this community to improve the tool we'll consider expanding (and communicating) to other wikis.

Bonjour, Je vois que la traduction de es à fr est possible.

Our tools integrate multiple translation services. You can get a list of the services and the supported languages in the documentation. Due to limitations of the test instance for Section Translation, only those languages supported by Apertium, Matxin and OpusMT are available. However, all services will be available when the tool is available on a real wiki.

@Rodney Araujo Section translation is now available on Test Wikipedia. This is a test environment better integrated with our infrastructure, where more machine translation services are available. Thus, you can try the tool using Google translate or Yandex in more languages and without the need to create a separate account. The results are still published in the test instance (not the real wiki) but you can copy the resulting content anywhere else.

I hope this is useful until we enable the tool in more Wikipedias.
