- (More related to Wikidata Lexeme than to CX, although can possibly be connected, too): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T186420 and other tasks related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T186421
Possible work areas for Barcelona
[edit]These are some areas that could be of interest for the hackathon. Please check the linked Phabricator tickets to get more details or share any comments.
- Learn about machine translation possibilities (T194353). A session on Saturday about how you can use machine translation in your projects.
- Prototype mobile translation ideas (T192067). Design solutions for a fluent and engaging way to contribute for new editors on mobile by translating. Help build prototypes to validate these ideas.
- Support translation lists (T188634). Implement a solution to allow translators to keep their translations of choice in a list for organising their work in Content Translation.
- Facilitate selecting articles to translate (T105130). Make the dialog to start a new translation in Content translation to be as flexible as possible.
- Find missing articles in a given area of interest (T113257). Extend the current list of suggested articles in Content Translation for users to pic a specific category to get suggestions for.
- Notify translators about incomplete translations (T106693). Encourage users to continue their translations.
- Improve category suggestions for translations (T109276 and T135727). Suggest relevant categories when users try to add categories to their translation, based on parent categories and/or HotCat recommendations
