Content Translation
[edit]Updates from the ongoing development and deployment for Content Translation. (Newsletter)
Development Update
[edit]- The link tool was improved to add any internal or external link to the translation.
- The CX Stats page is now accessible from CX dashboard
- Several bug fixes based on the feedback from users. Also based on the observations and feedback at Wikimania workshop and translathon
- Publishing error issues were analysed and reduced. A brief information about the cause of publishing error is shown to users.
- CXServer is starting to use the permanent section identifiers from RESTBase. This will help to correctly restore the draft translations even if the source article changes while translation is in progress

Other projects
[edit]Updates from Translate, Universal Language Selector, MLEB and other projects.
Development Update
[edit]- Translate extension saw a usual number (16) of maintenance commits and bug fixes. Highlights include translation search feature improvements by phoenix303 as part of Outreachy program as well as removal of lots of legacy code associated with the deprecated non-TUX translation interface.
- Translatewiki.net has been migrated to two new and more powerful servers. Thanks to the donated servers and work around for an issue that caused HHVM instability, the website is now significantly faster. Translatewiki.net is an independent project supporting interface translations for many open source projects including MediaWiki.
- Universal Language Selector had bug fixes related to the migration to extension.json and can now load jquery.i18n from core if present thanks to James Forrester.
Usage Data
[edit]- MLEB was not released this month. Latest release, 2015.04, has been downloaded 337 times so far, which indicates that we have about 100 downloads per month for the latest stable release. 22 (+3 since last month) public wikis are using a MLEB released in 2015 according to Wikiapiary.
- Translatable pages: Meta 1883 (+65); MediaWiki.org 2443 (+10); Commons 385 (+3)
- Translate extension is installed to 190 wikis, more than half of them using MLEB, according to Wikiapiary
Deployments and other site related updates
[edit]- Content Translation has been deployed in the English wikipedia this month

On the first day 21 new articles were created in just an hour by 16 participants. The second translathon (notes) was aimed at Central and South American languages and conducted in Spanish.
