Please provide feedback about the Content translation tool on this page.

We suggest checking the Frequently Asked Questions page first.

When reporting a bug, it will help a lot if you will indicate the following things:

• Which article were you translating and to which language
• Which browser did you use (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.)
• If you're getting any errors, please provide log from browser console if possible. To open browser console: press Ctrl+Shift+j (or cmd+alt+J () on a Mac).

In case you are familiar with Phabricator, please consider reporting a bug there.

I was translating this page to Spanish on Firefox and I can't translate the "Downloading subtitles from YouTube" section; the warning says "unknown error".

Browser console log: NotFoundError: No such JSProcessActor 'BrowserToolboxDevToolsProcess' Missing resource in locale es-CL: devtools/client/toolbox.ftl

Update: got the same error and problem on the section "Machine Transcription" and on the first paragraph of "Creating subtitles with whisper.cpp".

I tried to do the translation on a Chromium based browser (Brave) and I still had the same error. Console log: This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "mediawiki.ui.button".

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

Hay un problema general

Parece que arreglado

He perdut molt de treball.

Sorry

I have done three translations recently. I've noticed some errors that are recurring. Sometimes a notification pops up indicating that there have been changes in the original article. I check the original article and it turns out not to be true. When I go into the translation page again, some paragraphs have not saved and I have to do them again. Moreover, after publishing the translation, some inline citations are not added and I have to add them manually. I also noticed other minor problems, but these are the main ones. Please correct these errors, as they discourage the use of the tool.

Translation tools should told us where is the rude words we should change

It is not the purpose of the Content Translation. Thanks.

Please enable Content Translation in Madurese Wikipedia into Madurese language.

@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.

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.

it works very incorrectly

Ciao, ogni volta che modifico anche un solo carattere nella parte tradotta mi rimanda nella parte da tradurre

Grazie
