As machine translation becomes available in more languages with MinT and NLLB-200 models, we want to expose the improved translation tools more broadly to facilitate the creation of content for those communities.
This ticket selects a second set of languages, after T337290, that had no machine translation services available before. This ticket proposes to enable machine transition using MinT, set Content Translation as a default tool, and enable the mobile experience with Section Translation.
As part of this process, we'll generate the template parameter alignments (T221211) for these languages, enable access to the tool in test wiki, and communicate with the different communities to inform them about the changes.
These are the languages selected for this task:
- Crimean Tatar (crh/crh_Latn)
- Faroese (fo/fao_Latn)
- Friulian (fur/fur_Latn)
- Ligurian (lij/lij_Latn)
- Limburgish (li/lim_Latn)
- Lombard (lmo/lmo_Latn)
- Silesian (szl/szl_Latn)
- Shan (shn/shn_Mymr)
- Venetian (vec/vec_Latn)
- Waray (war/war_Latn)
Steps:
- Enable MinT for the selected languages.
- Enable selected wikis on Test Wikipedia.
- Communicate with the communities. In progress
