Wiki.openstack.org now supports translations
Hello folks, I just wanted to quickly update the i18n team that OpenStack wiki now supports translations. For example, I marked for translation the release notes for Juno: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/Juno Pages need to be marked for translation and documentation on how to do that is on Mediawiki Translate help page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate The short version is: - Edit the page and add the tag <language /> on top - wrap the whole content of the page in the tags <translate> </translate> - save the page and follow instructions on the page itself Let me know if you have more questions. Regards, Stef PS thanks to Fungi for fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-ci/+bug/1254911 and Niklas Laxström (Nikerabbit) for fixing the issue upstream. -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
Hi Stefano,
I just wanted to quickly update the i18n team that OpenStack wiki now supports translations.
For example, I marked for translation the release notes for Juno:
Great news. Japanese team is translating some wiki pages for mainly first time contributors. So, cloud you add me as a translation administrator of Mediawiki Translate extension? Thanks, -- KATO Tomoyuki (To222)

Great question! The wiki works differently than other systems we use for translations and doesn't really have the concept of 'translation administrator'. Just like anybody with a Launchpad account can create and edit pages, anybody can contribute a translation. In order to translate a page you simply have to: - Click on "edit the page" (after you log in) - Put the content (usually the whole page) inside <translate></translate> tags - Save the page - Once the page is saved, look at the page and you'll see there is a URL added saying "Mark this page for translation" - Click on that link and follow instructions To see how that works, have a look at Juno Release notes page, check the source of the page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/Juno Hope this helps, Stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
Thanks for setting up the translation infra in OpenStack Wiki. We used it to translate the release note and it turns out really nice. I have one question on how and when strings in the source languages are reflected into translations. I added some contents to Neutron release notes according to the Neutron meeting discussion, but I don't see any change in Japanese translation side (no outdated entries). Is there any procedure to reflect change in English to translations? Thanks, Akihiro On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 1:24 AM, Stefano Maffulli <stefano@openstack.org> wrote:

Great to hear that.

Yes, indeed there is one extra step. Once you edit a page and save it, the page will show new text on top. For anonymous: This page contains changes which are not marked for translation. The word 'changes' links to the diff. If you're authenticated the text is slightly different and will allow to mark the new strings for translation, too. For example, on Juno release notes the diff is: https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=ReleaseNotes/Juno&oldid=65293&diff=66411 And this is the page where you can mark the new strings for translation: https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PageTranslation&target=ReleaseNotes%2FJuno Hope this helps, stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org

Pages need to be marked for translation and documentation on how to do that is on Mediawiki Translate help page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate
The short version is:
- Edit the page and add the tag <language /> on top - wrap the whole content of the page in the tags <translate> </translate> - save the page and follow instructions on the page itself
Let me know if you have more questions. Regards, Stef
