Enabling Content and Section translation tool in Serbian Wikipedia

Здраво Friends!

Apologies as this message is not in your native language, Помозите у превођењу на свој језик.

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section and Content translation tool in Serbian Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test the new Section Translation tool so you can:

• Give us your feedback
• Ask us questions
• Tell us how to improve it

Below is background information about the tools and how you can test the Section translation tool.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015 and in Serbian Wikipedia, editors have used it to create more than five thousand, five hundred articles. However, the tool is not out of beta in Serbian Wikipedia, limiting the discoverability of the tool and its use and blocking the enablement of the Section translation in your Wikipedia.

Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

• Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones
• Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device

Serbian Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool based on a significant mobile activity in your Wikipedia. We plan to enable the tools on Serbian Wikipedia in the coming week if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page

Try the Section translation tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Serbian Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation on the project talk page. We want to hear about your impressions on

• The section translation tool
• What do you think about our plans to enable it
• Your ideas for improving the tool

Thanks and we look forward to your feedback and questions

Content and Section Translation tool enabled in Serbian Wikipedia

Здраво Friends!

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we have enabled the Section translation and Content translation tools in Serbian Wikipedia.

The Content translation tool can be discovered by users through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation can disable it from their preferences. Also, with the Section translation tool, you can start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Serbian. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for српски. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.

Image of the entry point

We know that these tools will help translators in your community to add content using any device with ease. Content created with the Content and Section Translation tool will be marked with the "contenttranslation" and “sectiontranslaiton” tag, respectively, for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tools and reviewing the content created with it. So, enjoy the tools and provide feedback on improving it. Thank you!

Your wiki will be in read only soon

Read this message in another language • Помозите у превођењу на свој језик

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 1 March 2023.
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

The survey has three main topics: experience with grants and opinions, what kind of tools you used and want to use, and also what kind of support you want to have from the CEE Hub, which will help us in shaping the second year of the CEE Hub.

Please dedicate 15 minutes of your free time and submit your answers on this link.

Hello there,

We are glad to announce the new members and advisors of the Elections Committee. The Elections Committee assists with the design and implementation of the process to select Community- and Affiliate-Selected trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. After an open nomination process, the strongest candidates spoke with the Board and four candidates were asked to join the Elections Committee. Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.

Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees,

RamzyM (WMF) 20:00, 28. јун 2023. (CEST)

MinT Machine Translation added to your Wikipedia

Здраво!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

The WMF Language team has added another machine translation (MT) system for Content Translation in your Wikipedia called MinT; you can use MinT machine translation when translating Wikipedia articles using the Content and Section Translation tool.

The WMF Language team provides the MinT service. It is hosted in the Wikimedia Foundation Infrastructure with neural machine translation models that other organizations have released with an open-source license. MinT integrates translation based on NLLB-200, OpusMT, IndicTrans2 and Softcatalà. This MT is set as optional in your Wikipedia. Still, you can choose not to use it by selecting "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.

Since MinT is hosted in the WMF Infrastructure and the models are open source, it adheres to Wikipedia's policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user and brand representation. You can find more information about the MinT machine translation and the models on this page.

Please note that the use of the MinT MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:

• use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
• provide feedback about its quality, and if you prefer the MinT machine translation as default in your Wikipedia.

We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content Translation tool.

Thank you!

Places named Chapin in the United States

Hello,

I am not a specialist of the way English names are rendered in Serbian, but shouldn't be Chapin Cyrillized as Чапин instead of Чаплин in Чаплин (Ајова), Чаплин (Јужна Каролина) and Чаплин (Илиноис)?

Thanks! — Cosmophilus (разговор) 17:15, 11. август 2023. (CEST)

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

Више језика • Помозите у превођењу на свој језик

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best,

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 17:35, 28. август 2023. (CEST)

Coming soon: Reference Previews

A new feature is coming to your wiki soon: Reference Previews are popups for references. Such popups have existed on wikis as local gadgets for many years. Now there is a central solution, available on all wikis, and consistent with the PagePreviews feature.

Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them, you can opt out. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.

Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.

• Help page
• Project page with more information (in English).
• Feedback is welcome on this talk page.
