I'm pinging Maria with the hope that she might know a Spanish language bot
builder who might be able to help. (:

Hi
A number of my students are currently translating technical articles from
English to Spanish and we have run into a problem....
Es.wiki does not recognize the database reference templates such as cite
pmid and cite doi. A student who knows something about computers looked
into it a bit and told me that the reason is that those templates function
with a bot that scrapes the reference information from the database.
However, it only functions in en.wiki. We either need a bot for es.wiki or
the en.wiki bot needs to be modified to be able to send the scraped info to
other languages. This student tells me he does not know how to do either.
In two weeks we have a major editathon, with a large chunk of the
student/participants working on translations, preferably articles relating
to their majors. We are talking 250+ students on three campuses.
Right now, we get around this problem by using the cita publicación
template in es.wiki but of course it would make life a lot easier if we
dont have to teach dozens of students or more how to do this.
Can anyone help?
Leigh
