Maps in the language of your choice— try it out now on testwiki
by Joe Matazzoni 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

You can now display maps in languages of your choice on testwiki. I made two pages to demonstrate the new features, on testwiki [1] and testwiki2 [2] (embedded maps on test2 are dynamic; those on test are static until you click to pop up an enlargement). By default, internationalized maps display in the language of the wiki (which is English for the testwikis). So to experiment with these features, you’ll want to use the two new mapframe parameters we’ve added. Just insert them into your map frame tags. lang=”xx” Shows map labels in the language you specify with the short language codes used for each wiki. lang=“local” Shows map labels in the languages of the territory mapped (essentially opting out of internationalization). Right now, internationalization works only with mapframe, not maplink (which should be working some time next week). You can read more about this new feature and how to use it on the Map Improvements 2018 project page, under Updates [3]. Our plan is to wait a week or two and assess user comments about the feature. At that point, we’ll decide whether to move forward with a general release or keep making fixes. So please try the new features out and leave feedback on the Map Improvements 2018 talk page [4] . We’re listening!

Map internationalization: more on how the new maps work with OSM data
by Joe Matazzoni 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Following up on yesterday’s announcement encouraging people to try out internationalized maps on testwiki [1], I added more information today [2] about how the feature works. In particular, in yesterday’s post we introduced the new map parameter and value, lang=“local”, which causes a map to display in the language of the territory mapped—essentially turning off internationalization and reverting to the current (soon to be former) map behavior, which displays maps only in the language(s) of the territory mapped. The new post dives into the OpenStreetMap data quirks that make such a feature necessary and explains when you might want to use it. So if you’re interested in wiki maps, have a look. You can see the internationalization features in action on a sample page I put on testwiki [3]. And please remember to leave your feedback on the Map Improvements 2018 talk page [4]. We’re listening!

Have the update process from OSM stopped?
by Joe Matazzoni 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hans Rosback asks: >It looks to me as if the process of updating the maps from OSM for Kartographer has stopped. That is correct. We’re sorry not to have alerted this list. We paused the pulling of updates from OSM while generating a whole new set of map tiles ahead of the internationalization release[1]. The process will restart soon and should take a few days to catch up. Our engineers estimate that everything should be up to date again by Monday, the 30th. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Have the update process from OSM stopped?
by Hans A. Rosbach 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hi. It looks to me as if the process of updating the maps from OSM for Kartographer has stopped. I have just checked two changes I made 4 days ago on OSM, and they are not yet available in Wikipedia. A couple of updates I made 5 days ago are available however. It would also be useful to have some possibility to purge the map for a specific page. I have one example where the map looks correct for anonymous users, but for me logged in it is blank in the static map in the infobox. This is in no.wikipedia. Regards Hans (User:Haros)

An update on map internationalization
by Joe Matazzoni 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

This is to let you know that Collaboration Team is planning to release map internationalization next week for testing on testwiki. When it’s ready, we’ll post a note to confirm. Meanwhile, you might like to check out the detailed post I added last night to the Map Improvements 2018 project board: Special Update on Map Internationalization[1]. It includes a lot of information on the feature's status, how the it will work, how we imagine it might be useful, what the known limitations are, etc. I’m looking forward to getting your input on this challenging but important feature (the best place to leave your ideas and questions is on the project talk page [2]). Yours, Joe [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Map_improvements_2018#April_18,_2018,_Specia… <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Map_improvements_2018#April_18,_2018,_Specia…>[2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Map_improvements_2018 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Map_improvements_2018> _____________________ Joe Matazzoni Product Manager, Collaboration Wikimedia Foundation, San Francisco "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge."

Hi all, For translations which is the simplest tool. Nomino OSM FR is showing some error. This will be what many wikipedians looking for once this feature is rolled out. http://nomino.openstreetmap.fr I am getting any error while using nomino. Invalid Object. Thanks, Naveen Francis <http://wikibooks.in>
