Hi,
We are thinking about using Extension:Translate. How do you CYA for inaccurate translations, esp when it comes to translating pages that outline wiki policies and rules?
I was thinking of requiring a disclaimer for all translated pages that says (translated, of course) something like:
Note: this page has been translated from the English version of this page. The English version should be considered the authoritative version in any case of conflict between this translation and the original English version.
Is this a reasonable idea or are there already an extension feature or process in place that does the same thing?
Thanks, Al
Yes, you can use a template, and you can make that template translatable as well.
You can also try to configure and use "workflow states". See the documentation here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Quality_assurance https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Message_group_states
