Hey Ziko

We have moved our medical translation efforts, such that MDWiki is our starting point.

https://mdwiki.org/wiki/WikiProjectMed:Translation_task_force

1) We have also encountered a reference template issue with CTX but have built a work around. Our issue appears to relate to <ref name=ABC/> and the same reference being used multiple times. What we do is we simply expand all the metadata for each instance of the reference before feeding the text into CTX. And then we have a bot that shortens all the instances of a reference back to one.

2) One of the benefits of using MDWiki is it allows us to keep references in the lead and use language that is easier to understand, but not be forced to use language as easy as Simple English. It has also allowed us to automatically generate a leaderboard to track progress and impact of our translation efforts. Additionally we only encourage people to translate the leads as that is only that has been medically checked for accuracy. https://mdwiki.toolforge.org/Translation_Dashboard/leaderboard.php

Thanks, Ziko. Does anyone use Simple English Wikipedia as a basis for their translations?

I reckon DeepL – which is by far the best machine translation program around, in the languages it covers – might do an even better job with those (provided the Simple English article is itself of good quality, and worth translating).
