Hello James, Interesting, what extra tools you have there. Andreas, in theory Simple English Wikipedia would be great as an international platform for the dissemination of articles. But in reality I have the impression that the content of S.E.WP is very uneven, the quality is very diverse. Galder, nice to hear of these initiatives and what is all possible in a joint action. Kind regards Ziko

Hey Ziko
We have moved our medical translation efforts, such that MDWiki is our starting point.
https://mdwiki.org/wiki/WikiProjectMed:Translation_task_force
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.
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
Best James

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).
