And the data that GTTK gathers from its use in Wikipedia translations? What would need to happen for that to start coming back, in a usable form?
The translated segments are available to all translators in Translator Toolkit. When other volunteers use Translator Toolkit to translate other Wikipedia articles, the segments will be available to them.
Following interwiki links and suggesting parent categories is a bit of
work
and unlikely to be implemented soon. We can disable category translation
if
that helps - can you confirm if that's OK?
As I vaguely recall from someone posting study results on the question, not all interwiki links are good, but ones that are a 1:1 match generally seem to be.
(I frequently use Wikipedia interwiki links as a guide to translating single words casually.)
