Hi everyone,
This is a quick notice and a call for help from translators: likely next
week, we'll be launching a new experiment aimed at helping newly-registered
editors, called task recommendations. You can check out the UI by looking
at the design specification (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Task_recommendations) and our research
documentation (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Task_recommendations/Experiment_one
)
The good news: the main interfaces are well translated enough for us to
launch our A/B test in 12 languages...
- English
- German
- French
- Spanish
- Italian
- Russian
- Chinese
- Ukrainian
- Swedish
- Dutch
- Hebrew
The bad news: we needed to add some error messages for the rare occasion
that something goes wrong. These are *almost* merged and will ideally also
get translated too.
If you speak these languages and/or know someone who is a translator on
Translatewiki, then it would be great to keep an eye out for untranslated
strings coming soon in the GettingStarted extension.
If you're curious about how the recommendations are generated or anything
else, let me know. :)
Thanks,
