<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">Hi,</font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">So I just finished the Esperanto
translation of "<a
href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=agg-2017_Wikimedia_movement_strategy_process&language=eo&filter=&action=translate">Message
group > All >2017 Wikimedia Movement Strategy Portal</a>"
(reviewers are welcome), and I'm begining to look at <a
href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/eo">the
result</a> to see if I see problems which are more obvious in
context. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">Falling in this criteria, is the
string "<span class="twelve columns sourcemessage" dir="ltr"
lang="en">Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Team", that had
been (oddly) translated to "Strategy/Wikimedia
movement/2017/Teama", probably from the idea it would be a
section title, as it's a common formatting in (at least)
Technews. <br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">But it happend to in fact
just be a internal link target. So, I went back to the
translator interface, searched "2017/Teama", found a string
and replaced it with the original string. Now going to the
resulting page, it doesn't change anything, even after a
"?action=purge" and browser cache cleaning. So, ever
translation have an other specific cache, or the message I
reversed is not the one I'm looking for, but then I have no
idea how to find it, as </span><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">"2017/Teama" doesn't return
result anymore. Do you have any idea what's going on?</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">An other point I noticed,
is that translation variables carrying a link target might
inconsistently include the "Special:MyLanguage/" prefix or
not. So sometime you do have to explicitly add </span></font><font
face="Linux Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">"Special:MyLanguage/" and
sometime, you shouldn't, as prefixing it multiple time will
only perform the redirection for the first occurrence. That is
"</span></font><font face="Linux Biolinum O"><span
class="twelve columns sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en"><font
face="Linux Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">Special:MyLanguage/</span></font></span></font><font
face="Linux Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns
sourcemessage" dir="ltr" lang="en">Special:MyLanguage/Example"
will lead to the page "</span></font><font face="Linux
Biolinum O"><span class="twelve columns sourcemessage" dir="ltr"
lang="en">Special:MyLanguage/Example".</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">Also, how can I find the history of
a specific string? I think the translation interface should
provide some direct link to the string dedicated page. What is
your opinion about that?<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">By the way, do we have consultation
statistics for each page easily accessible somewhere? I think it
would also be interesting to have a direct access to something
like that, along the "This page was last modified on" statement.
<br>

Kind regards,</font></p>
