The ContentTranslation extension is a tool that allows editors to translate an article from one language to another with the help of machine translation and other translation aids. See ꯃꯅꯨꯡꯒꯤ ꯑꯌꯥꯎꯕ ꯍꯟꯗꯣꯛꯄ for background and additional information. The extension is being developed by the Wikimedia Language Engineering team.

This extension requires a Content Translation server to be setup first. Morover it has three extension dependencies.

• <translate> [[<tvar name=2>Special:ExtensionDistributor/ContentTranslation/mni</tvar>|Download]] and move the extracted <tvar name=name>ContentTranslation/mni</tvar> folder to your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> directory.</translate>
  <translate> Developers and code contributors should install the extension [[<tvar name=git>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</tvar>|from Git]] instead, using:</translate>cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation%2Fmni
• <translate> Only when installing from Git, run <tvar name=composer>Composer</tvar> to install PHP dependencies, by issuing <tvar name=code>composer install --no-dev</tvar> in the extension directory.</translate> <translate> (See <tvar name=phab><translate> task <tvar name=1>T173141</tvar></translate></tvar> for potential complications.)</translate>
• <translate> Add the following code at the bottom of your <tvar name=1>LocalSettings.php </tvar> file:</translate>

  wfLoadExtension( 'ContentTranslation/mni' );
  

• <translate> Run the [[<tvar name=update>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Update.php</tvar>|update script]] which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.</translate>
• File:OOjs UI icon check-constructive.svg <translate> Done</translate> – <translate> Navigate to <tvar name=special>Special:Version</tvar> on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.</translate>

<translate> Vagrant installation:</translate>

• <translate> If using <tvar name=vagrant>Vagrant </tvar>, install with <tvar name=code>vagrant roles enable contenttranslation --provision</tvar></translate>

Content Translation server

The extension needs the Content Translation server (a.k.a. cxserver) up and running. See Content translation/cxserver/Setup for setting up the Content Translation server. When running Content Translation locally, following can be added to LocalSettings.php to use production cxserver:

$wgContentTranslationSiteTemplates['cx'] = 'https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v1';

Translations database

This extension has an optional dashboard feature, which allows translators to see all the translations across all languages. In a multilingual installation of this extension, for example in Wikimedia wikis, a central database is required to serve the dashboard feature. Table definitions for that database are in sql directory in the extension source code; Content translation/Product Definition/Database has more details. Once database is created, set the $wgContentTranslationDatabase global configuration variable as the name of database:

$wgContentTranslationDatabase = 'db_name';

Extension dependencies

ContentTranslation depends on the following extensions:

UniversalLanguageSelector	<translate> Required</translate>
VisualEditor	<translate> Required</translate>	ꯁꯦꯝꯒꯠꯅꯕ ꯆꯪꯕ ꯄꯣꯠꯂꯝꯁꯤꯡ
Cite	<translate> Required</translate>	Required if you want to support references while translating.
GuidedTour	<translate> Optional</translate>	If installed, it will be used to show an explanation about moving a page out of user space.
Echo	<translate> Optional</translate>	If installed, it will be used for showing "congratulations" notifications after completing translation milestones.
Wikibase	<translate> Optional</translate>	If installed and configured similarly to Wikipedia, it will be used for automatic addition of interlanguage links (as sitelinks).
EventLogging	<translate> Optional</translate>	If installed, can be used to log publishing, errors, and other events.
BetaFeatures	<translate> Optional</translate>	If installed, ContentTranslation will appear as a beta feature in the preferences.

For the full list and defaults, see extension.json in the source repository.

ContentTranslationDomainCodeMapping

Used to map between non-standard language codes and actual domains. The default is the same as in Wikipedia codes and domains.

ContentTranslationRESTBase

Configuration of RESTBase URL and connection parameters. The defaults are for Wikipedia.

ContentTranslationDatabase

The name of the database in which the common tables for managing translations across wikis are stored. The default is null, which means that the default database is used.

ContentTranslationCluster

In a Wikipedia-like database configuration, the name of the cluster on which the database is hosted. The default is null, which means that the default cluster is used.

ContentTranslationEventLogging

Whether EventLogging is enabled. The default is false.

ContentTranslationHighMTCategory

A category to which pages that have a high level of machine translation are added upon publishing. The default is null.

ContentTranslationSiteTemplates

Templates for essential URLs. The defaults assume Wikipedia, so this variable must be configured differently for other sites. Where relevant, $1 is replaced by the language code, and $2 is replaced by the page title.

ContentTranslationTranslateInTarget

Whether to open Special:ContentTranslation in the target wiki when clicking the button in the entry point. The domain will be based on $wgContentTranslationSiteTemplates. The default is to open Special:ContentTranslation on the same wiki. (For Wikipedia this is set to true.)

ContentTranslationAsBetaFeature

Whether ContentTranslation is a beta feature.

ContentTranslationTargetNamespace

The default target namespace for published articles. The default is Main.

ContentTranslationCampaigns

Campaigns that are available in the URL as valid values for the campaign parameter in the URL. This allows automatic enabling of the beta feature and event logging.

ContentTranslationCXServerAuth

CXServer connection configuration.

ContentTranslationEnableSuggestions

Whether to use the suggestions tab and automatic suggestions. This needs the GapFinder API. This is false by default, but true in Wikipedia.

RecommendToolAPIURL

The URL for the GapFinder API, needed if ContentTranslationEnableSuggestions is true.

Url parameters

Content Translation mainly works on the special page Special:ContentTranslation. The URL parameters are

• page: source title
• targettitle: target title
• from: source language
• to: target language
• campaign: campaign name
  • In Wikimedia wikis, if content translation is not enabled in the user settings then only links to pre-defined campaign will work. Campaings are defined in InitialiseSettings.php wmgContentTranslationCampaigns variable.

Example

• https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation?campaign=wiki-for-human-rights&page=Arja_Havakka&from=fi&to=en&targettitle=Arja_Havakka
