Description
WARNING: We are in process of migrating to a Language and Product Localization and after that is done this project and related component will be archive.

This project contains tasks that are:

  • Tagged for the Language team for triaging
  • Monitored by the Language team
  • In the sprint work boards of the Language team
NOTE: After triaging a task, we usually remove this tag (Language-Team) and keep or add relevant component and sprint tasks.

Team

The Wikimedia Foundation Language team is responsible for providing standards based internationalization, localization support for Wikimedia sites and translation tools for the Wikimedia movement.


Maintenance levels

This team has lots of responsibilities, and it is not possible to pay full attention to all of them simultaneously. Hence we have documented different levels of attention to set the expectations both to other parties and ourselves. Projects move between different levels of maintenance during their life-time.

For the latter, probably needs T360494 for colors that are close to the existing ones.

I added a quick fix, as suggested by @Jdlrobson. But I think for the dark theme the colors need improvement.

Ebrahim added a comment to T367644: Ability to upload and render fonts in Wikimedia wikis.

Thinking more I think we can also consider possibility of allowing .ttf/.otf without any preview or use as a webfont as the first step, considering https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Noto_fonts it's already obvious what it can be useful for, archiving source fonts in addition to dumped glyph of each set and with the vision to reverse that and only keep the source font remove all the glyph dumps (or no longer uploading newer).

Isaac added a comment to T308164: Migrate Content Translation Recommendation API to Lift Wing.

Thanks for digging this up @kevinbazira ! I glanced through and much of it was the Content Translation Extension (which Language is working on porting) or copies of configuration from that repo. I did leave a message around the beta-labs settings from CodeSearch because that felt like something that should be removed when appropriate (T365347#9910134) and could possibly be missed. The only piece I wasn't sure about was the uMatrix code. And then maybe some other random uses but they all seemed to be older, unmaintained repos. Feel free to reach out obviously where you feel useful but based on the searches you pulled together, I feel like we're in a pretty good place!

here's the API Gateway documentation for the content translation recommendation API hosted on LiftWing: https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lift_Wing_API/Reference/Get_content_translation_recommendation

:face-palm: I completely missed that. Thanks @kevinbazira ! For posterity, I used Global Search (query) to find user-script usages of the old API and either left a message or asked Amir S. to fix them (as he had been involved with their creation):

@kevinbazira will we have a page on the API Gateway to link to as documentation purposes (something like this)? I've been helping a few folks who are migrating user scripts and other uses of the old Cloud VPS endpoint to the new LiftWing one and it'd be nice to have a page showing the expected parameters etc.
