translatewiki.net is a translation community and a localisation platform for free and open source projects. It started out with localisation for MediaWiki. Later support was added for MediaWiki extensions, FreeCol, and other free and open source projects. See the complete list of supported projects.

translatewiki.net is an independent open source project. The translation functionality is provided by the MediaWiki extension Translate. This wiki always contains experimental code, and may be broken occasionally. Please be patient, problems are usually dealt with quickly. Issues can be reported at the Support page.

Why use translatewiki.net

  • The best translation tool available on the web. All localisation updates happen on an easy interface, and there are people around who can help translators. When making a translation, hints to understand its correct meaning and use are provided, as well as suggestions from translation memory and machine translation services.
  • No particular privileges required, everyone can contribute. Everyone who can contribute in a language (see below) is allowed to help with the localisation of that language.
  • Keeping track of changes is easy. Untranslated messages are not the only easily found: whenever the source text changes, the affected translations are tagged for easy identification. Translators do not have to spend time digging what needs doing.

Overview of translatewiki.net method

  • On translatewiki.net, translators translate the interface of software for products where the English text strings have been isolated from the code and have been organized into individual "messages".
  • When a new project joins, the English source messages are imported, as well as any existing translations. New and changed English messages are imported multiple times a day.
  • Message documentation is written manually and is usually of better quality where good communication exists with the original software developer team. If source code comments are part of a software project, these are also displayed in the translation interface.
  • Translators make suggestions to improve or correct an original English message, or adapt it to support localisation. If agreed, these are either implemented by translatewiki.net members who are also developers on the relevant project, or reported to the project developers.
  • Completed translations for each language are "committed" to the projects by translatewiki.net staff, as soon as the total number of translations for a project in that language has passed the threshold agreed for that project. For frequency of committing and thresholds see the project page of the project in question.
  • The software release of translations which have been committed to a project is controlled and executed by the project administrators and is out of the hands of translatewiki.net.

Geschicht

translatewiki.net started in 2006 as a test wiki, developed by Niklas Laxström, in collaboration with Gangleri, as an internationalisation and localisation tool for the MediaWiki software. It started under the name Betawiki, which became translatewiki.net at the beginning of 2009, following the site's move to virtual server hosting under its own domain name on November 9, 2007. By October 2007, translatewiki.net was contributing to localisation in around 70 languages, which by June 2010 had grown to 329 languages. How the number of languages has grown is visible in the table of translation milestones passed for MediaWiki. By January 2010, an upgrade was needed to the server capacity to cope with the increase in activity. Netcup has generously hosted translatewiki.net since November 2007.

Other free and open source projects have gradually been added to translatewiki.net, starting with FreeCol in August 2007. By June 2010, the number of projects supported had grown to 16, and by December 2019, this number had grown to 46.

Most contributors to translatewiki.net are volunteers. Developers, administrators, and translators were initially recruited from MediaWiki projects, especially Wikimedia. Most of our contributors still arrive here via MediaWiki, but with more projects arriving all the time, MediaWiki is no longer the only source of contributors. By June 2010, the number of registered translators was 1,860. In June 2018, the number of registered translators is 19,000.

In collaboration with Stichting Open Progress and FUDforum, translatewiki.net has arranged several translation rallies with bounties for translators available to improve the localisation of MediaWiki and FUDforum.

The aims of translatewiki.net are described on the Introduction page. Technological aids to translators are described on the Technology page. These aids are continually being expanded and improved in order to make the translation work as efficient as possible. Current site needs and development are described on Phabricator.
