Request mark for translation

Hello! I would like to request the translation markup for this page, considering the related pages and the header template. I appreciate the help. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

@Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) Done. FYI, we don't wrap entire content within a single pair of translate tags. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 17:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, @Aafi! I added the translate tags as indicated in step 2 of this tutorial. Did I misunderstand something? Just to know for future cases. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

@Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+): Yes. Markup differs. In case of a page which has only text-content with headings, the markup is fine but when you have a page that had a lot of non-text content (links/codes/tables/and other stuff), we need to make sure we do not put that huge bulk within the tags. Each textual string will need to be separated. You will need to use tvars in case of links in between, etcetera. Perhaps take a look at our Internationalization guidelines, for an easy understanding. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 17:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Mark for translation-request

at Template:Rfc subpage, I tried to improve sorting. To make it work, the template might need to be marked for translation (even if that changes nothing visible). e 13:30, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Is my markup correct?

I just have translated the Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement page to Ukrainian: Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement/uk.

The origin page includes the {{WMF Advancement Side Nav}} template.

I want to mark it up for translation. I've never done this before and my attempt of editing the original template was unsuccessful, so I made a copy at {{WMF Advancement Side Nav - test}}.

Please check if it is correct and help to finish making {{WMF Advancement Side Nav}} ready for translation. Thank you! Perohanych (talk) 15:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Seems ok, but I would either include the complete markup (with asterisks and brackets) into the translate tags and use tvars to exclude the link, or only put the translatable text inside the tags. Personally, I prefer the latter, because there is no context needed for the translation of the text and therefore the link syntax can just be excluded. –MrBenjo (talk) 16:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I have applied the following changes:

• You first attempt was good, but the tvar’s were useless since they were not inside translate tags. Also, the tvar numbering should start at 1 again in each unit.
• Since you’re linking sections, you can only target the anchor, skipping the page name. Else the full page will reload when you click on the link.
• The language tag should be inside noinclude tag, else you will see the language bar in the transcluding page.
• By the way, to make a second list level, we should use ** instead of :*. Colons should never be used to indent text, they mean “here is the description of the previous term” (the term is preceded with a semi-colon).

Thank you, Pols12. I tried to copy your template code from {{WMF Advancement Side Nav - test}} to {{WMF Advancement Side Nav}} but it does not work correctly at the Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement page and the language versions like: Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement/uk. Could you please help. --Perohanych (talk) 07:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

The next step is marking the page for translation. Only translation admins can perform it. I just have marked the template.

Thank you, Pols12! What should I do (or what should be done) to get the {{WMF Advancement Side Nav - test}} marked by translation admins? --Perohanych (talk) 15:34, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

A simple request on this page is sufficient. I can do it, but are you sure you want a test template to be translatable? Encouraging translators to spend time to translate an unused draft seems a bad idea.

Expand Tagalog main page

Can you expand Tagalog main page link Main Page/tl Allan Candido Guedes - ACG (talk) 03:26, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Could you further explain what you mean by this request? I am not quite sure, what you mean with “expanding” the link. If you want to have the page translated, feel free to do so yourself (in case you speak the language) or find a person who speaks this language. If you mean something else, please provide more details. –MrBenjo (talk) 11:01, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
