Info request on new Wiki translations - any automatic handling of translation headers and translated pages?
Hi all,
sorry if this is been discussed elsewhere. I gave a look at the new test
wiki at wiki2025.debian.org and I wasn't able to find a dummy translated
page to have an idea.
Is there a more "automatic" way in which translations will be handled by
the new wiki. Especially considering that, in the current one, the
translation header at the top has to be maintained manually both for the
English master page and the translations (though for that we created the
work around of including the header from the master page). I think there
is, if I look at Wikipedia for instance.
What about links inside a page, would there be an automated way to
create links to translated pages.
What I mean is, right now when there is a (interwiki)link in a page, a
translator (at least me, I hope I was not missing some obvious feature)
has to check if there is a translated page for that link and point the
link there or otherwise point to the English page. Will there be an
automated way in which the Wiki knows if there is a translated version
of a page and points there if there is, or automatically defaults to
English if there is not?
Wikipedia does not work this way, but it would be great if it was possible.
In our case the translated pages are considered just a "byproduct" of
the English ones.
Though there would be exceptions to this rule to manage for all the
local/localization pages, so I am not sure if I am asking too much :S
Minor thing, is there a function to subscribe to a page so as to be
notified of changes?
Thanks in advance for any help on this,
beatrice
