We've decided to keep it really simple. We'll pick the interface language
from the user's language setting & disable the endorsements on translated
pages. We are assuming the primary grant language as english, till such
time that the mediawiki bug is fixed or we decide to tag the page with a
language marker inside the wikitext ourselves (It'll be local to our
gadget
though).
Ok, it’s easier for now. Anyway could you use a subpage "/Endorsements" to
avoid changing the main page? Else there will be always a message on the
top "mark this page for the translation" and the endorsements on the
translated pages will hardly stay synchronised with the main page. Such a
subpage can be transcluded on main page and translations with
"{{:Grants:IEG/Heather's test/Endorsements}}".

either.
No, the Translate extension is thought to keep alignment between
languages, hence it is forbidden to change translated pages. Since your
script cannot add endorsement on translated pages, I suggest adding the
endorsements on a common page (e.g. "IEG name/Endorsements") and it will
also avoid changing a translatable page (translation admins will not
like
continuously marking pages to be translated and I’m not sure it is
needed
to translate the endorsements). On a common page, perhaps the
multilingual
aspects can even be shown by adding endorsements:
* {{#language:fr}}: {{lang|fr|Fantastique IEG !}} ~~~~
Note: for the page language, there is mw.config.get('
wgPageContentLanguage')
We are actually not looking for translation per se, we want users to be
able to create pages in different languages in the Grants namespace.
Eg: The user should be able to create
IEG's<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG>in his/her language.
There will be a template which will need translations
(The skeleton for a grant), but from then on we wont be needing the
ability
to translate. The user should be able to go ahead & add content in his
language.
What would be the best way to achieve this in meta? Looking forward to
your
comments.
Apart from the bug pointed by Nemo is quickly resolved (I have some
doubts), perhaps you can add the new submissions on a temporary page
(e.g.
"IEG name/Original proposal") and ask translators to translate from
language-to-English without the Translate extension.
If you don’t know the InputBox extension, you can be interested in it
(or
its functionalities), particularly the preload and editintro parameters
if
you want to preload a skeleton page to be filled, possibly even with
templates and/or in a specific language.
