I'm still wrong. It should be 0.1 Million[2]

Hi Manoj,

If you mean 'Machine Translation' - currently no support of Machine
Translation available for Indic languages (except Hindi <-> Urdu,
which is yet to deploy!).

However, you can use the tool to 'translate' from any languages (all
available Wikipedia) with lots of features like,
- Automated links, images, references adaption
- Automated categories adaption (If category exists in target wiki.
Please make sure to link categories in Wikidata for your language!)
- Ability to save translation and work on it later.
- Upcoming: Better link adaption support, automatic wikidata link
adaption, better reference support etc...

Many languages we deployed has no Machine Translation support, and
they have created articles already :)

We're open to any feedback, bugs, feature request and criticism.
Please let us know!

[Wikimediaindia-l] Content Translation beta-feature coming soon for more Indic languages

2015-05-29 Thread Kartik Mistry
[Sending this on behalf of Runa here, it is stuck in moderation/somewhere]

Hello,

A few months ago the Content Translation extension[1], was made available
as a beta-feature on the Punjabi, Kannada and Gujarati Wikipedias for
logged-in users. Recently, it was also enabled on the Bhojpuri and Hindi
Wikipedias. We are now ready to have Content Translation on more Indic
language Wikipedias and in the next month we expect to make it available on
Assamese (as), Odia (or), Malayalam (ml), Bengali (bn), Nepali (ne),
Sanskrit (sa), Marathi (mr), Newar/Nepal Bhasa (new), Telugu (te), Pali
(pi), Bishnupriya Manipuri (bpy), Urdu (ur), Tamil (ta) Maithili (mai) and
Sinhalese (si) Wikipedias. This will be done in multiple stages beginning
4th June 2015. Please note, this tool will only be available for logged-in
users who will choose to enable it from their preferences.

As you may recall, Content Translation is an extension that has been
developed by the WMF Language Engineering team that allows creation of new
articles from an existing article in another language. Presently, Content
Translation is being used in more than 100 Wikipedias[2] as an opt-in
beta-feature for logged-in users. More than 4000 new articles have already
been created using this tool. Content Translation also provides machine
translation through Apertium, where available. From the above list only
Hindi and Urdu are currently supported in a limited way on Apertium.

You can read more about Content Translation, its usage and user stories at:

http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/08/the-new-content-translation-tool/
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/06/content-translation-improved-my-edits/

The tentative availability schedule and progress for all the languages can
be tracked on phabricator -https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100621 . We
will be making further announcements (through Village Pumps and mailing
lists) as we approach the dates mentioned in the ticket. Please feel free
to let us know your comments, suggestions and other feedback through this
phabricator ticket (or its sub-tasks for individual languages) or on the
talk page[2] of the project.

Thanks
Runa

As requested, English version is here, but I don't feel it is good for
