I think improving VE to understand translate, and expanding the training/documentation for translate are the best next steps. This is also a problem on Meta-Wiki. Removing the translate setup from the pages seems problematic as we're trying to make info available in languages beyond just Englis

Lots of pages on mediawiki.org are pretty much uneditable because they're strewn with spanning multiple paragraphs that make VisualEditor completely unusable and the source editor very difficult to use. I'm trying to update documentation, and I'm seriously thinking of regexing out all the stuff

On a somewhat serious note, I'm a big fan of enabling pig Latin as a language variant in enwiki. It would allow out SFO developers to familiarize themselves with how language converter works, in a script they can (mostly) read and understand. It also is *almost but not quite* reversible (consider
