Bug ID: 56187
Summary: Can't send translation notifications for translatable
banners
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralNotice
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: tba...@wikimedia.org
CC: fr-t...@wikimedia.org, s...@ludd.net
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently, one cannot use translation notifications for translatable CN
banners: They do not show up in the dropdown list of available translation
tasks to notify translators about in
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NotifyTranslators . (Neither are they
contained in the list of available translation tasks that greets willing
translators at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PageTranslation .)

If this should rather be categorized as a bug for the Translate or
TranslationNotification extensions, please let me know. Bur for now I'm filing
it as a bug for CentralNotice, because I think that it may have to do with the
way CN stores the translation units belonging to a particular banner. E.g.
these two pages contain the German translation for the banner
"FDCpropreview20133_v1":
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CNBanner:FDCpropreview20133_v1-text1/de
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CNBanner:FDCpropreview20133_v1-text2/de
and they are collected in the translation group
"Centralnotice-tgroup-FDCpropreview20133_v1". Perhaps it would be possible to
organize them into a translatable *page* instead? E.g.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CNBanner:FDCpropreview20133_v1
with the translation units called "text1" and "text2", so that the above two
URLs would become:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CNBanner:FDCpropreview20133_v1/text1/de
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CNBanner:FDCpropreview20133_v1/text2/de
(This might have other benefits too, e.g. that one could link to a wiki page
showing the entire translated text for a banner just in that language.)
That's just me thinking aloud though. Any other solution that enables the use
of TranslationNotifications for translatable banners would work too. For my
current use case, I'm now resorting to setting up a separate translatable page
and manually copying the translation text back and forth, but that doesn't
scale.
