Thanks for the very detailed request. A few quick comments and questions: > Is it possible to make translatewiki.net translate the MediaWiki syntax to the Python syntax on export? Both parsing the files and doing structural transformations for message contents (and keys) is done by our file format support classes, and they are accompanied by appropriate insertables and validators. - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Validators - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Insertables - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/File_format_support (very, very outdated) The question here is rather who is going to write that code (in PHP) and maintain it, and how complex it is, and is the format unique to this project or is it reusable for others as well. A specification of some sort for the syntax would be a good starting point. ---- > If not, is it acceptable to require translators to write the Python syntax directly when translating? It looks rather complicated, and slightly different from all the other formats. This increases the changes that translators will make mistakes, though validators may help. ---- I see translations are currently here: https://github.com/lucaswerkmeister/tool-lexeme-forms/blob/main/translations.py. Would it be possible to have them in one per language? Also something like JSON would be easier to parse. ---- > I think it would make sense to limit translations into new languages on translatewiki.net We can set the list of allowed languages in the message group configuration. The question would be how to keep it up to date. Would you be willing to submit patches to add languages?
