17:23 <TheresNoTime> Hi, admin from the English Wikipedia here - really good to hear that the content translation tool is working well for you on Tamil Wikipedia! :) We had some issues with low-quality machine translations that new users were adding to the English Wikipedia, so we ended up disabling it for anyone not "extendedconfirmed" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CXT). Do you have any suggestions on how we could guide new editors on

17:24 <TheresNoTime> creating *quality* translations?

18:00 <arrbee> TheresNoTime:  I will pass the question to Ravi.

18:07 <TheresNoTime> Thanks :)

22:43 <TheresNoTime> I see, so it's been working well where there has been offline involvement - perhaps that would be something we could focus on. Thank you for your replies :)

23:42 <arrbee> TheresNoTime: No worries at all

23:50 <arrbee> TheresNoTime: this is the page from bnwiki: https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE:%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7_%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE_%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AD

26:32 <brij> Hi there, I am Brij Mohan from IIIT Hyderabad working Pronunciation Intelligibility Remediation project with James Salsman

27:13 <arrbee> Hi brij

27:15 <brij> Is it possible for me to join the hangout and describe the project in 2 min?

27:45 <TheresNoTime> Would you all consider writing up some of these tips? We, on the English Wikipedia, haven't used Content Translation at all, so it would be very useful for us and other projects to have these written up, perhaps on meta?

28:02 <arrbee> brij: sure you can join in. We will check on the time depending on how the current conversation goes.

28:31 <brij> Ok thanks. Can you please send me the Hangout link?

29:15 <arrbee> TheresNoTime: I will pass that on to Ravi. Thanks for the suggestion.

29:28 <kart_> TheresNoTime: nice suggestion!
