Translation

[edit]

@Samwalton9 (WMF), this issue is not listed in other languages: The Wikipedia Library/Newsletter/ru, The Wikipedia Library/Newsletter/ko...
It is also not clear why news from the section «Bytes in brief» should not be translated Psauopf (talk) 18:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The entries in Bytes in brief are titles of articles published in English. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
but English or other language is marked Psauopf (talk) 18:50, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
It was in other issues The Wikipedia Library/Newsletter/January-February 2023/zh, The Wikipedia Library/Newsletter/July-August 2020/ja...
Some will not understand whether it is necessary to open this without the translated title of the news Psauopf (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
But the news itself is in the same language as the title, English. If someone is not able to read or translate an English title, they will not be able to read or translate an English article. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
If a person is not interested in the title, then he will not use google translate. This is a common practice zh:英国#外部链接, ar:المملكة المتحدة#وصلات خارجية, Psauopf (talk) 11:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Based on those two examples, it is also common practice not to, based on the amount of English text in those citations. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
It was different in previous issues. Psauopf (talk) 09:10, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The problem with the list of issues remained Psauopf (talk) 09:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
