Hello! Could you please insert the translate and T tags on the header of this page? I would like to translate it into Ukrainian. MarianaSenkiv (talk) 09:11, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello @MarianaSenkiv! The header is already translatable. You can translate it. 🙂 -- Pols12 (talk) 23:04, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki

Greetings!

The Language and Product Localization team has developed a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages.

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.

We invite you to watch our demo video and read more about translatable modules to understand how it works. Please give us your feedback on this talk page on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to Module:User Wikimedia project, which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach.

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

Wikidata lists on translatable pages

I have noticed that you have changed a lot of the Wikidata list pages into subpages, but I have never been shared the secret of why this is preferred. I agree that the combination of translatable pages and Wikidata lists is clumsy and that the workaround works, even if it not very easy to manage.

Let me know more, and if you think better solutions could be developed to the problem, if it was considered a priority.

All the best, Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) 🦜 17:47, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

As I explained you last year, translatable pages must be reviewed by any translation admin each time they are edited. Wikidata lists are edited very frequently (by a bot). To preserve translation admins from this exhausting work, I recommend to place the list in a subpage (/list), so only the subpage is edited by the bot. We transclude the subpage in the main page so it is still visible as previously. Is it clear? -- Pols12 (talk) 00:43, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

I have responded there, and if you still need this, I am here to help. – DreamRimmer ■ 10:55, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
