This page lists the end user requirements for the project.

Requirements for Step 1[edit]
The step 1 of the project is about preparing the page for translation. The requirements for this step include -
- Should be agnostic to namespace and source language
- The
{{Languages}}template, if at all present in the page should be removed - The
<languages />tag should be added at the top of the page {{#translation:}}should be added for all categories.<translate>...</translate>tags should be added wherever appropriate- For images, only the caption should be wrapped inside the translate tags
- All the links should have "Special:MyLanguage/" prefix
- All the links should be present in "two-party" form, separated by a pipe (|)
- Internal links to sections of the same page should link to the language-independent anchor
- Translatable templates should be wrapped in {{TNT}}
- A confirmation screen should be offered to the user for approving the changes made by the tool
- Optionals
- Doesn't need to be able to deal with: .js, .css, ...
- Splitting lists is not a must have feature.
- Links should be wrapped inside tvar markup
Requirements for Step 2[edit]
The step 2 of the project is about importing old translations into the Translate extension. The requirements for this step include -
- For each language in which the translations are present, import the translations and show them in the confirmation screen
- The source text and the translated text should be shown besides each other
- Pages of the type
Translations:Page/<translation unit identifier>/<language code>should be created upon confirmation by the user - The text blocks on the right hand side should be allowed to split and dragged around when the user disapproves a translation
- A language navigation bar should be present at the top of the page to allow switching between languages
