00:00:00,251 --> 00:00:04,238
Welcome to the Content Translation Tool
Tutorial for Beginners!

2
00:00:04,796 --> 00:00:08,510
The Content Translation tool allows you
to create a Wikipedia page

3
00:00:08,531 --> 00:00:11,551
based on an existing version
from a different language.

4
00:00:11,770 --> 00:00:13,746
It automates the boring steps:

5
00:00:13,808 --> 00:00:16,250
copying text across browser tabs,

6
00:00:16,296 --> 00:00:20,155
looking for corresponding links
and categories, etc.

7
00:00:20,305 --> 00:00:23,509
The tool is focused on transferring
and adapting content

8
00:00:23,528 --> 00:00:27,566
from an existing article
to a new one in a different language.

9
00:00:27,734 --> 00:00:31,317
It allows editors to reuse
as much or as little content

10
00:00:31,373 --> 00:00:34,314
for their initial version
to keep editing it.

11
00:00:36,783 --> 00:00:41,501
How to translate a Wikipedia article
using the Content Translation tool?

12
00:00:41,784 --> 00:00:43,516
Sign up for a Wikipedia account.

13
00:00:43,718 --> 00:00:47,207
Content translation is available
in Wikipedia in all languages

14
00:00:47,241 --> 00:00:48,767
for logged-in users.

15
00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:52,617
You can access the tool
from Special:ContentTranslation page

16
00:00:52,649 --> 00:00:54,920
from Wikipedia in any language.

17
00:00:57,232 --> 00:00:59,736
Before you start translating articles,

18
00:00:59,788 --> 00:01:04,475
please familiarise yourself
with the basics of how to edit Wikipedia.

19
00:01:06,276 --> 00:01:10,749
Please note the five pillars,
or principles, which guide how we work.

20
00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:16,315
The links to the guides are available
in the video description.

21
00:01:18,887 --> 00:01:20,583
So, here is an example:

22
00:01:20,738 --> 00:01:23,948
I’ve found an article in English
with a missing page in Russian.

23
00:01:24,035 --> 00:01:25,247
After logging in,

24
00:01:25,304 --> 00:01:28,817
you will see additional entry points
to easily start a translation.

25
00:01:29,012 --> 00:01:32,489
Start with the title,
add a paragraph, links, categories.

26
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,500
When an article has images
from Wikimedia Commons

27
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:38,040
that have text
that needs to be translated,

28
00:01:38,077 --> 00:01:42,738
the request for translation can be made
at Commons:Requests for translations.

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,770
You don’t have to translate in one go,
add paragraphs each time you translate.

30
00:01:48,565 --> 00:01:52,270
Pay attention to the warnings/errors
that show up on the right

31
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,482
and follow the translation guidelines.

32
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:57,847
You will find the link
to the guidelines in the description.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,178
And now the exercise:
translate any article using the tool.

34
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:08,000
Thank you so much for joining!
