• Which browser did you use (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.)

Hiya! I'm noticing that when I am starting a new translation, I am shown a list of articles I've recently edited in the source language (in my cases, English Wikipedia). In this list, all links are shown as "Mangler på norsk (bokmål)" ("Missing in Norwegian Bokmål"), even though the articles do exist on Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia. The same happens for "Nearby topics". Is this an issue for others?

For context, I'm translating from English to Norwegian Bokmål, using Google Chrome.

Bună cum pot traduce pagina Victoriabank? vreau să public ca pagină nouă și mi se zice că nu am permisiune. Ajutați-mă să traduc în limba engleză și franceză.

(sorry i was not logged it. The page is Ontological turn, from english to french.)

Note: Post was suppressed, original post content was "Everything is in the title : the references section can't be modified, but when it's very long the robot will never allow publishing while I have modified every paragraph."

The speed of translation is very slow and some time irrelevant translation is made. சத்திரத்தான் from Tamil Wikipedia

I'm currently translating an article from MedWiki, but I've been unable to publish it. I keep getting a message warning me about inappropriate content. The warning reads, 'Automatic editing filters have identified problematic content in your translation. Details: Possible inappropriate content related to the human body'. I'd love to get this issue figured out, please advise.

Could you share on which wiki you were getting this problem? The issue is a local edit filter, not the content translation tool per se.

Hey, I was translating an article from MDWiki to Portuguese, so I guess I've hit the edit filters on Portuguese Wikipedia. I will open a new issue onpt:Ajuda:Tire suas dúvidas.

Leaving a translation unpublished and coming back to it after a while sometimes causes some sections to have the "100% of the text is unchanged" warning.

It might have to do with the original article being edited.

I am using Firefox, and I was translating "X11 color names" to Arabic.

For the past couple of days I have noticed that the translated sections (en -> bs) are not saved for when I open them later to progress further in the article. It happened a few times before I resorted to copying the newly translated text and saving it on an external desktop file. This, in the end, failed to function as well because the paste command seems to be skewed as well.

Every time I translate wikipedia send me to a looping box. Ffs.

can any one publish/translate ਸਰਬੰਸ to english

ਸਰਬੰਸ - ਵਿਕੀਪੀਡੀਆ, ਇਕ ਅਜ਼ਾਦ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਗਿਆਨਕੋਸ਼ (wikipedia.org)

The translation module is laggy with long articles and I prefer working on my own user page. If I machine translate an entire article I cannot move it to my page because there's too much unchanged text. Could this be made possible?
