4. Move lessons from "English" to "Multiple languages" [ALMOST THERE! GOOD WORK!] Vincent: Ok, done, for technical reasons, I cannot move translatable pages for now. https://polyglotclub.com/wiki/Language/English/Vocabulary/Top-Job-Interview-Questions https://polyglotclub.com/wiki/Language/English/Vocabulary/How-to-Write-a-Good-CV
5. Comment at Home page
6. New translation system:

• • [DONE] Translate completed English pages automatically in all the languages available in Google Translate API : Example here (the page has been translated to a few languages as a test) https://polyglotclub.com/wiki/Language/French/Vocabulary/Les-4-saisons
  • [TO DO] Encourage members to correct more the pages and translations: display in the home page : "help us correct these lessons translated in Chinese to learn French..." + list of lesson specific for the user. Example : if it's a page to learn French translated in Chinese. The user must be a native Chinese speaker and must be learning French, to encourage him to correct the lesson.
  • Each translated page will live its life independently: It does not matter if in the end they are totally different. Actually we should talk more of "Language Versions" rather than translations. Mediawiki has a special extension (for manual translating) which works the same way, each translated page is independant : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation
  • To tell which part must not be translated : it's a special HTML tag. Example <span class="notranslate">Les quatres saisons</span> to add in each English lesson.
  • Each English page must be split in max 5000 characters parts (limits of Google translate) with the following tag : <!--SPLIT-->
  • I will select myself the lessons completed enough AND needing a multilingual translation.

Grimpixel: Yes, when it comes to lessons, things are complex. It should be mentioned in every lesson if it is incomplete. Is there any easier way to edit translations? Or improvement on translation team? Vincent:Translations will be edited like a regular wiki page. Anyone can correct or complete the English page or the translated pages. Grimpixel: I see. This is huge. I need to pay more attention to completing lessons. "Language versions" is great, because the ways of teaching varies when the learners are various.

Grimpixel: I think there can be a mistake log for Google, to help people understand how machine translation makes mistake. Vincent: I guess people can see corrections in the page history. the Machine translation is made by the contributor named "Maintenance script"

Grimpixel: What if users can and want to translate into a language that Google doesn't support? Vincent: yes, I must think of that, it's not too hard to do
