Wiki / Translate / Translate this page to a new language
When creating a tranlsation of a wiki page by way of the "Translate this page to a new language" button, the following is automaticlaly inserted above the untranslated text trabsferred fromn the original page to the new page:
Translation of this page is incomplete.I assume this is designed for the benfit of people reading the page (rather than those editing it) and as such I find it very useful for the following two reasons:
If you are using a site in one language, say English, and a page appears in another, say French, its very useful for the reader to understand that:
- nothing is wrong e.g. they haven't mistakenly navigated to the wrong page or changed their language settings, and
- the site editors are aware that the content requires translating.
The problem is that it displays in the wrong language (e.g.in our example above in English when the reader may only understand French). The reader needs to see "Translation of this page is incomplete." in their own language regardless of the language of the untranslated text beneath it, otherwise the benefits above are lost.(Of course, the same should all apply to Articles but they don't seem to have the "Translate this page to a new language" feature yet - only the ability to link to another already created Article at present).
- Solution
I guess the fix is:
- amend so that translation TR tags are included i.e.:
^{TR()}Translation of this page is incomplete.{TR}^
- include translations of this in language files.
- Workaround
- Manually amend each page as per solution below, and use customised string translation for each site.

- Race condition: Sessions stored in the database and Cypht
- Tracker, validation; Editing an existing item with a validation option set as distinct failed (considered a new item)
- Helper icons, buttons and short labels should be kept on the same line as the setting widget being edited (don't do wrapping), to avoid looking broken and having uneven row heights
- site_title_location should default to "After current page's descriptor"
- Kanban plugin; It should be possible to filter items displayed
