Thank you for your copyediting on Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Links.

Are you working on that task for the Google Code-In challenge?

I've also noticed your changes concerning how to create links to files. What you have written is not correct: link to a file doesn't requires colons before File: anymore. Please consider to test if the tool works the way it is described before upgrading the documentation. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:38, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Oh, okay, thank you! My bad, I'm sorry :)

And yes, I am working on the Google Code-in task. I've added the <translate> tags, and Special:MyLanguage/ prefixes to all the links. Is that all that has to be done?

Sorry about the incorrect info again :) I didn't realise it had been updated, and when I tested the link as is on the page, it showed the image instead of the link to the image, which was why I updated it. Clockery (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

No problem for all of that.

Add translate tags and Special:MyLanguage links is not enough. If that was the only thing to do, the task wouldn't be a 5 days long one! ;)

How have you tested it? Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:59, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I figured xD but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask, so :)

I included the text [[File:Wiki.png]] on the page and previewed it. It showed up as an image, not a file link. (I wasn't using Visual Editor, though) Clockery (talk) 15:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

So that's not a surprise if it is not working. :)

As described on the GCI task, you are working on marking a page for translation, not improving a page content (I however appreciate your proofreading). ;) Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 16:42, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, while figuring out what exactly to do in the page, I ended up proofreading as well along the way. Got carried away somewhat xD

Also, quick question. How should the <tvar> tags be used? I haven't really found them documented anywhere. Clockery (talk) 16:49, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Check on Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 16:55, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Added more translate tags to group the text by heading, and to image descriptions, and also added tvar tags to all links.

Could you please take a look at the page now? Clockery (talk) 17:29, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Good progresses on your work!

You should add tvar for anything that is formatting, like templates or <code> tagged elements.

Also, when you have a closing translate tag immediately followed by another translate tag, you can remove them. For instance

the end of a sentence.</translate> <translate> The beginnings of another

can just be

the end of a sentence.
The beginnings of another

with one blank like between (that's important to separate the two translation blocks that will be created). It also works if the element before/after is a title.

You can also cleanup the wikitext a bit, to have closing brackets just after images (I don't know why they have been moved). Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 17:38, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I've added tvar to the templates and code tags, and cleaned it up a bit. Also removed the redundant <translate> tags. Could you take a look at it, please? Clockery (talk) 17:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

That's almost perfect! :)

One item will break when I'll mark the page for translation, and there is one thing that shouldn't be translatable which is. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I *think* I've fixed those issues, could you check? Clockery (talk) 18:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

You have. I've marked the page for translation.

You can do a translation if you want (to test) and submit the task for review. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I've tried one translation (into ml) to test the translation space. Also submitted the task for review. Thank you so much! :D Clockery (talk) 18:52, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

You can translate the whole page if you want. that would help some users. :) Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 10:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Sure, will do :) I'm just not confident about using the right technical language in my language, but I'll figure it out. Clockery (talk) 15:17, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
