documentation for <b>message group workflow states</b>. Let's imagine that some organization is using MediaWiki with the Translate extension. They use the wiki to write press releases among other things. What do they do? First they write a press release in a wiki, then make it translatable and invite translators to work on it. When translations are ready, they can publish them elsewhere on their website. But how do they know when a translation is ready, or more importantly proofread and corrected (see <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/Quality_assurance" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Translate/Quality assurance">Quality assurance</a>)? What if someone finds and fixes a mistake and the published version needs to be updated? </p><p>This is the use case the <i>message group workflow</i> feature is intended for. It lets you attach a tag to a message group indicating what state it is in, like "translating", "proofreading", "ready" or "published". This allows the different roles that work on a press release to explicitly expose the current state without the need of other communication methods. The translators can indicate when they consider their translations ready, and other translators can see what translations are already published. The translation administrator can periodically check which translations are ready and publish them, as well as update the pages that were already published. This is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/workflow" class="extiw" title="w:workflow">workflow</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Setting_up" data-mw-thread-id="h-Setting_up"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Setting_up"></span>Setting up<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Setting_up"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Help:Extension:Translate/Message_group_states&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Setting up"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By default, this feature is disabled.

For example, when all the messages are translated, the state changes itself to <i>proofreading</i>, and when all messages have been proofread, the state changes to <i>ready</i>. </p><p>The conditions for these changes are called <i>transitions</i>. Transitions can have zero or more conditions on the following variables: UNTRANSLATED, OUTDATED, TRANSLATED, PROOFREAD. Each variable represents the number of messages in that state. UNTRANSLATED variable includes the OUTDATED messages. Each variable can be compared to three values: ZERO, NONZERO and MAX. For example transition to <i>ready</i> state would have condition PROOFREAD is MAX. See code example below. </p><p><b>The state of a language of a message group</b> will be updated whenever a translation is changed or reviewed in that language. The state transitions are matched in the declaration order. All conditions must be fulfilled for the transition to match. If no transition matches, the message group will keep its existing state. </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-php mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$wgTranslateWorkflowStates</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="c1">// States</span> <span class="c1">// 'ready' => ( ... ),</span> <span class="s1">'state conditions'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'ready'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'PROOFREAD'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'MAX'</span> <span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">),</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'proofreading'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'TRANSLATED'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'MAX'</span> <span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">),</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'unset'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'UNTRANSLATED'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'MAX'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'OUTDATED'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'ZERO'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'TRANSLATED'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'ZERO'</span> <span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">),</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'inprogress'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span> <span class="s1">'UNTRANSLATED'</span> <span class="o">=></span> <span class="s1">'NONZERO'</span> <span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">),</span> <span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">);</span> </pre></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 485px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 480px; height: 330px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Translate_manual_-_MessageGroupStats_with_status.png" class="mw-file-description" title="Special:MessageGroupStats can be used to see the status of the translation of a single message group in all languages."><img alt="Special:MessageGroupStats can be used to see the status of the translation of a single message group in all languages." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Translate_manual_-_MessageGroupStats_with_status.png/450px-Translate_manual_-_MessageGroupStats_with_status.png" decoding="async" width="450" height="254" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Translate_manual_-_MessageGroupStats_with_status.png 1.5x" data-file-width="650" data-file-height="367"/></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext"><a href="/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats" title="Special:MessageGroupStats">Special:MessageGroupStats</a> can be used to see the status of the translation of a single message group in all languages.</div> </li> </ul>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Extension:Translate/Message_group_states&oldid=6596646">https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Extension:Translate/Message_group_states&oldid=6596646</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Category</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Extension:Translate" title="Category:Extension:Translate">Extension:Translate</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 23 June 2024, at 07:44.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>; additional terms may apply.
