Translation editor as an extension

Problem: One popular way to contribute to the Wiktionaries content is adding translation. Since editing Wiktionary code is not really user-friendly, javascript gadgets have been developed locally to simplify the addition of translation without the need to modify the wikicode. Actually, Recent Changes are showing mostly additions of translations by IP thanks to those gadgets. French Wiktionary uses Gadget-translation editor.js based on a Swedish Wiktionary gadget, Gadget-translation editor.js itself based on an English Wiktionary gadget, editor.js. On French Wiktionary, a recent evaluation made by Automatik and published on September Actualités showed that between July 2014 and September 2018, 234,989 translations were added thanks to this gadget. This gadget is a very important feature for Wiktionaries and could be improved and integrated with a modern design. This gadget should also work on mobile.
Who would benefit: Every person adding translations to Wiktionaries.
Proposed solution: A module could be developed to support this feature, improve the design to make it closer to the standard editor and include it in all Wiktionaries.
More comments: This feature also checks if the page with a same title exists in the version of the language added (for example, if you add a Spanish translation in English Wiktionary, the gadget checks in Spanish Wiktionary). Then a proper parameter is added to make a blue or a red link. This part may use Cognate module to check rather than a request.

Discussion

Is it possible to improve the tool to allow adding translation during the edition of the wikicode? When I create articles, I must save the article to be able to add translation with the tool. Jpgibert (talk) 19:07, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great suggestion! Merci ! Of course, it could be even better if this tool can work also during a classic edition, but I am not sure it could be done, as the two works very differently, but let's keep this idea as a goal Noé (talk) 06:51, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
