ArchTranslator

Useful tools for ArchWiki translators, now written in TypeScript.

Usage

• Install the UserScript
• Change the active language (the default is Polish):

Build

You can build the script yourself:

Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/bonk-dev/arch-translator.git

Remember to install the dev dependencies: npm install

Single build: npm run build

Build on change: npm run watch

The three (two usable) files will be in the build/ directory:

• arch-translator.user.js - ready to use UserScript
• arch-translator.srcmap.user.js - ready to use UserScript but with inlined sourcemap
• arch-translator.js - raw output from esbuild (no UserScript header)

Features

• Copies and pastes the original source;
• Inserts the localized {{TranslationStatus}} template;
• Inserts the English interlanguage link;
• Sorts the header elements according to the ArchWiki style;
• Scans the page content for already translated articles.

Translated articles scanner

The script scans the article for links to other articles and checks if these articles have been already translated to the language of choice.

In this example we can see that the page content contains many links to English pages. Pages highlighted in green have a translation page.
