Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Multimedia and Commons/SVG-Translate
Problem : You have a svg-file in a different language and want to use it, but you don't know how to edit SVG-Files (You can't handle SourceCode, Inkscape has to be installed,...).
Who would benefit : User who adds Images to articles, but are not familiar with SVG-editing
+1 : this tool is a corner stone of commons as it allows SVG images' translations by non-graphists. Yet, this tool isn't maintained, the OATH got broken years ago. Need a refresh. --Yug (talk ) 23:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
There is also mw:Extension:TranslateSvg that is also currently unmaintained. –Nikerabbit (talk ) 08:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
@Nikerabbit : mw:Extension:TranslateSvg/2.0 is the "current" version, and it has the same Author (@Jarry1250 : ) as https://tools.wmflabs.org/jarry-common/ . — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 21:46, 28 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
I would maintain the tool (I think I'm good enough with coding.), but I'm not familiar how to use Toolforge, and I might need help sometimes. — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 21:46, 28 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
I have serious doubts. Actually, text rendering in SVG files is poor. I generally transform text in a path in a different layer, in order to have a correct visualisation (and leave the text layer hidden). --Ruthven (talk ) 19:46, 29 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
@Ruthven : I completely understand your opinion. Simple Files like File:Double-slit_de.svg or File:Poutre_definitions_de.svg can easy be translated without worrying that the text might get too long. If you edit maps text alignment is very important. I am working in the German graphics lab and for me it is easier to have a fully translated SVG (by a newbie/wikipedian with mw:Extension:TranslateSvg/2.0 SVG-Translate ) and just edit the alignment, than to find the translation of each word and then align it. Real Text in SVGs can be problematic (f.e. File:Route_der_Flugzeugentführung_-_Landshut_-_KEBVersion.svg ).
Anyway, it happens very often that English Pictures are used on German, Chinese, ... Wikipedias (f.e File:Moody_EN.svg de:Molekulare_Monte-Carlo-Methode#Quantum-Monte-Carlo-Methode ), therefore a translation would in general be an improvement. (I personally would prefer that the Tool adds a language switch. (f.e. File:Sprinkler_glass_bulbs.svg )) — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 21:39, 30 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
I really like the lang
switch! That's the most semantic way to do this, and also improves maintenance because different language versions are still the same file. -- Christallkeks (talk ) 12:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]
