Enable MinT for some languages with potential issues with current translation services
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As machine translation becomes available in more languages with MinT and NLLB-200 models, we want to expand support to a new set of languages. These languages have already machine translation support, but the feedback and/or data suggest that they could benefit from an additional option.

This ticket proposes to enable MinT using NLLB-200 as an option for the following languages:

  1. Afrikaans (af/afr_Latn) ✅
  2. Armenian (hy/hye_Armn) ✅
  3. Bengali (bn/ben_Beng) ✅
  4. Estonian (et/est_Latn) ✅
  5. Haitian Creole (ht/hat_Latn) ✅
  6. Hindi (hi/hin_Deva) ✅
  7. Irish (ga/gle_Latn) ✅
  8. Javanese (jv/jav_Latn) ✅
  9. Lithuanian (lt/lit_Latn) ✅
  10. Norwegian (no/nob_Latn) We want to pay special attention to verify there is no issue with alternative codes for Norwegian such as "nb", or with different variants like Norwegian Nynorsk (nn). Issue with codes captured in T339091
  11. Swahili (sw/swh_Latn) ✅
  12. Thai (th/tha_Thai) ✅
  13. Uyghur (ug/uig_Arab) ✅

@UOzurumba We can notify the community about this change.

For Norwegian (no) the MT service list is not showing MinT (also Googl was expected). Yandex appears as an option and it is using "nb" as the language code while the configuration for MinT and for Google Translate use the "no" code.

@UOzurumba Should this task mark as done now?

Yes, @KartikMistry. I have marked it. Thanks for the reminder!

Pginer-WMF updated the task description. (Show Details)

MinT is enabled for the selected languages. Only the issue with Norwegian persists where depending on the code used different services may be available (T339091).
