NavBoxes and translation

[mgiraud]

I can see that there is some Work in progress regarding the templates concerning NavBoxes, e.g. Template:NavBox and Template:MachineNav, thanks to TheWombatGuru.

Will that job includes a solution for translation as it has been done in InfoBoxes?

The easiest solution for me is to create templates for fr, i.e. a Template:MachineNav/fr but it is probably not the best way to do the job. A good usage of template:Translation is probably better.

Yes, these navbox templates will autotranslate as soon as I find the time to add that functionality.

Our vision is to not have subtemplates for different languages but let most templates autotranslate using the Template:Translation/{{2 letter language code}} templates.

Thanks.

I'll create MachineNav/fr as a temporary solution and remove it when you find the time to do the definitive solution for all navboxes.

Template:MachineNav now autotranslates, will do the others soon

[TheWombatGuru]

All of the navbox templates now autotranslate

[mgiraud]

You are just too fast!

Thanks.

haha, it wasn't that much work, I only had to replace the normal link [[ ]] brackets with Template brackets and throw in the TransLink template

[mgiraud]

I had a look at the new templates. My only regret is that there are no doc subpage.

I spend some time to understand what was the use of the "anchor" parameters

But well done! I already use your work.

Yes, documentation is important, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Expect it soon, but not asap
