Hi, How do you translate, I did translated one wiki article. I did the button Translate into >> French. And after I suggested other word for the page with the built-in translater tool.
My problem is that I see 0 submission in wiki translation on my profile, and nothing seem tagged that I translated something.
I looked back the article today, and I still see my correction submission, but I wonder how the process work.
Did I miss something ?

Hi, thanks for the link!, I used to find a bit how yesterday night and I tried it, but not the official documentation.
Only drawback I found, is that if you use the widget you don't get point for that, so I created new page and link it to the original article, but again it's not the best option, if the source change I would not be notified right away to change my traslation. Thus with the widget even if the article change, only one part of the article will be machine translated.
If some wiki moderator read that post, It should be good to make in the edit menu something to tell it's a language X for the article Y, and the wiki could create automaticly the Other language link. If the source article change, then it update to tell it's out dated

Hi - I added the following to the Microsoft Translator Widget and Wiki article:
There are 3 main ways to contribute translations:
- You can create or edit a page in a language other than English in the TechNet Wiki. This is tracked in the same way as any Wiki activity and not called out specifically as translation - but you’d get points and this would appear in your Activity feed.
- You can use the “improve translation” link in the Translation widget. This is currently NOT linked to the TechNet recognition system and unfortunately does not give you credit. My suggestion would be to add a comment to the article to let the community know that you did the work, and it will also be tracked as edit in your profile. I’ll see if we can come up with something better.
- Finally, the “Translation Wiki” activity in the TechNet profile refers only to edits made in specific areas of the localized TechNet and MSDN Library. More info: msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd362340.aspx
. An example:

Thanks for the reply !
I seen too that edit with the widget add "Comments" in my profile, so it kinda keep a trace somewhere, so it's not that bad. (translated two page with the widget and I got near 115 comments tagged) (as seen on the below picture). I really prefer to use the widget, a lot easier to translate with it (good work on it btw :)), and like I told, if the source article change later on, only the new contents will be seen not translated with the widget. (and if a visitor comeup visit the wiki with a french IE in example, it's easy to display him right now the translated page that way because it's all linked together (like when I visit a KB page, it's all machine translated in french automaticly)
