Translating:Phabricator

Phabricator logo

Phabricator (homepage) is a suite of web-based development collaboration tools. Included apps help you manage tasks and sprints, review code, host git, svn, or mercurial repositories, build with continuous integration, review designs, discuss in internal chat channels, and much more. It's fast, scalable, and fully open source. It's upstream is Phorge (homepage).

User Nike is the point of support for the localization of Phabricator.

Translators may add Phabricator to their Babel box or include {{User Phabricator}} to add themselves to Category:Phabricator translators.

These translations are only applied to the Wikimedia installation of Phabricator. However, there are plans to import the Phabricator translations to Phorge (see task T15055 on the upstream Phorge)

How to test translations

Translations are deployed irregularly (every one to two months) to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org. The most recent translation update was April 8, 2025, deploying any changes made to translatewiki.net by March 31.

Phabricator itself only allows users to select languages with at least 512 translated strings, and additionally requires manual work to enable each new language.

Message documentation and PLURAL syntax

Phabricator unfortunately does not have very good message documentation for most messages. You are welcome to contribute improved message documentation. Most message documentation is script-generated output. For example, the documentation of phabricator-repository-cf080fda8fcfb7ce (“$1 changed $2 automation blueprint(s), added $3: $4; removed $5: $6.”) is:

Variable Types: NONE, PLURAL, PLURAL, NONE, PLURAL, NONE.
Used in:

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/phabricator/browse/wmf%252Fstable/src//applications/repository/xaction/PhabricatorRepositoryBlueprintsTransaction.php$33 PhabricatorRepositoryBlueprintsTransaction.php:33]

That means that $2, $3, and $5 support PLURAL, i.e a longer version of the message, using standard MediaWiki syntax, would be:

$1 changed $2 automation {{PLURAL:$2|blueprint|blueprints}}, added {{PLURAL:$3|one blueprint|$3 blueprints}}: $4; removed {{PLURAL:$5|one blueprint|$5 blueprints}}: $6.

In this example, the variables marked as NONE do not support any kind of PLURAL syntax. However, even if they are documented as "NONE", almost all messages involving a number can support this PLURAL syntax.

The last part of the automatically-generated documentation is a link to the source code where the message is defined. The automatically generated documentation is updated with each source string export, but any manually added documentation will still be preserved.

Phabricator in theory supports GENDER, but most messages, even ones involving people, do not make use of it properly.

PLURAL syntax by default is the first parameter for one, and the second parameter for any number more than one. If your language uses more complex PLURAL rules, they will need to be set up in the code itself.

Exports

Languages with translation completion less than 1% are not committed to version control. If the project consists of multiple message groups, the limit is applied to each group separately.

Translation updates are exported to version control every Monday and Thursday.
