It is weird that, for example, chapters' pages on Meta should be written in
English and then translated into native language -- according to current
logic.
I agree with Charles, this change would be a step forward.
Sure, translators-l will also agree.

Dear all,
I would like to draw your attention on the Translation Extension for
Mediawiki, since 2 years now, community members ask to improve this
extension by adding the possibility to select the original language.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35489
We are in a movement where the knowledge exchange is a primary concern, we
have a really good tools to facilitate the translation of the
documentation, but today we are still obliged to first translate manually
in English before being able to use the Translate extension.
I'm not a Tech guy, I try to read the bug's page linked before, and the
only message I can get from is you, non English speakers, are not our
priority .
The ability to translate in multiple language the documentation created by
non English speakers is a major challenge, we need to make it happen more
often.
Everyday I heard French speaker saying that they do not belong to the
Wikimedia Community because it's all in English/all for English, I do not
pretend that improving the Translate extension will solve this issue, but
it could be a little step forward.
thank for your attention
Charles
