Message-ID: <caga7jc1tdpcfxwcpjf3ma6bhaq78eh2gffglbpo12hpyvla...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" You did not specify which source page are you trying to translate, and on which wiki.... Then we can look at the target of your translation attempt. Your provided this link: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Inhalts% C3%BCbersetzung&page=Biniai+Nou+hypogea&from=en&to=de& targettitle=Biniai+Nou+hypogea But the German Wikipedia does not have any page named "Biniai Nou hypogea". You are probably trying to find this page on the wrong wiki ! Translations are made wiki by wiki, but are enabled essentially on multilingual wikis (such as Commons, or Meta), not on Wikipedia (translations of pages between separate editions of Wikipedia cannot use the same tools) 2017-04-17 9:26 GMT+02:00 Bjoern Hassler <[email protected]>: > Hi Philippe, > > many thanks. > > Do you mean e.g. on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Inhalts%C3% > BCbersetzung ?
