I think I have seen a post about it but can not find it. I don't know the name of this part.

edit: change title by "sidebar"

Sidebar

Only the site administrator can modify this section :?
So the problem is not just you.

edit:

https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Localisation_Sidebar
this page does not solve the problem

Sidebar, need to remember.

Thank you Kaktus for sharing the info.

If an admin is around, he can pm me and I'll share new text.

At one time Renatorivo was helping me with this.
Since he is not present nothing can be done about it, Yorik has no time. :roll:

Sorry all, missed this topic...

Basically indeed the Localisation_Sidebar page seems outdated. As far as I can see:

- the sidebar at [wiki]MediaWiki:Sidebar[/wiki] seems correctly formatted. All items are inside an {{int:}} template.
- For each sidebar item, we have a https://wiki.freecadweb.org/MediaWiki:<sidebar-item> so for example, to translate the item "Workbenches", in Localisation_Sidebar we see that the item is sidebar-workbenches. So the corresponding page is https://wiki.freecadweb.org/index.php?t ... orkbenches . So far so good.
- By https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... =10#p80441 the page https://wiki.freecadweb.org/MediaWiki:Sidebar-messages needs to be updated with all the items in the sidebar. Indeed sidebar-workbenches is missing there. As a test, I just added sidebar-workbenches at the bottom now.
- Now is the problem, we should now go to http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... ki-sidebar and normally we should be able to translate our new item, but I don't see anything?

I came to the same page that you are pointing at the end your answer but I see all translations awaiting for update or to be made...not the sidebar. it's like a dead end or mis-routing (can I say that?).

Yes... But some former items have been successfully translated already. This is weird. Most probably something has changed in recent mediawiki versions and the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Ext ... r_tutorial tutorial doesn't work anymore...

We need to find updated info, but I'm googling now and find nothing :/

Aah interesting...
That means, for example, https://wiki.freecadweb.org/index.php?t ... benches/fr must be created manually... Let's try!

does it mean admins must manually create a page for each language and they need to receive a translation from a user for that page?
