For whatever reason, when on mobile, the page simply refreshes when clicking translate (after selecting the page to translate) rather than taking you to the edit screen.
Talk:Content translation
Hello @Lee Vilenski,
Sorry about your experience with the translate button. It will help a lot if you will indicate the following things:
- Which article were you translating and to which language
- Which browser did you use (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.)
- If you're getting any errors, please provide log from browser console if possible. To open browser console: press Ctrl+Shift+j (or cmd+alt+J () on a Mac).
Indicating the above will help the Engineers solve the problem. Thank you!
No problem, it's specifically the mobile view, I use chrome, but I've tried it on Edge. It doesn't matter the language or the article in question.

I tried to translate the entry ‘北京师范大学珠海校区’(https://w.wiki/AMi3) into English, but after the translation was completed it was restricted and could not be posted. I can only use the finished translation as a draft. Here is the link：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Xuechang1/Beijing_Normal_University_at_Zhuhai. I hope I can upload my translation.
Hello @Xuechang1
You can only publish a translation on the English Wikipedia if you are an extended confirmed editor. You can learn more about this restriction on this page.
Thank you!

I used Google translate and the translation is perfect with very minor edits such as punctation, yet Wiki won' t accept it because it contains 98% of the original text... It is a fucking translation! What did you expect, you fucking morons? A new text? A fucking novel? Get a fucking grip!
La lengua es muy parecida por lo que si una vez revisada la traducción facilitada por el traductor automático.. modificar el fondo del articulo podría impactar en su contenido.
Para otras lenguas si que es preciso revisar y modificar en un % mínimo las traducciones. No en el caso del castellano/catalán.
Help Needed!
