Translations

How does one generate more languages for this file? ~★ nmaia ^{[[mia diskuto]]} 18:04, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

@NMaia: You can follow Help:Translation tutorial#Using the same file or Commons:Translation possible/Learn more#Multiple translations within one SVG file. If you run into trouble, just post your text here and I'll edit the file. --Ricordisamoa 23:34, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

@NMaia: Ricordisamoa said it all. If you need help, just tell us. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 09:52, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! That did it. ~★ nmaia ^{[[mia diskuto]]} 13:06, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Tweaked version

Hi everyone. I would like to propose a set of tweaks to the current image, and would welcome your feedback. Here's what I'm proposing, against the current version:

Before:

After:

The differences are:

1. Changed the node to which the word "open" was attached, to distribute the words more uniformly across the rectangle. In the current version, "open", "multilingual" and "free" are positioned almost in vertical alignment across the left border of the image.
2. Changed how the right-aligned text elements are positioned, by using text-anchor="end" where appropriate, so that translated words don't need to be manually placed depending on the length of the word in the given language (i.e., now all translations of the same word can be positioned using the same coordinates). This should make adding new translations much easier.
3. Related to the above: Placed all translations of the same word (regardless of being left- or right-aligned) in the same location, in a way that avoids intersecting the lines (except when the words are too long to fit anywhere, e.g. "collaborative" in Russian, or "structured" in Armenian).
4. Swapped the positions of "free" and "multilingual", to allow the former (which is shorter in average in all languages) to fit the smaller space available where the latter used to be.
5. Added small circles to mark the nodes where the words are coming out from; I feel this makes the intended structure of the image clearer, but I'm happy to make the circles smaller or remove them altogether.
6. Slightly tweaked the position of the "linked" and "structured" text elements to avoid the letters getting too close to the graph edges.
7. Indented the SVG code to better its structure, and make editing easier, e.g. for translations (this produces no visible changes to the rendered image).

I have validated all these changes with all the current translations. You can see them all visible in the following two images (one with partial transparency, and another with full opacity):

•  Agree --Kaganer (talk) 22:45, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Agree LGTM — 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙔.^ᴛᴀʟᴋ 01:10, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Agree small comments : could the dot be a little smaller and/or should they be the same color as the lines ? should you use stroke="rgb(51,153,102)" or style="stroke:#990000" both appears in the code (and shoudn't it be factorized in a group?) ? in bonus, we should ask for more languages ! I'll get in touch with the Wikidata:WikiProject India. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 07:05, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

  I can certainly make the dots smaller. As for the color, I actually used the same color as the text, so it's an already existing color. I used such a neutral color (grey) rather than one of the line colors, because one of the nodes (the one for "collaborative") sits at the intersection of lines of different colors. Of course, I could change the two small green lines leaving that point to be blue as well (and change some other blue lines into green, to compensate) and then the circles could be red, green and blue, according to the lines leaving them. What do you think? --Waldyrious (talk) 08:38, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Agree I've added the multilingual gallery in File:Wikidata nodes in white tweaked.svg#fileinfotpl_ver --Geraki ^T_L^G 08:30, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

  Thank you! --Waldyrious (talk) 08:38, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Agree Looks great. Ijon (talk) 12:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
•  Agree Looks better, thanks for making these changes and for the incredible communication/i18n checking done in the process. --Xelgen (talk) 09:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will upload the new version, and I'm happy to make any further adjustments that are agreed here. Cheers! --Waldyrious (talk) 15:41, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
