We have a new system to translate taxonomies directly on the web site. To access it, just go to a page that lists some tags (categories, labels) like the one for categories in German: https://de.openfoodfacts.org/categories and then add ?translate=add to the url like this:
+
https://de.openfoodfacts.org/categories?translate=add
+
+
It will show a list of the categories that are not yet translated to German, and you can type in a translation. Just click on save, and that's it.
+
Benefits of this new method to translate taxonomies:
+
1. no need to go to the wiki, load a huge list etc.
+
2. you see instantaneously the list of entries that have no translation in the language that interests you
+
3. the list is sorted by the number of products: you can prioritize the translations to first translate the entries that are on a lot of products
+
4. there is a link to the actual products that have this category, label etc. -> that can be very useful to understand what kind of products we are talking about, and also to see how the category etc. is written on the actual products.
+
5. you can add the &translate=add to any page that lists tags, so you can filter it by country, by any other facet etc.
+
+
If you want to see the list of entries that have pending translations, you can add &translate=review
+
And if you want to see both the list of entries to be translated and with pending translations, you can add &translate=edit (useful if you made a mistake and want to change a translation)
+
Here is what it looks like:
