We have a new system to translate taxonomies directly on the Open Food Facts web site. To access it, just go to a page that lists some tags (categories, labels) like the one for categories in German: <br>
 +
https://world-de.openfoodfacts.org/categories and then add '''?translate=add''' to the url like this:<br>
 +
https://world-de.openfoodfacts.org/categories?translate=add<br><br>
 +
 +
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:
 +
# No need to go to the wiki, load a huge list etc.
 +
# You see instantaneously the list of entries that have no translation in the language that interests you
 +
# 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
 +
# 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.
 +
# 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:
