The browser compatibility API and the API-back compatibility tables are in alpha testing. | The browser compatibility API and the API-back compatibility tables are in alpha testing. | ||
In the future, it will be a lot easier to translate strings. Some ideas are: | |||
# If a table has non-localized strings, the JS will know it, and MDN visitors will be prompted to contribute a translation for that string. | |||
# The contribution interface will provide a translation interface focused on an MDN page. | |||
# The contribution interface will provide a translator interface, showing a high-level view of the translation state for a locale, and where the English variant has been updated since the local variant. | |||
The work priorities are: | |||
# Make it ''possible'' to translate strings, even if it is difficult or technical. | |||
# Make it ''easy'' to translate strings, with useful interfaces | |||
# Make it ''natural'' to translate strings, as a side-effect of viewing the site. | |||

* The importer has a preview of translated content, as seen by the API. Go to [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/importer/ the importer], find the page you are interested in (for example [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/importer/726 Web/CSS/display], and use the links in the "Languages" section to see the content (partially) translated into that locale. | * The importer has a preview of translated content, as seen by the API.

* When a feature has been committed to the API, you can view the API translated strings, such as [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/view_feature/730 Web/CSS/display]. This works identically to the importer's sample views, but works with the committed API data available for MDN pages. | * When a feature has been committed to the API, you can view the API translated strings, such as [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/view_feature/730 Web/CSS/display].
