To translate wikimedia formatted text, there are several options.

  • apertium-desmediawiki/-remediawiki in the apertium package is installed by default, but only handles the basics
    • Usage: cat file.wiki | apertium-desmediawiki | apertium -f none es-ca | apertium-remediawiki
  • apertium-mediawiki -- a newer work-in-progress format handler that handles links better (see below)
  • Mediawiki Extension:Translate -- if you run a wiki, you can install this to use Apertium through it
but can you actually translate wikimedia-formatted articles with it, or just po-files and such?
  • you can run a clean-up script such as wikifix.pl after just using the regular format handler

you can install the apertium-mediawiki format handler and use it like you would use the HTML format handler. The wikimedia format handler is still a work-in-progress.
