Various issues related to the translation process

[nicolas-goudry]

I noticed several issues while translating some pages so I’ll gather them in this issue:

1. Some translation units with an external link will fail to be published

This is currently tracked in a separate issue

2. Pages are not automatically translated to the currently selected wiki language, even if the translation is available

Example with the “Nix ecosystem” page:

• Go to Nix ecosystem
• Select “français” in the header
• Notice that the selected page language is still “English”, even if the french translation is available

3. Automatic subpages list shows translated pages in addition to default pages

Example with the “NixOS on ARM” page:

• Go to NixOS on ARM subpages list
• Notice that the “en” and “fr” pages are listed
• Notice that the “UEFI”, “UEFI/en” and “UEFI/fr” pages are listed

4. Automatic subpages list does not show on translated pages

Example with the “NixOS on ARM” page:

• Go to NixOS on ARM subpages list
• Notice that the list of subpages is present
• Go to either the “en” or “fr” page translation subpages list
• Notice that the list of subpages is not present

5. Sidebar is not automatically translated to the currently selected wiki language

• Notice that a french version of the sidebar exists
• Select “français” in the header
• Notice that the sidebar still displays the english version

Mhm it looks like for translations to work they have to use special language links everywhere in the KDE wiki. Not so ergonomic. And for the sidebar they need to use translatable templates.

Ah. We basically need this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-wiki-infra/issues/119
