Wikipedia importer doesn't import translations for dumps made since 2013 #114

Open judithek opened 9 years ago

Wikipedia articles used to list translations of the same page using interlanguage links
in the article wikitext.  For example, the English article "ferret" would
contain the links [[de:Frettchen]] and [[fr:Furet]] somewhere in the wikitext itself.
 However, since 2013 Wikipedia no longer marks page translations this way.  Instead
they are all managed in a central knowledge base known as Wikidata.

I understand UBY's Wikipedia importer relies on the presence of these interlanguage
links, which no longer exist in recent dumps.  In order to continue to import Wikipedia
translation data, we will need to rewrite the converter (or write a new one) which
gets the translation data from Wikidata dumps.  (Or alternatively, we could add this
functionality to JWPL upstream.)
