, type the language you want to translate to in the search box and click on the "Write a new translation" button to access the Content translation tool on mobile, as shown below.

Topic selection and Collections guide
edit
1. How to navigate the filter types
edit
The
“For You”
filter type gives suggestions based on editing history.
The
“Popular”
filter type provides suggestions where there’s no past edit history.
The
“...More”
filter allows one to navigate and view different topic labels.
2. How to navigate the topic labels
edit
The single selection of a topic from the "...More" filter, displays translation suggestions related to the selected topic.
For example, the selection of
Art
displays translation suggestions related to Art, the same way, the single selection of
Sport
will show translation suggestions related to Sports.
Below is an illustration that shows how to change topics.
3. How to navigate the "Collections" and "All collections" labels
edit
Selection of
Vital Articles
brings translation suggestions related to vital articles.
Selection of
All Collections
brings translation suggestions related to all available collections (
Pages including a page collection
).

Meta

Copy and Paste
this html marker to the bottom of the
