Hoi,<br>As far as I understand it, for an anonymous user the message is first the language of the Wiki, then the fall back language for that language and then English. When a user has set a preference, it is this language then a potential fall back language and then English.<br>
<br>You always get a message, whether or not you get the message.<br>Thanks,<br> GerardM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 3:10 PM, Brianna Laugher <<a href="mailto:brianna.laugher@gmail.com">brianna.laugher@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>
AFAIK there is no document on <a href="http://mediawiki.org" target="_blank">mediawiki.org</a> which says this<br>
definitively yet. what order are the following things consulted in, in<br>
finding a relevant system message?<br>
<br>
XX - wiki's default language (not en, for argument's sake)<br>
YY - user's language preference (not en or XX)<br>
ZZ - language code specified in the URL as uselang=ZZ (not en, XX or YY)<br>
<br>
A MessagesEn.php<br>
B MessagesXX.php<br>
C MessagesYY.php<br>
D MessagesZZ.php<br>
E MediaWiki:Message<br>
F MediaWiki:Message/XX<br>
G MediaWiki:Message/YY<br>
H MediaWiki:Message/ZZ<br>
??? any others???<br>
<br>
(assume also for interest's sake that a particular one may not be<br>
defined, so it has to keep looking)<br>
<br>
Is this the order?<br>
H<br>
E<br>
D<br>
B<br>
A<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
Brianna<br>
