I agree with Michael. The burden should be on the community to do the translation needed, if the fallback isn't desired. Regards, Karen Broome

There has to be SOME fallback for untranslated strings. The base is English, I believe. I suspect most Ukrainian readers would find Russian fallback easier than English. If they don’t like Russian fallback, they should go to the trouble of translating the strings. “Disabling” fallback is foolish.

Hi, Ukrainian Wikipedia community holds vote for disabling Russian fallback language for Ukrainian interface language (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%96%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%... мовного приорітету для оголошень). Could langcom give procedural advices for how it shall be done the right way (e.g. I think there should be links to this vote from portal at TWN and in other Ukrainian Wikimedia projects' village pumps). We have cases when such our requests were not done by developers in spite of community decision so this time we need to know what way we should follow to done it finally.
