Extensions translation
by Rotem Liss 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Currently, I think there is no easy way to translate the extensions of MediaWiki into other languages. I suggest to create a hook, or something like that, in the end of every messages list in every languages (named "addMessages", "addMessagesDe", etc.), and to add their returned value to the array. The extensions will add functions like "MakeSysopMessages", "MakeSysopMessagesDe", etc., to these hooks. Is it possible? -- #define Name RotemLiss #define Mail mailSTRUDELrotemlissDOTcom #define Site www.rotemliss.com

Feed History
by Minh Nguyen 28 May '06

28 May '06

Brion apparently added feed support for page history via Bug 472 and r14428, but now there's the message "history-feed-item-nocomment". It contains only the text "$1 at $2", which makes no sense out of context, when you're translating into a language like Vietnamese. I played around with the history feeds, but I couldn't find the string. Is "$2" a location, time, or file size? -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/

Localized Magic Words and ?uselang=<code>
by Eugene Zelenko 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi! Is it possible to account localized magic words in system messages when viewing arbitrary wiki (most interesting is Commons) with adding ?uselang=<code> to address? Or only English magic words could be used in system messages? I played with Commons, and Belarusian PLURAL function is selected properly, but I need to change МНОЖНЫ_ЛІК to PLURAL (and other magic words too) in MessagesBe.php. Thank you for comments, Eugene.

Incorrect Plural in 'categories' Message
by Eugene Zelenko 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi! PLURAL is used incorrectly in 'categories' message ('{{PLURAL:$1|Category|Categories}}'). For Belarusian/Russian languages this message should not take in account actual number. Just as in English single and plural form: For one category: Катэгорыя/Категория For many categories: Катэгорыі/Категории. This message is used as title of Special:Categories where second form must be used. Belarusian/Russain plural function without arguments will return 3 incorrect argument: Катэгорый/Категорий. I think best solution is to split this message to Category/Categories messages. With best regards, Eugene.
