A small tip: to find most MediaWiki: messages that haven't yet been
translated, view the HTML source of [[Special:Allmessages]] and search
the source code for the following string:
" class="new" title="MediaWiki:
This will lead you to any redlinked pages in the MediaWiki namespace,
and the trailing colon ensures that you skip over any talk pages. I
found Niklas' "Internationalisation news" a lot more useful for finding
out about recent interface changes, but if you find that your wiki has
some catching-up to do, this is the way to go.

Does anyone know how long it'll take for this list to appear at Gmane? I
prefer to subscribe to this list as a newsgroup, since my e-mail inbox
gets full enough as it does.

Hallo!
Please take a look at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix#ps
and compare how the translation of "Pashto" is rendered there compared with
http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/project:LanguagePs.php_and_MessagesPs.p…
where <span style="font-size: 16px;" > is used.
Some time ago I made some tests trying to find suitable font-family, font-size
for the different languages. I used conditional templates to write these texts
and longer texts in differnt variants. As far as I know this work is lost.
Before posting a feature request at MediaZIlla to include such informations
either in Names.php (eventualy inLanguageXx.php or MessagesXx.php) I would like
to know your opinion and what additional information is rerquired.
I am not familiar with HTML, X..., CSS . What information would be required in
such tags?
best regards [[user:gangleri]]
Hi!
I'm sorry if this question was already discussed here before.
When I move page in Belarusian WIkipedia MediaWiki software use
#redirect keyword. However LanguageBe.php contains translation and
it's more logically to use localized term instead of English one.
I think situation is same on other projects.
Should I file bug report?
With best regards,
Eugene.
Hello,
There has been lots of activity recently: many updates to
translations, changes to the code which handles translations, and even
new language, Tyvan, got added with few translated messages.
Latest changes to code makes possible to use {{plural:}} and
{{grammar:}}, so that they work also when user language is different
from content language. They also work with params like $1 now.
Previously only {{GRAMMAR:{{SITENAME}} would have worked correctly.
However, this does not apply all messages, but only those converted to
use this new function. It is work in progress.
First ones to be converted are probably those mentioned in bugs
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5805 and
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5806.
Other things that I intend to do are:
* Some maintenance scripts to help translation: for example script
that checks translations but ignores messages that should not be
translated
* Fixes to special pages: missing formatNum, BIDI-fixes
* and other things to keep Mediawiki fully internationalised :)
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Latest statistics can be found
at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Localization_statistics

Hi!

In case you didn't know that: note that there are useful tools to aid
with such tasks in the maintenance folder:
* checktrans.php lists all untranslated messages (i.e. they exist in
Messages.php, but not in the selected language),
* redundanttrans.php lists all redundant messages (i.e. they exist in
the selected language, but not in Messages.php, probably removed
legacy messages),
* duplicatetrans.php lists all duplicate messages (i.e. translated
into an identical string).
