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. -- Minh Nguyen <mxn(a)zoomtown.com> AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: mxn(a)myjabber.net; Blog: http://mxn.f2o.org/

Scripts, font-family, font-size, directionality etc.
by Reinhardt WIEWE ＠ torg.is 08 May '06

08 May '06

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]]

Choosing Translated Term of Redirect During Move
by Eugene Zelenko 08 May '06

08 May '06

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.

Internationalisation news
by Niklas Laxström 08 May '06

08 May '06

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 And finally, most of you probably already know these, here is the list of changes to messages in period of 2005-05-01 to 2005-05-07. Removed: -'groups-lookup-group' -'groups-group-edit' -'editgroup' -'addgroup' -'groups-editgroup' -'groups-addgroup' -'groups-editgroup-preamble' -remainder will be treated as a message name, and hence the text will be localised -using the MediaWiki namespace', -'groups-editgroup-name' -'groups-editgroup-description' -'savegroup' -'groups-tableheader' -'groups-existing' -'groups-noname' -'groups-already-exists' -'addgrouplogentry' -'changegrouplogentry' -'renamegrouplogentry' -'usenewcategorypage' ===== Changed: 'rcnote' 'imagelisttext' 'revertpage' 'undeletebtn' 'nbytes' supports {{plural:}} now ===== Added: +'members' +'undeleteextrahelp' +'undeletereset' +'undeletecomment' +'rightsnone' +'confirmemail_needlogin' ===== Renamed and changed: -'bureaucratlog' to 'rightslog' -'bureaucratlogentry' to 'rightslogentry' ===== Groups thing was split to 'group name' and 'name of group member' and you can even define the link to every group page: -'group-anon-name' -'group-anon-desc' -'group-loggedin-name' -'group-loggedin-desc' -'group-admin-name' -'group-admin-desc' -'group-bureaucrat-name' -'group-bureaucrat-desc' -'group-steward-name' -'group-steward-desc' +'group' +'group-bot' +'group-sysop' +'group-bureaucrat' +'group-steward' +'group-all' +'group-bot-member' +'group-sysop-member' +'group-bureaucrat-member' +'group-steward-member' +'grouppage-bot' +'grouppage-sysop' +'grouppage-bureaucrat' -- Niklas Laxström
