I'm trying to start an arabic wiki site (similar
to the arabic Wikipedia)
but when I install Mediawiki (1.2.5) and switch to the arabic language
everything goes right-to-left but most of the messages (Link names, page
titles, ...) stay in english. I'm not that PHP expert so I couldn't debug
it.
LanguageAr.php is unfortunately not very complete; on
ar.wikipedia.org
most of the localized messages are provided by customized messages in
the MediaWiki: namespace pages. Unless someone's already set up to do
this, you'll have to collect them all and copy them in.
(This could be done programatically; the cur database dump available
from
http://download.wikimedia.org/ will include all pages including the
special MediaWiki: pages which carry the localized messages.)
