Summary: Fix translateAndCapitalizeNamespaces for Portuguese
Initial Comment:
Per discussion on
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pt/wiki/Wikipédia:Esplanada/proposta…
please, change the function translateAndCapitalizeNamespaces (from cosmetic_changes.py) so
that the bots stop doing the following chnges:
* Image --> Ficheiro
* File --> Ficheiro
* Arquivo --> Ficheiro
* Imagem --> Ficheiro
This is necessary in order to avoid linguistic problems, considering that
"Arquivo" is the preferred word on Brazil but "Ficheiro" is preferred
on Portugal.
For **image** files, the word "Imagem" is common to both Portuguese variants,
and as such it is preferred, so this should be the name used when changing the namespace
name of images. The use of "Ficheiro" and "Arquivo" is preferred only
for **other kinds of files** (such as PDF or OGG), which are not images.
So, in short, the bots should do the following changes:
* For images (i.e. files with one of the following extensions: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, svg,
tiff, tif), change:
** Image --> Imagem
** File --> Imagem
** Ficheiro --> Imagem
** Arquivo --> Imagem
*For other files (i.e. files with one of the following extensions: xcf, pdf, mid, ogg,
ogv, djvu, oga):
** Arquivo --> Do not change (we should respect the variant used by the editors)
** Ficheiro --> Do not change (we should respect the variant used by the editors)
** File --> Do not change (or change randomly to "Ficheiro" or
"Arquivo", since it is indeed a "file" and both pt and pt-BR are
acceptable)
** Image --> Do not change (or change randomly to "Ficheiro" or
"Arquivo", since it is indeed a "file" and both pt and pt-BR are
acceptable)
** Imagem --> Do not change (or change randomly to "Ficheiro" or
"Arquivo", since it is indeed a "file" and both pt and pt-BR are
acceptable)
PS: the output of "python version.py" is the foolowing, although this bug report
applies to all versions:

Message:
The bot doesn't see the extension of that links. For implement this
behavior, that code needs to be redesigned. Maybe a future feature. If
there is a way for fixing namespace aliases without looking at the
extension, we could do it sooner. I've deactivated
translateAndCapitalizeNamespaces for the file namespace now.
