As Mark Hershberger is busy preparing the MediaWiki 1.18 release,
Niklas and I spent time yesterday to prepare an i18n triage for
Wednesday. The following bugs will be discussed. I would specifically
call for any newbie developers to come to this triage because we have
selected a bunch of relatively easy issues you may be able to help
with to familiarize yourself with the MediaWiki localistion code and
submit a patch for.
Please forward this e-mail to anyone who may be interested.
The triage will have two sections.
== Message documentation and message related coding ==
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16026 --
MediaWiki:Revision-info should accept wikimarkup
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16111 --
MediaWiki:Cascadeprotected and MediaWiki:Cascadedprotectedwarning should
take the same parameters
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16175 -- Clean up the
rendering of messages displayed at the top of the edit window
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17148 -- The warning about
editing a semi-protected page can display an irrelevant edit summary

body]] needs GENDER support
== Harder issues and discussion ==
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28428 -- Allow saving pages
with LRM and RLM in titles, showing a warning and requiring a user right
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28411 -- titles of articles
with LTR titles in RTL wikis may be displayed incorrectly in categories
and special pages
Discusion: Should we implement proper i18n support for named message
parameters? Niklas will introduce this topic.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30182 -- Untranslated
gadget descriptions have incorrect directionality in RTL user languages
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30238 -- Create method to
get directionality of message including the fallback tree
Discussion: Our i18n system loses language information in the process.
Should this be resolved? Niklas will introduce this topic.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28021 -- Migrate
translation projects at Meta to the Translate extension -- basically this
issue is about getting the extension reviewed before it can be installed.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15308 -- Review Babel
extension for deployment on Wikimedia Wikis
I hope to see many of you there!
Cheers!
