While I'm on the subject of local language versions, I posted a query to Wikitech-l last week about who, if anyone, monitors and applies requested changes to the LanguageXX.php files, requested via [[meta:Requests for languageXX.php update]] and [[meta:Language files to be updated]] and got no reply at all --- there are requests on there that go back to last March and there is no indication that any of them have been actioned.
[[meta:Requests for languageXX.php update]] is rather dead, it is from the time before users were able to customize messages using MediaWiki:...
In that case it's a rather unfortunate that there's quite a prominent link to it from "meta utilities" on meta's front page! But notwithstanding MediaWiki, there are other things which individual language users may wish to customise, such as magic words, words for "left" "right" "centre" "thumb" etc. for the image syntax, namespace names, etc., which are among the things I've been trying to update on cy. There is still a need for user communities to be able to attract the attention of developers.
