Hello all,

As part of a project I am embarking upon to provide a client\repository system for distribution and installation of MediaWiki extensions I am attempting to provide internationalized descriptions to users. One way to use this is to extract the data from extension i18n files, however it was suggested that using the wiki would allow many more users to contribute to the process. To implement such a function description messages would have to be synced between extension pages and the subversion repo and vice versa - this is the simple stage. Currently, however, there exists no unified way to provide content to users based upon interface language on Wikimedia wikis -- essential for implementation of such a feature.

Therefore, I was wondering what the issue with the current multi-lang extensions are (e.g. [1] and [2]) and whether such issues still exist.

Thank you, MinuteElectron.
