Hi everybody,
Representatives of the Serbian Wikipedia have asked a number of times how they can get their conversion engine installed for sr.wikipedia.
1) It was approved in a vote by Serbian Wikipedians 2) It will make Wikipedia more usable to many people, including most Montenegrins 3) It does not require any new software; rather it is a fully working Mediawiki component already.
Now, so far there has been no response from this community.
Please, somebody, respond -- how is it that the Chinese Wikipedia got a conversion system implemented as soon as it was written, but the Serbian Wikipedia is waiting and waiting and waiting?

Where's the patch to LanguageSr.php and the conversion library to make this happen?
Mark, thank you for asking this.

It can be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BraneJ/Serbian_Variants with the hole explanation. I can send the whole files, too.
But, it would be very helpful that some of us have CVS access for that purpose. This, first variant, which is just read-only for Latin and Iyekavian should be changed through the time and to include write version, too.

Please open a bug in bugzilla for this and attach the files (and unified diffs where appropriate) to it.
