(Please keep commons-l cc-ed, not everyone is subscribed to
mediawiki-i18n. :)
Could the extension can, or be tweaked to, help with our other
multilingual content?
[…]
LS is already deprecated and should be killed at least for templates
(multichill told me very few if any still use it, right?);
Well, it has more than 3.7 millions transclusions… See also
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Internationalization_templates_using_LangSwitch>
Sorry, I meant LanguageSelect (LS/WM:LS on Meta), not LangSwitch.
Just asking: would it play nicely with our AnonymousI18N script?
<https://commons.wikimedia.__org/wiki/MediaWiki:__AnonymousI18N.js
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:AnonymousI18N.js>>
If it's what I remember, that would be superseded.
AFAIK, AnonymousI18N handles the following :
* Language selection
→ Handled − that is kind of the purpose of the Universal Language
*Selector* right ? ;-)
* Language suggestion, based on « data from cookie, referal url &
browser settings »
"referal" means that AnonymousI18N can detect that your are coming from
it.wikipedia.org <http://it.wikipedia.org>, your interface should be in
Italian
→ What about ULS ?
I think ULS is smarter than that.
* Language “uselang” persistency, regardless of the previous
Meaning, if landing on Commons from a URL with ?uselang=fr (obviously
from templates on projects, but also from links everywhere [people like
me who always tweet/write links with a uselang ;-)]), the ?uselang=fr is
set for all outbound links, meaning language persistency.
→ ULS does not appear to do that from my test on TranslateWiki.
(Arriving from <https://translatewiki.net/?uselang=it>, interface in
Italian ; clicking a link, interface in French)
This is an "abuse" of ?uselang, more "standard" would be ?setlang. The
selection is persistent with ULS, but uselang is not the way to make it;
uselang still works as usual, though.
What features of ULS can be enabled or not, I'm not able to say. As
Niklas replied on Commons on this point, I guess it's better to continue
there?
