Small thread on api list about localising languages lists.. I think
it would be worth while. I don't think it would be too costly to the
translate community, especially if we seeded it from some digital
source. Do people know of a good source for localised language lists? If nothing else the inter-wiki links on the wikipedia article for each language might be a good start. --michael -------- Original Message --------

Its not much different from adding an extension with 371 msg keys, we have like ~3K msg keys just core no? You could look at as adding 10% more messages. I would support having localised listing of languages. it would make language selection widgets a lot easier to follow. This list could be seeded from a digital source relativity easily. What to translate wiki folks think? --michael _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api |
