Yes. Set the $wgLanguageCode to 'de' in order to define that hte main content language and wikisyntax will be rendered for German (and due to canonical compatiblity English magic words will work as well). Then you can either set the interface to English (seperate from wgLanguageCode) in Special:Preferences to English, or alternatively if you want all users to have this preference set to "English" by default, add the following: $wgDefaultUserOptions['language'] = 'en'; I haven't tested this, but in theory it should make the wiki behave German with a -by default- English user interface. Note that this means all anonymous users will have a permanent English user interface, and users with accounts can set it to German if they prefer from Special:Preferences (which overrides $wgDefaultUserOptions ..) -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
