Web browser: --- Bug #: 37196 Summary: "wrong language" doesn't necessarily mean "not English" Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: i18n Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: PageTriage AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il CC: fflo...@wikimedia.org, rkald...@wikimedia.org Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- The messages 'pagetriage-tags-notenglish-label' and 'pagetriage-tags-notenglish-desc' are for tagging pages that are not written in the correct language. Currently English is hardcoded, but in non-English wikis the language will be different. There are several possible solutions: 1. Change the message to say "the language of this wiki". Pro: generic. Con: a bit long and possibly unclear. 2. Suggest in the qqq documentation that the translators replace "English" with the name of the respective language. Pro: easy to do, clear and helps avoiding grammar mistakes (see below). Con: The user may view the site in a different language, and then it will be confusing; though this is probably not very common, it's possible. 3. Change the language name to a parameter and send the native name of $wgLanguageCode as $1. Pro: Generic. Con: It's impossible to write a completely natural sentence, because in many languages the language name will have to be declined, so it will be something like this: "This page is now written in the language of this wiki (English)". I'm inclined towards numbers 1 or 3, but open to other ideas. (All of the above also assumes that the right language is the content language of the wiki and doesn't take multilingual wikis into account.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
