Closing this bug too. We're always available on translatewiki.net, #mediawiki-i18n etc. to help you translate the interface to Ukrainian as much as possible and in the easiest way possible for you needs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 37314] Remove Russian fallback for Ukrainian language
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37314 --- Comment #20 from Andrij 2012-06-07 20:24:07 UTC --- *The fallback to Russian and then to English, instead of the fallback directly to English, seems to be a controversial issue. The discussion in uk.wiki shows that some of us are strongly oppose, and some of us are neutral on this subject. May be an additional discussion is needed to draw a conclusion if Russian fallback is preferable or not for most of Ukrainian wikipedians. *In any case the best solution of the issue is a possibility to localise everything in Ukrainian that is already localised in other languages. *Thanks for link, I think it is already high time to apply changes for both pages, they are pretty complete. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

As follows, you do nor the first neither the second. As we are going into full debate mode here, something that's great on wiki talk pages, but now what bug trackers are meant for, let me make one contribution. You are making a fine effort to represent that what is bent as straight. * The Ukranian localisation of MediaWiki falls back to Russian, and after that to English. It's been like that for multiple years as someone has pointed out in comment 2. * MediaWiki is fully localisable, including special page URLs. If something is not localisable, we make very reasonable and timely efforts to make it so. * Users deserve products that are fully localised; they interact better with them. * Until recently, Russian and Ukranian both didn't have special page localisation. * As Russian has it now, Ukranian now has localisation of special page URLs in Russian, because of fallback behaviour. Solution? Localise everything in Ukranian and there won't be any Russian. I'm aware of the current *political* issues involving Russian in the Ukraine. That however, does not dismiss the linguistic reasons for "ru" as fallback for "uk". If you guys (and/or girls) get the localisation done, I'll make every effort so that it will be deployed out of schedule. Please let me know when it's done. Wile you're at it, please also have a look at magic words[1], although those seem pretty complete already.

Special page names are not part of daily commits, and > not part of LocalisationUpdate. Expect them in 1.20wmf5. Could you please in this case at least temporarily remove Russian fallback. This does pose a problem for Ukrainian wiki communities, as we have numerous links that will not work anymore once these pages are translated. For example, all the signature of anonymous users are now [[Спеціальна:Вклад]] (Внесок in Ukrainian). Formerly it was [[Спеціальна:Contributions]], which was considered as normal and which will be supported anyway because of compatibility issues. [[Спеціальна:Вклад]] links are not supposed to be functional, as Russian language page names are not supported in, say, German or Polish wikis. So currently the best solution is to temporarily remove Russian fallback (it takes just a minute to remove one line of code) and let us have English special page names at least until 1.20wmf5 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

We can see at WM-UA wiki that RC page is currently http://ua.wikimedia.org/wiki/Спеціальна:Свежие_правки . Спеціальна is a Special page in Ukrainian, but Свежие_правки is a Russian name for RecentChanges. Currently Ukrainian community does not want to give local names to Special pages, but we want to get English names and not Russian ones. The same is the case for all other special pages in all Ukrainian projects except Wikipedia. So please at least remove Russian fallback for special pages in Ukrainian wikis.
