Hi,
If you believe that this is the best translation, you should simply fix it
at translatewiki.net yourself!
Go to the main page https://translatewiki.net , create an account, edit the
page to which you linked, and that's it.
If you need any help, please let me know.

Hi,

Somehow, jquery.uls never had its own description page in translatewiki, so
I created one:

part of the ULS extension, and this must be documented somewhere.

We have a similar issue in ContentTranslation, where we have to say things
like "Translate this article from __" (

Dear Wikimedians,
The 2000th article that was written using the ContentTranslation extension
was published today.
Article #2000 was translated from English to Greek, and it's about Škocjan

The current way is the Compact language links beta feature. Try it, it's
pretty awesome :)
I hope to make it default some time soon.
Very briefly, currently it shows at the top languages selected by
geolocation, and languages that the user clicked in the past (stored in a
cookie). We also plan to
The similarity in the numbers is indeed striking, but I don't think that it
says much about the perception of the hamburger icon. I suspect that for
most readers the language button is more useful than *any* of the actions
in the hamburger menu - home, random, nearby, watchlist, settings, log in.

Hi,
Is it useful to use {{ns:project}} in messages? Isn't it simpler to write

Hi,
The question of date formats came up on the India mailing list [1] and this
made me think: Currently, how does a MediaWiki instance decide what is its
default date format? CLDR, PHP or something internal?

I wouldn't do it per language, even though there are languages that hardly
ever need gender, such as Hungarian ;)
Perhaps it could be done per message - to have a function somewhere in
jqueryMsg that quickly checks whether the parsed message would actually be
different for different genders, and i
Custom per-user fallback sequences are great, but good defaults are
important as well.

Hallo,
The MediaWiki Installer is in a somewhat unique position with regards to
localization: Its code and messages are a part of the core repository, but
it has a separate i18n file. The messages do not appear in the core group

significantly different.

Hi,
What is the right way to build jquery.ime with rangy for updating it in the
ULS extension?
I have the following simple script to do this:
===
#!/bin/bash
DESTINATION=/home/amire80/dev/livowiki/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector/lib/jquery.ime/
rm -rf dist
grunt --fo
I imagine that mw.msg provides more features, such as plural and
gender, and that makes it closer to the server-side i18n, but Niklas
may know better.
In any case, if it's deprecated, it should be documented.

Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes the default font doesn't work well with
