Does the Special:MyLanguage support multiple languages? If not, I think it ought, it would be a good fallback chain.

The specific need is that I want to set the 'Mobile-frontend-terms-url'
message to '//m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Terms_of_Use'
via the WikimediaMessages extension, so that people clicking the 'Terms of
Use' link at the bottom of the page will get sent to the Terms of Use in
their own language. Right now, wiki administrators have to override this
message locally to point to the correct translation (after checking to see
if it actually exists).

(Added this information to the bug as well.)

Today, Kaldari wanted to have translate enabled on foundationwiki so that
Special:MyLanguage was available, but that would fall afoul of bug:44871

MyLanguage features on wikis that don't have (and wont have) translate.

Are there any concerns with separating out that special page into it's own
extension? The one that immediately jumps to mind is how the i18n team
bundles translate.

Hi.

I read your post and
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44871#c19> and still can't
figure out what Kaldari wants to do. Can someone explain why
Special:MyLanguage is needed on wikimediafoundation.org?

I'm also a little confused about the reference to "Extension:Collection"
in the subject line. Did you mean "Extension:Translate"? (Also, its. :P)

Putting "Special:MyLanguage"-type functionality in MediaWiki core seems
fine to me. It just maps a user's language preference to a language code
subpage, right? So "Special:MyLanguage/Foo" for someone who's specified
that she speaks Spanish would redirect to "Foo/es".
