Summary: {{int}} template call partially uses content language
rather than user language
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

The issue comes up when you want to get a localized message from the api that
includes parser logic.
For example:
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=parse&uselang=wa&text={{int:undelete_short|0}}&format=json
returns: <p>Rapexhî 0 candjmints</p>
wa language uses singular form for zero, so the proper transformation per
uselang should be:
<p>Rapexhî on candjmint </p>
It should certainly not be a mix of the "wa" language key with the "English"
plural parser logic.
There are two possible solutions that I see:
1) We use "uselang" language instead of wgContentLang when doing action=parse.
This could add a check at the api level for uselang and override wgContentLang.
or
2) We could have a separate api entry point for localizations with transforms (
ie extend the meta=allmessages entry point with msg arguments. Avoiding the
action=parse and {{int}} hack all together.
