| Bugreporter renamed this task from "Raw message name displayed on interface" to "Apply correct fallback for messages displayed on interface". Bugreporter updated the task description. (Show Details) |
CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
Expected:
Messages are fallbacked to an appropriate language (probably English)All not translated messages are fallbacked to the nearest language that the message is translated, regardless whether and how you have switched the interface language
Actual:
If you have not switched the interface language or you purged the page, messages are displayed like "wdqs-app-button-examples"
If you have switched the interface language sometimes the interface are sometimes (**not always**) displayed in the nearest fallbacked language **you previously used** (purging will clear this record). fallback is not applied if some but not all messages are translated
Tests:
(no messages translated in ltg, map-bms, mhr; some messages translated in lv, cs, sk, id, jv; all messages translated in ru, zh-hans)
en->ltg (interface in en)
lv->ltg (interface in lv)
ltg->en->ltg->lv->ltg (interface in lv)
en->tyv (interface in en)
en->zh (interface in en)
en->zh-hans (interface in en)
id->map-bms (interface in id)
jv->id->map-bms (interface in jv)
id->jv->map-bms (interface in jv)
Messages are displayed like "wdqs-app-button-examples"ru->mhr (interface in ru)
but:
ru->tyv (no interface language fallback)
cs->sk (no interface language fallback, language partly in sk and partly in)
