Summary: Language fallback should also work for customized
messages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All

OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Internationalization

Currently, the language fallback does only work for the messages of the
language files. It would be nice, if it could also be used to search for
customized messages.
Example (see url):
On dewiki, a user selects de-ch as user language (which falls back to de). If a
certain message is not defined in MessagesDe-ch.php, MW shows the message from
MessagesDe.php, while it would be better to look for a customized message in
MediaWiki namespace first.
So the lookup order should be
* DB message of userlang (MediaWiki:foobar/de-ch)
* message file of userlang (MessagesDe-ch.php)
* DB message of fallback lang (MediaWiki:foobar/de rsp. MediaWiki:foobar if
identical to content language)
* message file of fallback lang (MessagesDe.php)
