In order to help them we always try to communicate with them in the language they set in their preferences. Most parts of the website interface show up in user's language, including current version of the babel template. We work hard on interface localization and for most parts users coming to commons from different wikipedias can navigate the website without knowing English. In this context insistence that this part of the interface will only show up in English feels like a big step back. I do not understand the cache pollution issue, since this is a static text linked to the same page no matter what is the language, and we had this message localized for years with no issues as far as I can tell. May be we can ass an extra parameter which would allow different projects choose which type of behavior is preferable on their project. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
