Bug #: 32971
Summary: Possibility to use language converter for converting
interface messages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Language converter
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
An idea that I have had for some time.. Now making a bugzilla entry :)
Some languages have a LanguageConverter implementation. Often these languages
have a localisation for each script. Sometimes (not always) these conversions
are exact mappings without any or only a few ambiguities. In such cases (not
when there is ambiguity!) it should be possible to let LanguageConverter
convert the interface message, so translator efforts are not duplicated.
Take e.g.
* ike-latn
* ike-cans
Both are localised, and their messages are identical. If you transliterate
ike-latn to Syllabics (and vice versa) you have the exact same message.
So it would be useful to localise to only one of them, and then let MediaWiki
convert it to the other script when generating localisation caches.
