Bug #: 36851
Summary: ইমার ঠার/বিষ্ণুপ্রিয়া মণিপুরী is a very long name for
a language
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Anytime I use a language selector in MediaWiki, the selector is absurdly wide
due to the native rendering of Bishnupriya Manipuri (which renders as 27 boxes
for anyone without the proper font). This breaks the normal formatting of the
page in some cases. Apparently the rendering we are using is equivalent to: "My
native language/Manipuri as spoken by the people in Bishnupur". The first part
is not a real language name and I would like to propose that we drop it. Would
any Bishnupriya Manipuri speakers have trouble recognizing বিষ্ণুপ্রিয়া
মণিপুরী? Also, the rendering in English (via CLDR) is simply "Bishnupriya
Manipuri", not "Imar Thar/Bishnupriya Manipuri", if that has any bearing. The
place where this would actually be fixed is /languages/Names.php, line 47.
