Niklas Laxström <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #11 from Niklas Laxström <[email protected]> 2009-06-17 07:40:10 UTC --- Some comments: I do not find it acceptable to not support plural. It should be part of bare minimum of i18n support of any software (and the array approach is not going to work for that). How to do it, I see three alternatives: 1) call MediaWiki to parse it. 2) implement a i18n library in javascript 3) implement a system that can generate the code for php and javascript from common source (i.e. language neutral i18n library, or just library with different language versions kept in sync) 3) is of course a huge project (and 2) too), but on the other hand it is stupid that every software needs to re-implement it. 1) is probably too slow, as discussed above. GENDER is problematic, because it depends on external data (gender of username X). We should also support number formatting. > (with big comment headers that identify > these msgs are copied from the js and to modify > them in the js instead of here) This concerns me a bit. The whole stuff is a huge piece of code with only a few developers that know it. It is a lot to learn to just improve wording of few messages. Although grep and JavaScript string syntax escaping are probably enough for most of the cases. -- 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
