Bug #: 41629
Summary: the message mobile-frontend-on (and -off) is recycled
and causes incorrect translations
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MobileFrontend

The message "mobile-frontend-on" was used only for images in the past. It was
also combined with "mobile-frontend-toggle-images". That's what the
documentation said, too (actually, I wrote it, but it was true at the time). It
was translated to other languages in a way that fits images, but not
necessarily other things.
Now it is used for turning other options on and off, and this is grammatically
incorrect for some languages. I can think of two solutions:
1. Clarify in the documentation that this message is for all options, and mark
all the existing translations as FUZZY to notify the translators that they
should consider updating them.
2. Create an on/off message for every option.
Maybe there are also other possible solutions.
Also, "mobile-frontend-toggle-images" can probably be removed completely.
