--- Comment #7 from Matt Walker <[email protected]> --- When I originally wrote the base patch I had a couple of different ideas for how this would work. This particular option was chosen, in part, due to the belief that if the local community had overridden the default message then they had done so for a reason -- and that reason should be communicated to all users regardless of locale. This does mean that more messages will have to be updated -- and that right now that's extremely annoying -- but it doesn't mean it's not the correct choice. The one case I find the current behavior especially compelling is if someone has modified a message to place in warning text/guidelines about usage/something similar. The other option I thought would be correct is, if the thought is that locale specific messaging is more important than community inspired messaging, to oscillate back and forth between on-wiki and localization cache messages. IE: look in /pt-br on wiki then in CDB; then /pt on wiki then in CDB; /en on wiki then in CDB. This would require a bit of meta-data in the CDB saying what locale the message came from. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
