The Russian reader is supposed to have Russian interface. If you speak Russian and have Russian interface, and you read a policy page solely written in English, and the page contains a formatted number or a formatted date, then you'll see numbers and dates formatted as Russian in the middle of English text. This doesn't look like a big problem for me; plus, I still don't see what page could be using PLURAL, that seems even more unlikely. > > ---- > > You may be mixing up translated pages with such things like Autotranslate, > which exploits a hack of {{int:lang}}.

Indeed, you answer by yourself: most of the mixed-language content is created by LangSwitch, LanguageSelect, Autotranslate; the inconsistencies created in single pages by PLURAL and so on are negligible, or rather consistent with the expected inconsistency, :) If I have a file page with descriptions in n languages, and a date or number, I prefer to have the date and number formatted according to my language so that the 1 description in my interface language is completely correct (and the n-1 other descriptions be inconsistent), rather than having my 1 language wrong, 1 language I don't care about correct and n-2 languages still inconsistent... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
