Summary: Allow setting the language setting at sign up.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: krinklem...@gmail.com
CC: agarr...@wikimedia.org
Currently when users register at sites like Commons or Meta there is no way of
knowing for them that aside from the different versions/translations of pages
that there is also an option in the preferences to change the language which
affects the user interface and templates like LangSwitch.
Perhaps this should become an option during registration.
There currently already is a set of uselang-links on the login and sign up page
that will show that page in a different language, this new dropdown menu on the
registration page would assume the value of the current uselang so that people
going to
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&uselang=de&type=signup
or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup?uselang=de don't
have to change the dropdown menu (asuming they want it to be German)
