Bawolff <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution| |FIXED --- Comment #5 from Bawolff <[email protected]> 2011-05-21 03:43:52 UTC --- Ok, so here's what happens when displaying the block log: * The block string is run through Language::translateBlockExpiry. * This (in all languages except Finnish) looks at SpecialBlock::getSuggestedDurations which looks at the message 'ipboptions' - Which is the message used to give suggestion on the block page. * In most languages, infinite is on this list, but indefinite is not, so infinite gets translated, while indefinite does not. (oddly enough on en, infinite is translated to indefnite, and indefinite is kept the same). Since infinite, infinity, and indefinite are all taken to mean until the end of the world, I tend to agree they're equivalent. Furthermore we already translate infinite to indefinite, and so far no one has complained. With that in mind I went ahead and made infinity/indefinite/infinite be treated as synonyms when translated in r88507 (1.19) [while not in Finnish, but every other lang]. I consider that much more the base issue than which word CheckUser uses. Feel free to re-open if anyone thinks this is super-bad idea. -- 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
