TMg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from TMg <[email protected]> 2011-10-05 21:54:43 UTC --- The problem is: Things like "Special:Prefixindex" are IDs for that page (I know, there is an other numeric ID but this is not visible, what's visible is the ID "Special:Prefixindex"). IDs should not be translated. This is similar to the translated function names in Microsoft Excel. Instead of "SUM()" or "AVERAGE()" you have to write "SUMME()" and "MITTELWERT()" in a German Excel. SUM and AVERAGE do not work at all. It's a mess. It's impossible to use an English help page while using a German Excel. However, it's possible to open an Excel sheet created in an other language. What happens is, Excel translates everything in the moment the file is opened. Same here: Solution 1: Do not translate "Special:Prefixindex" and other special page names. Make it "Special:Prefixindex" in all languages. Solution 2: Do auto-translation (like Excel does). Lets say, if somebody calls "Spezial:Präfixindex" in the English Wikipedia it should be redirected to "Special:Prefixindex" or whatever this page is called in the targeted wiki. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
