Bug #: 31874
Summary: Preferences and lang codes should distinguish
"English" from "American English"/"U.S. English"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Right now our preferences list lists "en - English", "en-CA - Canadian
English", and "en-GB - British English". However in reality the "en - English"
is en-US ("American English" or "U.S. English").
We should update the preferences system and lang output to accurately reflect
state:
- Special:Preferences should list en-US instead of 'en' and call it by a proper
name.
- When en is used in user language lang="" should output en-US as oourut 'en'
i18n is en-US.
- When the content lang is 'en' we should respect this as we don't know what
locale the wiki's content actually uses, and lang="" for content should output
'en'.
- When a users' preference is set to flat 'en' the preferences list should have
the 'en-US' entry as the selected entry.
