Adding Special:MyLanguage on the foundationwiki will not achieve the
feature you want: this special page redirects to the user language (of the
user preferences), and nobody in the public has an account on this wiki,
so everyone will be redirected to the English page (try on Meta with a
private tab after setting the browser default language to 'de' or
whatever).
This feature can be found in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LanguageSelector and I’m not sure
if it can be achieved with ULS (but I think such a feature would be great
in core).

The specific need is that I want to set the 'Mobile-frontend-terms-url'
message to
'//m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Terms_of_Use'
via the WikimediaMessages extension, so that people clicking the 'Terms
of
Use' link at the bottom of the page will get sent to the Terms of Use in
their own language. Right now, wiki administrators have to override this
message locally to point to the correct translation (after checking to
see
if it actually exists).
(Added this information to the bug as well.)

Hi.
I read your post and
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44871#c19> and still
can't
figure out what Kaldari wants to do. Can someone explain why
Special:MyLanguage is needed on wikimediafoundation.org?
I'm also a little confused about the reference to "Extension:Collection"
in the subject line. Did you mean "Extension:Translate"? (Also, its. :P)
Putting "Special:MyLanguage"-type functionality in MediaWiki core seems
fine to me. It just maps a user's language preference to a language code
subpage, right? So "Special:MyLanguage/Foo" for someone who's specified
that she speaks Spanish would redirect to "Foo/es".
