Hello, we have a running Mediawiki in German language (de). Now we need to translate it into English(en). So I installed the Translation extension. But when I want to translate an article it seems to ignore the Default language[1]: If I Mark an (de)Article for translation and go to title=Spezial:Translate&group=page|test&language=en then there are no untranslated parts. Which is wrong because the site was in German. On the other side title=Spezial:Translate&task=untranslated&group=page|I18n+test&language=de shows all the german parts as "not translated". Which is just as wrong. Translate Should use the Default (wgLanguageCode) to determine the basic Language, or there should be an Option per Page to set the origin language. P.S. is there any workaround to avoid the false behavior? with kind regards Harald [1] grep 'wgLanguageCode' LocalSettings.php //$wgLanguageCode = "de"; $wgLanguageCode = "De"; (I tried both versions, no difference)
The inherent assumption that English is the source language is evident in many places. This can be fixed but it will take some effort. You can join us at IRC on #mediawiki-i18n in FreeNode or at http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support and tell us how do you want to use this extensions. We can provide you better support and make the Translate extension better when we know the needs of our users.
I improved your patch further, please text r91796. Thank you.
