Description Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-17 09:29:46 UTC
On for instance the fy and the ht Wikipedia, usage of the Haitian Babel extension information shows up in French, the fall back language. The localisations are available at translatewiki.net . It was localised in 2008 !!
Comment 1 p858snake 2012-01-17 09:31:36 UTC
Do they perhaps by any chance have templates overriding the messages?
Comment 2 Sam Reed (reedy) 2012-01-17 14:01:38 UTC
Not sure if LU is at fault
Comment 3 Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-17 19:51:18 UTC
Templates no longer override the definitions in the Babel extension. Furthermore it is the French fall back that shows not something in Haitian.

Given that we have the localisations at twn and we do not have them in for instance the fy.wikipedia and the ht.wikipedia it cannot be a matter of a local override.
Thanks,
    Gerard
Comment 4 Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-18 10:38:29 UTC
I found that the localisations for Babel on the Javanese jv Wikipedia do show in the fall back language as well. These are also well established localisations.
Thanks,
     GerardM

NB I upped the severity to major because it impacts multiple languages who have fall back languages.
Comment 5 Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-20 14:52:41 UTC
the Lingala (ln) language is also suffering from this it shows French in stead of Lingala
Thanks,
    Gerard
Comment 6 Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-22 19:22:49 UTC
Malagasy mg shows French and was localised in 2009
Comment 7 Robin Pepermans (SPQRobin) 2012-01-22 19:41:48 UTC
It was also reported for Võro which falls back to Estonion, so it is definitely a general problem for languages that have a fallback.
Comment 8 Gerard Meijssen 2012-01-30 15:16:43 UTC
Another language with missing Babel translations .. myv - Erzya
Thanks,

Comment 9 Gerard Meijssen 2012-02-01 20:33:44 UTC

Thanks,

Comment 10 Robin Pepermans (SPQRobin) 2012-02-01 20:38:01 UTC
It's clear that it's a systematic problem for all languages which have a fallback language.
Comment 11 Roan Kattouw 2012-02-02 12:17:46 UTC
Confirmed: https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itilizat%C3%A8:Catrope shows "Informations Babel sur l’utilisateur" which is the 'babel' message in fr. The ht message is "Enfòmasyon sou itilizatè Babel".

Investigating.

Fixed now with a live hack, see that page. I'll commit the fix properly once I sort out this zero disk space issue on the scalers.

Some manifestations of this bug may stick around due to caching. In particular, Babel boxes may still show messages from the fallback language until the page they're on is edited. A purge or a null edit should fix this.
Comment 13 Roan Kattouw 2012-02-02 14:19:36 UTC
Fixed in r110568.
