Spun off form bug 34219 It would seem for cases like PT, there is a base language file, and then some variant (is that the right word?) overrides for PT itself, and for pt-br Not using the base pt.xml means that the Language name list for Portuguese is very sparse in it's entries, as it only contains the "overrides", not including the base data It wouldn't surprise me if this is also the case for other languages (In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #3) > > For your information, the language names are taken from CLDR, which contains > > relatively few language names for Portuguese: > > http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/cldr/CldrNames/CldrNamesPt.php?view=markup > > I downloaded the core.zip file from CLDR and inside common/main, the pt.xml > file contains more than 500 language names.

Or seemingly the pt-pt hack works for pt-br (1074 lines in the file), but doesn't for vanilla pt (191 lines in file) # hack to get pt-pt too $languages['pt-pt'] = 'Foo';
This should have been fixed when I make the fallback chains of pt and pt-br include each other. CLDR definitely follows fallbacks but the meaning of plain pt code in MediaWiki and CLDR is different.

Is this still an issue?
malafaya: Is this still an issue?
For pt (CldrNamesPt.php), yes. It doesn't include for example 'en' (English) and 'sv' (Swedish). on the other hand, pt-br (CldrNamesPt_br.php) seems quite complete. Maybe the fallback is the other way around?

Maybe the fallback is the other way around? pt and pt-br both fall back to each other on MediaWiki, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_fallback_chains.png That said, I've no idea if it matters. :)
