Description Nemo 2012-07-14 16:10:06 UTC
For instance on Wikipedia, where interface doesn't follow content language: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/File:Wikipedia_zh-tw_view.png
And on TWN before login (with zh.tw in preferences): https://translatewiki.net/wiki/File:Translate.net_zh-tw_view.png
I hope I filed this bug correctly, some background is on <https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Talk:Main_Page/Translate.net_Main_page_does_not_show_right_translation_for_zh-tw_users_by_default> (and there are several more related Support threads in the last years, IIRC).

This is probably a duplicate but I couldn't find the correct bug: bug 31838 is unrelated, bug 12521 I don't know and anyway both bug 13463 and bug 8056 (similar) should be fixed.
Comment 1 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2012-07-18 08:36:47 UTC
maybe bug 1495?
Comment 2 Liangent 2012-08-14 18:26:49 UTC
I didn't catch this bug report but knew it before and tried to fix it in Gerrit change #7376.
Comment 3 Liangent 2012-08-14 18:29:54 UTC
Gerrit change #7376. bug 39237.
Comment 4 Liangent 2012-08-14 18:36:12 UTC
This bug should be split into two bugs:

One for the Wikipedia issue, which is causes by the language converter, Gerrit change #7376.
Another for the TWN issue. I assume TWN maintainers just leave those messages in MediaWiki namespace and use them on TWN instead of exporting them to PHP files and use the PHP message files on TWN. If I'm true, it's bug 1495.

Merged, I assume fixed; reopen otherwise.

Indeed this was mentioned as one of the things going to be fixed by bug 1495, whose fix however was reverted and waits reimplementation along the lines set by Niklas in another bug.
