Description Daniel Kinzler 2012-08-09 10:15:42 UTC
e.g. when a user who speaks french visits a page without a french label (thus showing a label in a fallback language), show a "provide French translation" link/hint. Same for descriptions.

Requires us to know the user languages.

> Requires us to know the user languages.

It's not so hard to make some educated guesses.

The "Common languages" section in the ULS is built from content language, browser language (available from JS), accept-language (available from the request) and geolocation (languages spoken in different are available in the CLDR), and the user's recently used languages.
Comment 3 Yair Rand 2013-10-08 14:16:49 UTC
Currently, there are both "Enter label" and "Enter description" boxes for all languages listed in a user's babel box. (I'm not certain about this, but I think this was added after this bug was filed.)

From this point, there's not that much more "inviting" that can be done, short of changing the default placeholder value to something more action-prompting or making the boxes without values more noticeable. "Enter label" sounds like good enough invitation itself.
Comment 4 Lydia Pintscher 2013-10-08 21:15:19 UTC
Yeah let's close this. There is another bug for getting the "in other languages" box for all users and not just the ones who have a babel box on their user page.
