Description Arjanizary 2012-12-21 14:56:37 UTC
South Azerbaijani (azb)'s fallback language is English but in some cases it changes to Persian. Look [http://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&testwiki=Wp/azb] The (شما در حال مشاهدهٔ کاربرانی هستید که ترجیح ویکی آزمایشی خود به Wp/azb تنظیم کرده‌اند.) is persian not South Azerbaijani. If the fallback language is Persian it makes finding and translating that entry to South Azerbaijani difficult.
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2012-12-21 15:08:22 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this!

[Moving to "Wikimedia" product as this request is about settings / configuration of the website, not about the codebase of the Incubator extension.]
Comment 2 Dereckson 2012-12-21 15:09:56 UTC
Adding SPQRobin as cc.
Comment 3 Robin Pepermans (SPQRobin) 2012-12-23 20:08:22 UTC
This is not site configuration; this would just need removing fallback = 'fa' from MessagesAzb.php.
Comment 4 Nemo 2012-12-23 20:30:05 UTC
Yes, as Robin says Persian is a fallback language so this is expected behaviour: there's no bug so this report can be considered invalid.

I don't understand if you're asking to remove Persian from fallbacks, but if you want to do so this is not a valid reason: our aim is to provide users with the best available option for them to understand the interface; for translating you have to use the tools for translators.
If there's a valid reason to remove Persian from fallbacks, please file another bug, with some explanation of the reason and if possible some consensus; if you have questions on how to translate things, you can ask me or anyone else at translatewiki.net. Thanks.
Comment 5 Arjanizary 2012-12-23 22:18:50 UTC
So the only solution is to translate the Persian(fa) sentences to South Azerbaijani(azb). TX.
Comment 6 Dereckson 2012-12-23 22:28:48 UTC
It would be interested if you give us indications about knowledge of English and Persian among Azerbaijani native speakers.
Comment 7 Dereckson 2012-12-23 22:29:01 UTC
It would be interesting if you could give us indications about knowledge of English and Persian among Azerbaijani native speakers.
Comment 8 Robin Pepermans (SPQRobin) 2012-12-23 22:38:54 UTC
Btw, Arjanizary, for your information, you can use uselang=qqx to find the message:

For example on http://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&testwiki=Wp/azb you can use http://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&testwiki=Wp/azb&uselang=qxx  (add &uselang=qqx to the URL), then you see "wminc-listusers-testwiki" on the place where you saw the Persian text. That means you can translate it at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Wminc-listusers-testwiki/azb
Comment 9 Robin Pepermans (SPQRobin) 2012-12-23 22:39:57 UTC
(Whoops, the example URL is of course supposed to be http://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&testwiki=Wp/azb&uselang=qqx )
