The VoteNY extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VoteNY) has 11 internationalization messages, of which 8 are prefixed with voteny- (extension name in lowercase and a hyphen, as the convention has been to avoid conflicts with core or other extensions) and one is prefixed right- (the user right message) and two have no prefix/have their own prefix (the special page messages). Since 4 September 2012, translatewiki.net localization commits have omitted the voteny- prefix (see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/VoteNY.git;a=commitdiff;h=301eced593c0e32d4c5ca8a6e82c86de8f205497) and effectively the user interface of the extension has been somewhat "broken" for non-English languages since that very date, too, as localization hasn't been available despite the messages existing on the .i18n.php file.
In https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=translatewiki.git;a=blob;f=groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-defines.txt;h=8d60269a10cd7131129a4b4a6751456b7ea724eb;hb=HEAD I see 1530 Vote NY 1531 file = VoteNY/Vote.i18n.php 1532 prefix = voteny- | right-vote but then we have a similar syntax at 1633 Wikimedia Messages [...] 1642 prefix = wmf- | sidebar, grouppage-Staff, group-Staff, group-Staff-member 1643 prefix = wmf- | group-patroller, group-patroller-member, grouppage-patroller and here I got lost because I can't make sense out of it.
It strips the voteny- prefix regardless if it was there in the first place.
