Description Purodha Blissenbach 2013-05-20 12:26:29 UTC 
In message MediaWiki:Logentry-translationreview-group/ksh, we should have an adjective version of language names. The wording, e.g. "French translation" is much preferred over "translation to French" in this context, but we do not have a way currently to compute adjectives from language codes.
Comment 1 Niklas Laxström 2013-05-20 12:36:15 UTC 
Sounds like {{GRAMMAR}} to me.

> Sounds like {{GRAMMAR}} to me.

Meaning that you would create a database of name->adjective conversion in the grammar rules (which seems CLDR job)? Or that you'd support it only for languages where this is just an inflection issue with some universal rules?
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2013-05-21 07:20:38 UTC 
What is requested here is highly language specific, those things usually belong to {{GRAMMAR}} or are not done at all in favor of coming with language independent solution.
