Description Subhashish Panigrahi 2013-06-21 14:49:11 UTC
While typing in Indic languages using ULS mobile typing follows the logic for English and auto-capitalized each word which produces wrong spelling for the Indic words. This features should be disabled.
Comment 1 Yuvi Panda 2013-06-21 15:23:39 UTC
Uhm, ULS has nothing to do with the Wikipedia app. /me scratches head.

Please provide specific, clear steps to reproduce. This report is way too general to be useful and misses the specific languages tested, the specific websites tested on, browser and version information, operating system information, and steps to reproduce. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug for information and provide the missing information. Thanks.

I have tried to open all the Indic language Wikipedias from my iPhone and this is same across all of them. That's why I have mentioned Indic Wikipedias. Any more specificity needed?

I... am still very confused since the ULS has nothing to do with The Wikipedia app

Thanks Subhashish!
Which exact page/URL is this about, in order to reproduce? (See comment 2)

And pardon my ignorance on Brahmic scripts - is this Odia? Could you provide an example of one incorrect word here, and what should be shown instead?

If you are on the mobile site, ULS is not even enabled, so could you please clarify why you think that ULS has anything do with this?

Hey Andre, This was the page: http://or.wikipedia.org/s/g5e, I took a snapshot while accessing the desktop version and not the mobile version.
Comment 9 Andre Klapper 2013-06-25 10:26:33 UTC
But how do you access the **desktop** version in the Wikipedia App?

I think I reported the bug in the wrong category, please move it to the mobile in the product field. I accessed it using the browser.
Comment 11 Andre Klapper 2013-06-25 10:45:37 UTC
So what are the exact steps to reproduce, step by step, and which exact hardware, browser and browser version is this about?

Also,

I'm afraid if I got your question correctly (What do you mean by "reproduce" for changing webfont). I have tested it on a Mac OS X 10.7.5, Firefox 21.0
Comment 13 Andre Klapper 2013-06-25 13:04:47 UTC
Which hardware is this about? 

By "reproduce" I mean that I would love to see the problem myself, but for that I need good and exact steps to follow, in order to make sure that I do the same that you do. This is still missing. Again, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
Comment 14 Andre Klapper 2013-08-22 14:51:01 UTC
Subhashish: Can you answer comment 13 please?
Comment 15 Brion Vibber 2013-10-30 15:32:17 UTC
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Wikipedia mobile app, which has no editing features so can't produce the screenshot attached up above.

Reassigning to ULS.
Comment 16 Siebrand Mazeland 2013-10-30 16:06:12 UTC
I'm setting this to unconfirmed, and I'm tempted to set it to invalid. I'm missing comprehensive steps to reproduce after 15 comments.
Comment 17 Siebrand Mazeland 2013-11-12 07:30:11 UTC
Setting this to invalid. If there's something substantial remaining, please open a new bug, so we can start with a clean slate.
