Special:MyLanguage is now also defined in core. This results in a clash at e.g. Special:AdvancedTranslate (and most likely also when a user tries to visit Special:MyLanguage). Spotted at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Translation_for_special_page_names
Note that this completely blocks all further l10n of names for Special pages until resolved.
I think there is a working but ugly workaround: 1) Copy all current translations of MyLanguage to core 2) Move all current translations of MyLanguage to separate alias file in Translate to preserve backwards compatibility Since the separate alias file is not up for translation (and should not be added), there is no longer conflict in Special:AdvancedTranslate. Users running old version of MediaWiki would not be getting new translations for MyLanguage until they upgrade, but the impact of that is in my opinion negligible.
Any updates on this bug? Translation of special pages are still effectively locked down.
Included in current language engineering team sprint.
