Can we please have the interface language zh-min-nan as the default language for the zh-min-nan website? Cheers.
Yes, you can. Go to http://zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages and translate all the messages. (You have to be admin to be able to edit those messages) Us developpers not speaking Chinese, we are sorry that we can't assist you in doing so. Once you're done with translating it, we can generate a Language file from your translations and include it into the mediawiki source code. Reopen this bug when you are done.
Thanks for the reply. Actually virtually all messages that could have been translated were translated. (Some maintenence strings were left untranslated as a convenience to other-language editors.) Now that 1.4b is live, of course, we've got more strings, many of which (but not yet all) have been translated. Since this is more than a quality-of-life issue -- some of us not being English users -- we'll definitely get the rest translated soon.
A-giau, I thought you translated most of these before the upgrade? Are the translations lost forever?

Sorry for not making myself clear enough the first time round. Consider the following: 0) I am a user who has registered and set my "interface language" option to "zh-min-nan" in the preferences. 1) I go to http://zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org/ and find the interface to be in English. 2) I log in, and find the interface to be in zh-min-nan. 3) I log out, and return to the situation in (1). Is it not possible to make the interface language in (1) and (3) the same as that in (2), namely, zh-min-nan? How does MediaWiki get its messages in zh-min-nan in situation (2)? Thanks.

No. But I can confirm that as of today it is *sometimes* not possible to switch languages while logged in (this is after trying to clear the browser cache). While you're stuck in English, I was stuck in zh-min-nan. Either this functionality (or cache?) is unexpectedly broken or the devs have been tinkering with it. Just now... Logging out reverts the language to English. Logging in again brings about the last selected interface (de). But the layout is now Classic. After re-selecting zh-min-nan and Monobook, I was able to obtain both -- this time. See also: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1260
This seems to have been solved. Can someone else confirm?
The problem (see comment#4) no longer occurs. That's great.
