The page http://ksh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Spezialseiten currently shows the link to the boardvote extension like this: Waahle för_t „<span lang="en">Wikimedia Board of Trustees</span>“ (De forantwochtlijje Füürshtändt bëij Wikkimedija) which is not what was intended. Since the "Wikimedia Board of Trustees" is given verbatim, untranslated, it needs to be properly tagged as English text. That would not be a problem, if the <span> and </span> tags were passed through the message handler unmolested.
Some notes: 1) We do not generally allow html nor wiki mark-up in link titles. 2) There is not much point marking the languages with such granularity when we don't even get the big things right (like interface language different from the content language)
LATER.
1) We do not generally allow html nor wiki mark-up in link titles. -- which is generally a bug. Thats why I reported it. I know that there are lots of problems with &nsbp;s at various places, etc. Imho, we should generally drop this limitation, and maybe make exceptions where they are really warranted. 2) There is not much point marking the languages with such granularity when we don't even get the big things right (like interface language different from the content language) -- What a ridiculos argument! We can NOW fix one small problem easily, so let us do it now. There is no point in letting the mess grow.
To reporter: it appears you will have to fix it yourself, as no other i18n developers have shown interest.
