The items defined in $wgBlockExpiryOptions should be localizable like other strings, they're currently hardcoded in SpecialBlockip.php. Perhaps something like this could be used: <option value="1 Day">1. Tag</option>
The values are gathered from $wgBlockExpiryOption and later passed to strtotime(). According to the PHP documentation, the function only accept english text. We could change the form and let the user choose a date instead. Eventually we can have a javascript that reuse the $wgBlockExpiryOption value so a user can fastly set the date. Then the function will grab the posted date, convert it to a timestamp and insert that in the database.
After 1.5beta1, $wgBlockExpiryOptions was removed. The 'ipboptions' message is now used.

it is now possible to translate these via MediaWiki:Ipboptions. specify a comma-separated list of "local:english,local:english,..." strings.
(In reply to comment #4) > it is now possible to translate these via MediaWiki:Ipboptions. specify a > comma-separated list of "local:english,local:english,..." strings. They work fine, but the "other" option cannot be translated (or it does not work), because the option value (not only its interface presentation) is localized in some places.
Created attachment 726 [details] A simple fix for the issue with "other" expiry time The attached patch might solve the problem (untested).
The requested functionality seems to be working now fine. Closing bug.
