Description Casey Brown 2009-01-21 20:02:36 UTC 
It would be nice if we could get a fallback language other than English... ie.

* interface set to pt-br, whoops we have no translation in that language => try pt; whoops, still none => go for English
* interface set to zh-tw, no translation :-( => try zh-hant... grr, still none => fine, we'll deal with English ;-)

We could set these fallback languages in the extension's code -- no need for a web interface.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-01-21 20:12:55 UTC 
That's how it's supposed to work already. Fallback languages are defined within MediaWiki's localization framework, and should be handled as such... if they ain't working, it's probably a general MediaWiki problem, not CentralNotice-specific.
Comment 2 Guillaume Paumier 2012-02-13 14:11:44 UTC 
What is the status of this? Does CentralNotice make use of MediaWiki's built-in language fallback feature?
Comment 3 Ryan Kaldari 2012-02-14 20:03:03 UTC 
It appears that messages in banners are not using the language fallback chain. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot this yet, but I imagine the issue is in SpecialBannerLoader::getMessage().
