Description ChrisiPK 2009-03-19 13:33:41 UTC 
#time provides a way to format a date according to one's own wishes, but it uses the site language for output instead of the interface language. As link tables etc. don't seem to be a serious issue (e.g. on Bug 14404), I don't see why we should not deliver the localizable part in the user's interface language.
Comment 1 Niklas Laxström 2009-03-19 13:46:32 UTC 
Link table coherence is an issue. Thus that we already have thing X doesn't mean that we want to add thing Y. This could be possible in (real) interface messages, but as I can see it it would change existing behaviour – that is not good. On the other hand we have already things which can change link table from parse to parse, for example the time related magic words.

A whole separate issue is whether mixing content and user interface elements it a good idea.
Comment 2 Ryan Kaldari 2012-01-07 04:58:36 UTC 
Using the user's interface language would still cause lots of cache fragmentation. Marking WONTFIX.
