On Special:MergeAccount, the Name of the WikiGroup is currently given as the one Listed as the one given in MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname instead of the one in int:Centralauth-groupname. Due to that, it will be always in the language of the Wiki Installation instead of the user-selected locale.
Not so, I've just opened Special:MergeAccount from hi.wikipedia.org, with my locale selected as the Hindi Language / Devanagari script, and the whole page is in Hindi. If the language of the installation was being overridden, it would come up in English, no?
Created attachment 8790 [details] Image of Special:MergeAccount on hi.wikipedia.org taken with Ksnapshot This is the Special:MergeAccount page from hi.wikipedia.org, note I have my local language set to Hindi, and the page is appearing IN Hindi, not in the language of the Wiki Installation.
Created attachment 8791 [details] And a screenshot of Special:MergeAccount from hi.wikipedia.org with my locale pref set to en-GB This one is with the prefs set to English-GB for my local language. It's working fine :)
Well, go to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Benutzerkonten_zusammenf%C3%BChren (which is where Special:MergeAccount leads on de.) with a en locale. You will find this: Once your login is unified, you will be able to log in to any wiki site of der Wikimedia Foundation without creating a new account. (notice the "of der Wikimedia Foundation" there. Should be "of the", shouldn't it? ;)) Got the same issue on another, private wiki, which has a German installation too, so it might be specific to this?
I think it possibly is. I'll file a request for the localisation to be looked at, it's possibly just a mistake in the localisation for the german language version. Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on.
@Thor: on your wiki its different - compare 'centralauth-merge-welcome' in your language here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.i18n.php In the english and german version there is {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}} included in the message - that directs to the installation language of your wiki, not to the local pref language like in {{int:Centralauth-groupname}}. These are the messages with the (same) bug: centralauth-desc centralauth-merge-welcome centralauth-complete-text centralauth-incomplete-text
This issue seems to be fixed, but I found another issue :)
I disagree http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.i18n.php it's still the same...
You have to be more specific than "it". I guess this is about {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}} in centralauth-merge-welcome, right?
I refered to my previous comment: > These are the messages with the (same) bug: > centralauth-desc > centralauth-merge-welcome > centralauth-complete-text > centralauth-incomplete-text In those it is {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}}, but in my opinion it should be {{int:Centralauth-groupname}} Centralauth-groupname contains language-specific text (i.e. "the" in English, "der" in German) and should therefore be used with "int:" instead od "MediaWiki:". The Problem occurs, if for example I am using a German wiki with user-language set to English and vince-versa. With "MediaWiki:" it is replaced with the language of the wiki instead of the user-language.
Fixed in r97168
