After launching a new wiki based on version 1.5.2, French was selected as the main language for the website but the basic syntax for categories (Catégorie:Nom de la catégorie) and templates (Modèle:Nom du modèle) is unfortunately not working straight out of the box. I then downloaded the latest LanguageFr.php file from Sourceforge and replaced the former, but still no luck. The NAMESPACE seems properly translated at first glance to my amateur eye but I can only vouch for the french part and not for the code itself. I tried to further the System Messages translation process hoping that this would maybe solve the problem but here's what happened. The website still doesn't recognize the french syntax but if I type [[Category:Bug]] it is then properly recognized, and it appears translated at the bottom of the page (Catégorie : Bug). I'll be submitting my patch so that the messages translation work I did isn't completely lost but my knowledge in programming isn't strong enough to fix this by myself. Should someone be interested in working on this with me, I am available for further translation and/or french proofreading. -- Stéphane Thibault

Created attachment 1207 [details] LanguageFr.php translation patch Translated only System Messages. No real work on the code.
Please submit an unified patch , have a look at the translation guide on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_localisation Closing as invalid for now.
Verifying what seems to be missing. Since I translated only the content of the messages I thought the file was complete.
