When a user has their preferences set to use a language other than the default for the wiki, namespace names are translated into their language. However, this means that the local namespace names for, e.g images, are not used, which causes problems. This was reported by a user in IRC: Enderos-> well it's obvious isn't it, namespaces are translated but the wiki can have only 1 namespace for it (default english) thus it don't work Enderos-> like image = afbeelding in dutch Enderos-> when you press the image button when editing using the dutch translation, it puts a [[Afbeelding:blaat.gif]] but that doesn't work because the wiki uses the english [[Image:blaat.gif]] namespace
Solution to the problem as reported, therefore - tweak the PHP that generates the JS which produces the editing toolbar so that it always uses the local wiki's language, not the user's language.
Just use {{ns:Image}} in the message, yes?
Problem is that we used $wgLang instead of $wgContLang for namespace resolution. Fixed in HEAD and 1.5, will be in 1.5.6.
