I'm not sure how to do that, but we should create the logs' fixed text (for example, Deletion Log) in Recent Changes as the site language (wfMsgForContent?) instead of the user's one (wfMsg). Maybe there should be another parameter to the function creates the text (I don't remember its name). For example, if I have an English project, and I select the French language in my preferences and delete a page, the log entry is in the local language for everyone (for example, English) in [[Special:Log/delete]], but always in French in [[Special:Recentchanges]]. Maybe we cannot change the entry by setting language for ourselves in the site (I mean, it will always be in English), but it should be in the site's language. I would like to create a patch, maybe that will make the bug report clear.
Do you mean the log entry or the default comment text?

Thanks Rotem Liss for planning a patch about this complex topic! As I understand 'special:Recentchanges' there are different fields that belong to log events: - the ones that can and *should* be localised when 'special:Recentchanges?uselang=xx' is used - the ones that are *fields* in the database associated with that log event and may differ from log event to log event; some of these fields are automatically generated "comments"; most of them can not be localized later There are many reports specifying log events in 'special:Recentchanges': Bug 5387: Block log items on RecentChanges don't make use of possible translations Bug 4920: [[Special:Recentchanges]] does not use the content language when displaying log events (as move) *note* bug 4920 should be read carefully; maybe wording is not exactly describing the problem and does not differenciate about what should / could be localized when 'special:Recentchanges?uselang=xx' is used and what not Bug 3615: Blocks of code not handling magic character conversions in Esperanto correcty (as reason for page deletion etc.) That one is mentioning specialities related to Esperanto magic conversion and broken links because of missing or multiple "magic conversion" Good luck! reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] The correspondend bug about 'special:Log' is: Bug 2273: Logs should use the content language and should not depend on the selected user interface
Created attachment 1544 [details] Patch (trunk) The patch changes LogPage:actionText, and differs the status (whether we want to get this text from Special:Log (this means it should be in the user's langauge), or we want to get this text from LogPage:addEntry for storing in the table "recentchanges" and using this in Special:Recentchanges (this means it should be in the site's default language)) by the parameter $skin (used also to check whether we have to use links in the log action text or not). If $skin, we don't get it for content; else, we do. And one more thing: if there are params in array, we cannot use wfMsg or wfMsgForContent, and we have to use wfMsgReal. The reason – wfMsg and wfMsgForContent cannot get an array. So I've deleted the "FIXME" message. The patch actually causes that if a user uses the language X in a site uses the language Y, the log messages in Special:Log will be shown for him in language X (as usual), but his actions documented in Special:Recentchanges as "(Log Name) Action etc." will be in language Y (now in language X). As for another visitor uses language Z, he will see the actions of the user uses language X in Special:Log in language Z, and the actions in Special:Recentchanges in language Y. Patch for REL1_6 is coming soon.
Created attachment 1545 [details] Patch (REL1_6) The same.

By the way, could someone please check in the patch?
