Description Eugene Zelenko 2006-05-27 18:49:55 UTC
We need to add option for switching between variants of Belarusian spellings
(official and classic) into user preferences. Current translations are on
classic spelling, so it should be default for compatibility.

This option could affect namespaces, system messages and project name
($wgMetaNamespace and SITENAME), quickbar settings, skin names.

There is no trivial algorithm for converting official spelling to classic and
back, so automatic conversion should not be implemented. System messages will be
located in different files.

I see only one trivial task: to add aliases magic words on official spelling.

This is only problem definition; solution will require more communication and
discussions.

Thank you for help.

I tried to implement namespace aliases (based on LanguageSk.php. I also added
variants for QuickbarSettings and SkinNames.

Official spelling variant of MessagesBe.php (version 15879)

Complement text in Names.php:

'be-of' => 'афіцыйны правапіс',    # Belarusian. Official
spelling

Complement text in Names.php:

If language variant names could be more then 2 characters long, will be good
idea to replace of with official.

Fake converter still need to be implemented for allowing choosing variants.

Applied to r16711.
Comment 6 Eugene Zelenko 2006-09-30 21:16:04 UTC
Please revert latest SVN changes in LanguageBe.php and MessageBe.php.

Whole point of this patch was to introduce 2 different messages file. At least
now namespaces will be broken on BE:WP.

Please communicate with me to discuss implementation.

Thank you.
Comment 7 Jimmy Collins 2006-09-30 21:29:02 UTC
Done in r16712.

Should be named MessagesBe_of.php
Comment 9 Raimond Spekking 2007-04-13 07:33:07 UTC
After splitting the belarussian Wikipedia into be and be-x-old we have
MessagesBe.php and MessagesBe_x_old.php (see r20950, r20951 and r21223) now. 

I assume we need a reworking of LanguageBe.php too. To be consistent I have
duplicated LanguageBe_x_old.php to LanguageBe.php (r21224). If necessary please
provide a patch to correct possible errors in this. Thank you.
Comment 10 Eugene Zelenko 2007-04-13 13:38:10 UTC
Should be fine. Thank you.
