I use French language settings on the Czech Wikipedia. I moved one page to another on the Czech Wikipedia (http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bazilika_Sacr%C3%A9-Coeur&diff=prev&oldid=356092). In the Last changes edit summary the description of the deplacement was not in Czech - as ever - but according to my client settings in French. ((Bazilika Sacré-Coeur déplacé vers Bazilika Sacré-Cœur (redirect): presunuti) In my contributions (http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Contributions/Macronyx) the note is in Czech as ever.

Hallo Augustin! This is a conterpart for 'Special:Recentchanges' like Bug 2273: logs should use the default language and should not depend on the selected user interface was for 'Special:Recentchanges'. First I thaught the cause of the behaviour you are describing is that the events / records have a different type. a) 'Special:Log' deals with log events which change depending in the selected user interface / according fo uselang=foo: http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type=move&user=&page=Bazilika+Sacr%C3%A9-Coeur&uselang=cs http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type=move&user=&page=Bazilika+Sacr%C3%A9-Coeur&uselang=fr This is fixed. b) 'Special:Contributions' deals with page / revision summaries which contain similar information (here the move details) in the content language only. This is not bug 2273. http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Contributions/Macronyx?uselang=cs http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Contributions/Macronyx?uselang=fr c) *But* 'Special:Recentchanges' displays the log type events *only* in the language used by the contributor. http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges?uselang=en http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges?uselang=fr *note* not testes how other log events are displayed at 'Special:Recentchanges'. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
(c) is also a problem for the IRC feed at irc.wikimedia.org and causes a problem if trying to parse those messages, since the messages will be in the perference language of the user rather than the default language of the wiki. I notice includes/LogPage.php in function actionText contains a FIXME suggesting the content language should be used, however I think that would also change the messages in the Special:Log/ views. The function probably needs to have a forcontent parameter of it's own, such that the call to it when generating the recentchanges log would be true and hence would always be in the content language, whilst the other calls would remain as they are to retain viewing of Special:Log in the users selected language.
Programmatic log events may indeed be shown in the local language, that's not a problem but rather is part of the UI.
