Hi, I am an admin in the Bengali language wiki (http://bn.wikipedia.org ). Most of it has been localized to render in Bengali language, but the timestamps still are showing up in English. For example, here is a timestamp from this diff http://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0_%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE&curid=2684&diff=13365&oldid=13364 The time stamp shows up as follows: 20:31, ২১ এপ্রিল ২০০৬ তারিখের সংশোধন Note that, the date shows up in Bengali numerals, but the time 20:31, shows up in English numerals. It should have rendered like this: ২০:৩১, ২১ এপ্রিল ২০০৬ তারিখের সংশোধন i.e. the time 20:31 should have been rendered in Bangla numerals as ২০:৩১ Thanks Ragib
Hallo! Please note that this behaviour can be seen also at [[fa:special:Recentchanges]], [[hi:special:Recentchanges]] (etc.). [[bm:special:Preferences]] does not provide a "#prefsection-4" to select different "Date formats". [[fa:special:Preferences]], [[hi:special:Preferences]] provide more options for "Date format" but none showing the *time* with localized numerals. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] references http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/LanguageBn.php?view=markup http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/LanguageFa.php?view=markup http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/LanguageHi.php?view=markup (etc.)
Patched bn: hi: fa: languages files so they do the translation when calling dateandtime(). See trunk@13908 , not in REL1_6 as I am not sure its really the way to do it. Will be in 1.7.0 unless someone backport it.
The following languages are also using "local" numerals: Gujarati (gu:) Punjabi (pa:)
Also Kannada (kn:)
Also Assamese (as:)
Patched Language::time() to use transformed numbers if possible.
*note* Malayalam (ml:) [[ml:template:wikivar]] [[ml:special:Recentchanges]] Telugu (te:) [[te:template:wikivar]] [[te:special:Recentchanges]] do not show localized numbers *but* http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/special:Recentchanges?uselang=ml http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/special:Recentchanges?uselang=te do. Please reopen this report or a new report if this does not change within one week. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
*note* Beside the languages mentioned above other languages are using numerals which are *homoglyphes* to the numerals in the basic Latin Unicode block such languages are: Tibetan (bo:) [[bo:ser:Gangleri/bugzilla/05679]] Oriya (or:) [[or:ser:Gangleri/bugzilla/05679]] see complete list of languages using function digitTransformTable() at http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/user:Gangleri/Unicode/character_test
