Translations of "system messages" have disapeared in oc wiki! Default text apears instead of current text! Can you help us?...
*** Bug 8977 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
A number of customized messages appear there. What's actually wrong?
If I Clic on a MediaWiki message, the translation is still in memory... If I validate, the current text is valid again... Must I do it for every messages?
I have corrected all and valid the translations of default textes in http://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Allmessages. Is it possible to valid the current text (in blue color)? Regards
What do you mean by "valid" and "validate"? Blue messages are those that have not been customized. I can confirm that MessagesOc.php as currently in Subversion appears to be loading correctly. If you would like to submit your changes for inclusion in the main message file (which will propagate to any other Occitan projects too), at a minimum you have to give us a list of changes *without* terms like "Wikipedia", custom styles, use of extensions, and other site-specific things: i.e., each message should be a translation of the equivalent *default* English message (with no customizations). We can't just include your changes when they have Wikipedia-specific things like [[oc:MediaWiki:anontalkpagetext]] buried there, which we might not spot. If you would like to maximize your chances of the patch getting reviewed and committed by developers, the best option is (I think) to use BetaWiki: http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/Process. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Localization, checking out via Subversion and creating a unified diff to post.
I began to translate in beta wiki! So, if I undestand well, the betawiki current text of interface appears in blue in the Wiki... Is it that?
Once you have a good translation, you can ask for it to be added to the software, yes. That will make the uncustomized messages blue. Site-specific messages will have to be customized and so will not be blue. This is the intended behavior.
Where must I ask for it?
Ask Nikerabbit, presumably. See: http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/Translating:Intro and links from there. Do NOT make any customizations to the meaning of the messages. Translate them EXACTLY from English. Also, do NOT use extensions such as {{#if:}} and friends. These translations are bad: http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/J%C3%A4rjestelm%C3%A4viesti:Semiprotectedpagewarning/oc http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/J%C3%A4rjestelm%C3%A4viesti:Monobook.js/oc Those are good to have on oc.wikipedia.org, but they should not be the default (blue), they should be custom (green/red). Other translations seem good so far. When you want your updates to be committed, ask: http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/User_talk:Nike
Ok! It's done! Thanks a lot! ~~~~
Seems to be fixes with r20146.
