Hi!
TL;DR: The user interface localization of the WikiEditor extension needs an
update. Please check the state of your language at
, and if the "Completion" for your language shows anything less than 100%,
please complete the translation.
More details:
The WikiEditor extension is the most commonly used interface for editing
wiki pages in wikitext ("edit source") on all Wikimedia wikis. For many
years, there was a technical issue with localizing it: for security
reasons, many of its messages could be translated only by administrators.
This issue has recently been fixed by Jon Harald Søby (thanks!). Now all of
it can be translated by all translatewiki translators.
In addition, several messages that had complex and repetitive HTML code
have been simplified as part of this update, and now it's generally easier
to translate them.
Because of all these technical updates, the translation of the extension
needs to be updated. Usually such things don't warrant a special
announcement, but given that WikiEditor is such a central and prominent
component in the editing experience, I think it's justified this time.
I recommend that experienced wiki editors who can write in languages other
than English go to
, check the "Completion" column for their language, and if it's not 100%,
complete it.
According to the usual deployment schedule, all the translations that will
be done before Monday morning (UTC) will be deployed between July 11 and
July 13.
If any technical support is necessary with using translatewiki, I'm happy
to help.
Thanks again to Jon Harald for fixing this old bug, and thanks in advance
to all the wonderful volunteer translators!
If you're curious about the technical details behind this bug, see:
