Assigning tags to extension messages

Hi,

I have an extension (a skin, actually, but functionally it's exactly
the same) which makes use of system messages to allow administrators
to add extra content to some areas of wiki pages. So by default the
messages are empty, and should never be translated.

You can see this in the Erudite.i18n.php change at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/62623/

I would like to mark these messages as not to be translated.
It looks like one can do this within the mediawiki core using tags;
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Group_configuration#TAGS

But I can't see an equivalent method for extensions. Does such a
thing exist? I plan to mention in the 'qqq' entries that they
shouldn't be translated, but it would be nice if they could be
tagged so they weren't shown in the translation interface at all.

If no such mechanism exists, what would be the best way of adding
it? Using message documentation templates, or adding the possibility
of something like a local mediawiki-defines.txt file for extensions?

I don't know the i18n code very well, so perhaps there is a
perfectly good solution I am missing.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

I18n deployment 2013-05-07

When: Tuesday 2013-05-07 08:00 UTC
What:
* Run refresh-translatable-pages.php for remaining WMF wikis using
Translate extension (mediawiki and meta were done last week).
* Enable ULS for anonymous users without language selection. This
brings web fonts and input methods to anonymous users on wikis which
have ULS (meta, mediawiki, wikidata and couple of others). Tehnically:
$wgULSEnableAnon is replaced with $wgULSAnonCanChangeLanguage.

Provide genitive month names via mediawiki.language.monthNames

Hello guys.

Could someone review the patch[1] providing genitive month names via mw.language? Previously, another patch[2] was supplied for merge by Gerrit that is dependent on my patch. The second patch fixes table sorting for date columns in several languages which use genetive month names (like the Slavic family) and is actually very relevant.

Thank you in advance!

I18n deployment 2013-04-30

The next i18n deployment window is on Tuesday 2013-04-30 starting at 08:00 UTC.

For bug 46716 [1] we will run a script refresh-translatable-pages.php
for all wikis using the Translate extension. It will ensure that all
translation pages will be up to date. As a side effect, it will also
remove any fuzzy/outdated translations still left in translation pages
(many of those have already been removed due to updates triggered by
translation edits).

Potential real fix for bug 46716, will get deployed along with
1.22wmf3 [2] as well as the fix for bug 47178 [3]. This bug caused a
lot of unnecessary invalidation of translations, contributing to the
many complaints about the new way of handling outdated translations.
See [4].

Re: [Commons-l] Enabling the Translate and UniversalLanguageSelector extensions on Commons

Hi,

I'd like to start a discussion about the merits and challenges of
enabling the Translate and UniversalLanguageSelector extensions on
Commons.

The UniversalLanguageSelector extension (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector )
allows users to easily switch the interface language; it also embeds
an interface to enter text in non-Latin languages even if your
keyboard doesn't allow it.

My feeling is that both these tools would dramatically improve the
user experience on Commons for people who don't use English. As a
multilingual wiki, Commons even seems like the perfect audience for
these tools.

in order to discuss the possible issues, then gain community consensus and hopefully get ULS enabled on Wikimedia Commons

(I thought it was better to leave  the question of the Translate extension to another discussion, as there seems to be more hurdles with the transition).

Thanks,
--
