Extension:LocalisationUpdate

The LocalisationUpdate extension allows to update the localizations for MediaWiki messages at any time, without needing to upgrade the MediaWiki software.

Configuration

 * $wgLocalisationUpdateDirectory:

Directory to store cache files in, if not set then it uses default .

LocalisationUpdate requires some place to store files in to work; if neither $wgLocalisationUpdateDirectory nor $wgCacheDirectory is set, LocalisationUpdate's update.php script will not work.

$wgLocalisationUpdateDirectory is set to false by default.


 * $wgLocalisationUpdateRepository:

Default repository source to fetch translation.

Github is set to default repository.

This is added with version 1.1.


 * $wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories:

Array of repositories URLs from which to retrieve localisations for core MediaWiki and extensions.

Default is set to Github's MediaWiki Git repositories and you should not change this unless you know what you're doing. This is added with version 1.1.

Example for using github

$wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories['github'] = array(	'mediawiki' =>		'https://raw.github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/master/%PATH%',	'extension' =>		'https://raw.github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-%NAME%/master/%PATH%',	'skin' =>		'https://raw.github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-%NAME%/master/%PATH%' );

Example for local filesystem configuration

$wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories['local'] = array(	'mediawiki' =>		'file:///resources/projects/mediawiki/master/%PATH%',	'extension' =>		'file:///resources/projects/mediawiki-extensions/extensions/%NAME%/%PATH%',	'skin' =>		'file:///resources/projects/mediawiki-skins/skins/%NAME%/%PATH%' );
