Talk:Internationalisation wishlist 2017

Multilingual SMW

 * ''See also Multilingual SemanticMediaWiki

Semantic MediaWiki is cool, but it would be even cooler if it was multilingual-cabable out of the box. Integrate it with Translate extension.

Multilingual search
The portal of each project, like wikipedia.org, should have a multilingual search, automatically returning results in the most relevant language; see also bug 1837. Such multilingual search could then be expanded to Special:Search of each wiki and triggered either automatically, or as fallback (see also above), or as another option/profile/whatever.

Wiki page translation advanced issues
Though mentioned in other points, people have specifically requested help for easy handling of multilingual categories and templates with Translate page translation. Would help with: Page translation migration/adoption tools, Multilingual Commons, MediaWiki multilingual documentation.

Complex message parameters
Currently using things like external links in messages is cumbersome. I propose we make a generic framework which allows writing translations, part of which are embedded inside the replacements itself, without resorting to lego or complicated markup in the messages. See 31032.

Language selection for anonymous users
Users of Wikimedia wikis need to register to change language. They should be able to change the interface language as well.
