(Solved) Description is terrible
The description is terrible and needs to be rewritten so the average user can understand what this extension does. What the hell is "in-wiki localisation"? Odessaukrain 01:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Best visit and read around a bit. It's great stuff ;) Siebrand 21:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. I've been browsing this page for half an hour and still don't know what it really does. wtf. --77.118.160.76 18:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Updated.

(Solved) Own extensions
Well, it works, but how it works with extensions? I have a media.i18n.php in the folder extensions with the known structure: $allMessages = array(	'en' => array( 'media_title'			=> 'Title', 'media_author'			=> 'Author', ... How can I use the Extension:Translate to display/translate their messages? --Jostar 08:41, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Use the standard i18n format and see the configuration documentation about MediaWiki extension groups. – Nikerabbit 08:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Some questions
We maybe want to use MediaWiki and this extension to translate some of our software products. Therefore I have some questions:


 * 1) The result of an export from the wiki are plain text files, that can be configured by templates or something, right?
 * 2) Is there a watchlist for changed translations?
 * 3) What does "outdated" mean and how do you trigger it?
 * 4) Not all translators use English as language to translate from, some want to see  e.g. the German translation. Is there a way to configure the language of the translation source per language?
 * 5) What about length limits of some texts?
 * 6) Can a user be limited to translate only some languages?

Thanks in advance, --Flominator 10:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
