The reason for manipulating data is to enter "yes" instead of "true"? Please remind that we don't want change any sense! You know that all here is text and you also know that this is not about converting or encoding. Drop it!

Validator allows a bunch of values for boolean parameters, for example yes/no, on/off, but not true/false actually, might make sense to include this as well. Perhaps also show/hide while we're at it.

Yeah, we can add those. The boolean type was never fully implemented so far anyway - if you have on/off, you ought to consider internationalizing these as well :)

One more todo for 0.5.

I want to suggest to keep it simple! The attribute can be named SwitchOn the values are true/false.

| SwitchOn=true}}

Furthermore you could handle it with 1 and 0 but than there were no new datatype - Ooh

Anyway you can implement what you want, but if there is no additional benefit it is just absurd...

So you are saying i18n is absurd? I know some people that might eat you alive for that :)

LOL we had learned english and can understand each other, or not?

You want an artificial language in several versions!

You can't naturally expect that all authors of some wiki understand English if it isn't their native language. So it makes sense for parser functions/templates which are intended for usage by authors directly to offer parameters in their native language.
