Good day,

The wiki of whonix.org is using the MediaWiki software, as well as the accompanying language extension bundle with its language selector. However, noone really knows how to use it. And after reading through the guidelines written on the "mediawiki wiki", I still am unable to understand it. As far as I could gather, to translate a page, each section of text needs to be surrounded by the <language> tag. However, doing so simply doesn't work. The tags just appear in the text, as if they would serve no purpose. Also, adding the language selector, by using the <languages /> tag, doesn't work either. Only the homepage, was affected by these changes, however other sites of the forum seem to be unaffected.

If someone would be able to explain, what I'm doing wrong, I would be more than thankful.

Have a nice day,

Good day,

I've just had a nice chat with some on the IRC chat. They recommended I should try copying the contents of a page where it does work on a page where it doesn't, to see, whether it would then work. Sadly, the answer is no. No matter what we do the language selector seems to be weirdly selective (no pun intended) about where it works and where it doesn't.

If someone could help me with this, I would be more than grateful.

Have a nice day.

Did you talk to nikerabbit or siebrand in #mediawiki-i18n about this? I don't have any experience with the language bundle, myself.
