Hello,
When we click to this link from Bosnian Wiki (https://bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide), we don't go to the bosnian version of help (which exists) but it reverts to English one. Can anybody assist what needs to be done?
Cannot reproduce in Firefox. After setting Bosnian as my language, your link goes to the Bosnian version of help.
What are your Language settings in Special:Preferences ? Are they set to Bosnian?
I tested as unregistered user, to simulate new user clicking the help link. It leads me to again to English site. It is correct that if you set explicitly your language in setting that it will go to correct page. That is not ideal, and it might discourage new users. All computer that I have tried from have Bosnian input settings and other related language settings.
What are your exact language settings in the settings of your web browser?
Are you using the "Special:MyLanguage" link at bs.wikipedia.org? Maybe it would be better to send people straight to the translated subpage (Help:VisualEditor/User guide/bs).
Andre, I don't think that web browser language settings matter. Unless users have intentionally changed their GlobalPrefs, then the second they arrive at mw.org, their language is re-set to English. The default UI language for this wiki is English, even if you are arriving at this wiki by clicking on a link at a wiki in another language.
Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
Whatamidoing, yes, we use "Special:MyLanguage" link. I agree, I will recommend our administrators that they set link in that way. I found out that web browser language made no difference. Another thing is, that most bosnians here, just use software in english language, because they can't find their way if it's translated :)
Thanks for help!
Our sysop asks where exactly he can change this link. Link is located in editing mode, where question mark icon is, and text is "Read the user guide"
The link is defined in "visualeditor-help-link". The translation which is used for all and any MediaWiki users (also outside of Wikimedia sites) who use Bosnian as their language setting is defined and translated in https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:visualeditor-help-link/bs&action=edit and you likely do not want to change that.
MediaWiki allows custom overrides of user interface text on a per-website basis. For the "Bosnian Wikipedia" website, such a custom override would have to be defined in https://bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Visualeditor-help-link
