Babel, CLDR and LocalisationUpdates[edit]

  • Only localization updates.

CleanChanges[edit]

  • Bug 58439: Fix Monobook skin by removing extra </div> creating invalid HTML.
  • Localization updates.

Translate[edit]

Noteworthy changes[edit]

  • Translator Sandbox:
    • Translator Sandbox is a feature to simplify the sign-up process for new translators. It can be enabled using "$wgTranslateUseSandbox = true;", but it will only be useful in conjunction with the TwnMainPage, which is not included in MLEB (at least yet).
    • Stash and translator approval pages are now usable.
    • When a user is accepted, a bare-bones user page with a Babel box is created.
  • TUX editor:
    • Bug 53748: Message group related calls were made two order of magnitudes faster, making Special:Translate's group selector, workflow state selector etc. fast enough even on wikis with hundreds or thousands groups.
    • Add useful shortcuts to TUX editor. All buttons to insert/replace text (insertables and then translation aids in order; "discard changes" is skipped) are numbered from 1 up and can be accessed with both alt+<num> and arrow up and down.
    • Update the statusbar at the bottom of the TUX message tables when saving or proofreading.
  • Added support to MediaWiki localisation format from PHP files to JSON files. This is part of the Localization Format RFC ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Localisation_format ).
    • Add support for JSON in mediawiki-defines.txt, allowing the handling of MediaWiki extension that us the new format. Documentation about the updates in MessageGroup configuration can be found at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Group_configuration/MediaWiki
    • Fixed JsonFFS for properly importing and exporting Authors.
    • targetPattern in group configuration is now optional.
    • Migrate the Translate extension itself to JSON based i18n files from PHP files. This change is transparent to all users of extension.
  • Support xliff 1.1 files in addition to xliff 1.2 as well, but without validation.

Breaking changes[edit]

Special:FirstSteps has been removed from Translate. If you want the feature, you'll have to download it separately.

UniversalLanguageSelector[edit]

Noteworthy changes[edit]

  • Initial support for webfonts in MobileFrontend:
    • Currently, support for webfonts in MobileFrontend is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting $wgULSMobileWebfontsEnabled = true; in LocalSettings.php file. Note that, even then it will only be enabled for users who has opted in for the mobile beta mode.
