relevant patch file

Attached:

Applied with r23545.

Please note, you are adding always a BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark ) with your patches. This is evil!

You can use this bug for more patches. Reopen it after adding a new attachment.

Raimond, is this BOM added to the beginning of the file? How can I avoid that then? (I'm using Notepad as my editor, does it have anything to do with that problem?)

All-messages translation

I created a new patch for a new message being translated. I found that a BOM is added just before the <?php and removed it by hand this time. Let me know if this patch works without errors.

attachment diff.diff ignored as obsolete

Actually, I found out this is a notepad problem. For future reference: http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200106/msg00389.html

All-messages translation

This is still the English text... Where is the translation?

Pity. I must have made a mistake in choosing which file to upload. I have now attached a new patch file.

Applied with r24018.

Please note:

'watchlistedit-clear-confirm' was an empty string, I have removed this line from the patch.

Please try to add the missing variables with your next patch too:

20 messages of 1600 in fa don't use some variables while en uses them:

• pagecategories
• noconnect
• cascadeprotected
• passwordremindertext
• blockedtext
• whitelistedittext
• copyrightwarning
• cascadeprotectedwarning
• revdelete-selected
• logdelete-selected
• logdelete-logaction
• noexactmatch
• rcnote
• sitestatstext
• userstatstext
• exbeforeblank
• protect-cascadeon
• whatlinkshere-prev
• whatlinkshere-next
• confirmemail_sendfailed

Thanks a lot for your work!

Containst the missing watchlistedit seris message

Please find the messing translation of watchlistedit, in this new patch.

Attached:

For record, as I have discussed with Raimond on the MediaWiki-General IRC, some of the messages which use the {{plural variable in the English messages file, are always singular words in Persian (due to grammatic differences) and wouldn't need the use of a variable in the Fa messages file. However, I will recheck them, and also try my best to translate {{plural to Persian.

I think that is the plural word is the same as the sigular word, we can make the message by "{{PLURAL:$1|text|text}}". To let the checker know the variable $1 is used, and not showing that there's having the problem in the messages.

Missing variables fiexed

In this patch, I fixed all those messages which were missing variables. I added PLURAL in some places as well. In some cases, the message is the same with a singular or a plural variable value, but I added the PLURAL to keep the checkLanguage results clean.

Com'on! I do checkLangauge every now and then myself! But I really need some time to discuss with my contacts about the best translation for some of these jargons like "Plantar Configuration" or "TrackBack" ... :)

Translation of several new messages

I have again translated several new messages, and removed the depricated ones. You need to perform rebuildLanguage too.
