Some things: don't use entities, you can use \' for '.
Do you just want to default to Russian instead of English? In that case you need
to inherit from Russian language and include *only translated parts* in the file.

Sorry I am very new at this. But wouldn't inheriting remove everything except
for translate parts - I actually wanted to keep russian parts as a guidance for
the future improvements... As it stands now, will it work?

The best thing to do, as comment 2 states, would to be inherit from the Russian
language file (which would cause the software to fall back to Russian if a
translated version isn't available) and then override where translations are
available.

This is the accepted standard where one language can be derived from another.

Amended version - inheriting Russian....

Is this version better?

Dear Sharof!

[[uz:special:SiteMatrix#uz]] shows "Ўзбек".
[[uz:Ўзбек]] redirects to [[uz:O‘zbek_tili]].

Should
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/Names.php?view=markup
be changed to reflect that you are using Latin script?

What do you propose? An one script only name or a two script name?


Your {{SITENAME}} is still Wikipedia but you refer to [[uz:Vikipediya]] on the
main page. Would you require the change of the sitenames as well. If so please
open a separate bug / request and specify all sitenames for the Uzbek projects
([[uz:special:SiteMatrix#uz]]).

Dear Reinhardt,

Yes, it would be extremely useful if you changed "Ўзбек" to "O'zbek". [Entire country was supposed to switch to
Latin script by 2007...]

Currently we are in the process of acquiring adminstrator priviliges for some of our most active users. Once that
is done, I will make sure that the Sitename issue is appropriately followed up.

Thank you so much for help and advice.

Just a quick question: has languageuz.php being uploaded? if so how come it is not reflected in the Uzbek
wikipediya pages?

Best regards, ~~~

Done in SVN trunk, r14272.

Just file a bug or go into #wikimedia-tech and pester a system admin until it's
done.

Because messages come out of the MediaWiki namespace, which was "built" using
the old version of the files. I expect it could be rebuilt, again, just ask.

Can someone verify that these namespaces are indeed the correct translations.
Translation of one namespace is actually missing. Reopen this bug if new
information comes available.

"Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia_munozarasi" namespaces should be changed to
"Vikipediya" and "Vikipediya_munozarasi". And also, {{SITENAME}} is showing now
"Wikipedia", can you change it to "Vikipediya"?

Please file another bug for the namespace issue for the specific Wikimedia wikis (This can be done by filing another bug, then select Wikimedia - Site requests).

By the summary above, since the MessagesUz.php file was applied into the trunk, this bug should be marked as FIXED. Please reopen the bug only if there's problem regarding to the Uz message file.
