Interestingly, 1.5.2 doesn't ship with a LanguageSu.php file, at least, not as
far as I can determine from CVS. What language *is* that?

(In reply to comment #2)
Ups... SU represent the Sundanese language. Wikipedia in Sundanese
(su.wikipedia.org) initialized last year without the languageSu.php file. I
translate the system messages directly from the site (see
http://su.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages). How about that?

you also need to provide translations for namespaces )

Combined the stuff above with the PHP view of that wiki's Special:Allmessages,
and we have the makings of a LanguageSu.php file right there. As Ashar says,
we'd ideally want namespace translations too...

(In reply to comment #6)
In the "PHP view" on page Special:Allmessages, we can find the translations (at
least some of it). Or is it something else?

Namespace names are those like (for Wikipedia), the main namespace (isn't named,
really), the project namespace, "Wikipedia", e.g. Wikipedia:Introduction; the
Special namespace, e.g. Special:Allmessages and the Talk namespace, e.g. Talk:Foo.

We'd want to include translations of these in the LanguageSu.php file as well,
if possible. However, we do have an excellent start here, which we can start to
put together, and improvements can be added later.

Here they are...
Then, how should I do for the next improvement(s)?

Sundanese Language.php file

this is the original file where I translate mediawiki interface for Sundanese
subdomain.

patch is not relevant since there no such a file (LanguageSU.php) in current mw

If the file doesn't exist, a patch isn't needed. We'll just have the file as it is.

I have commited a basic file to support Sudanese language.
The above patches are based on a wrong file (Language.php?).

I have also copied data from http://su.wikipedia.org/ to implement
some basic translations.

Please post future update using the guide on meta:

We had some javascript code in CVS (msg:'lastmodified'; discovered by
Nikerabbit) that allows the site in question to get access to the users session
on both all sundanese wikimedia projects and any MediaWiki wiki using a
sundanese interface.

None of the namespaces worked either (fixed by Nikerabbit also)

*Please* do a sanity check on these things before you submit them as they're
quite often full of garbage;)

I'm sorry for the statcounter case, I don't know that It was violate the privacy
policy of the Wikimedia projects. It was deleted, and Brion have revoke my sysop
status in Sundanese Wikipedia, temporarily (I hope).

So, I've seen the result. The default interface are now in Sundanese, most of
it, but I found something "funny". In the other projects (Wiktionary, Wikibooks,
etc.), the default are in Sundanese, but then most of the messages are
"translated" into English. It means that I have to change all of those messages
back into default, and it means many work.

Is there any method(s) to automatically delete this "English" translation?

Non-translated messages are not included anymore in the PHP output of
allmessages, which however is not the preferred way to do general patches for
MediaWiki.
