Nemo 2013-04-13 08:49:57 MSD: "Please file a separate request to make ru the fallback language for bxr, after confirming with the community that they don't mind the Russian default."
Buryatia is Russian Republic and almost 100 % of Buryats know
Russian language, not English. And also Buryat language uses Cyrillic script
(as Russian), not Latin script (as English) so many international words simply
no need do translate.
Here is discussion with previous sysop of bxr.wikipedia Gubin Michail:
http://bxr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википеэди:Community_Portal/Archive_2012#.D0.97.D0.B0.D1.81.D0.B8.D0.BB.D1.8C.D0.B5_.D0.BB.D0.B0.D1.82.D0.B8.D0.BD.D0.B8.D1.86.D1.8B_.D0.B2_.D0.BA.D0.BE.D0.B4.D0.B5
He argeed that it will be better to using Russian instead of English. Here's the opinion of another native speaker, user Aldar Badmaev: http://bxr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASoul_Train&diff=31713&oldid=31702
«... As for the system, I think it is important to translate it in the Buryat
language. If necessary, [using] Russian language.»
So and I, temporary sysop of bxr.wikipedia.org, user Soul Train, request to change the fallback language for bxr.wikipedia.org from English to Russian. Thanks.
