El Paquete de extensión de idioma de MediaWiki (MLEB por sus siglas en inglés) es un conjunto de extensiones de MediaWiki que ofrece características multilingües. Está pensado para proveer una manera fácil de brindar soporte completo de idiomas a MediaWiki.

Visión general de las extensiones

La versión actual de MLEB contiene seis extensiones:

[1]

MLEB tiene un calendario de publicación trimestral, por lo que puede mantenerse a la vanguardia con el soporte de idiomas en constante mejora. El paquete es testeado en las nuevas versiones recientes de MediaWiki, así que puedes evitar muchas de las roturas temporales que podrían pasar si estabas usando las últimas versiones de desarrollo de cada extensión.

Motivación

The Universal Language Selector is a must have, because it provides an essential functionality for any user regardless of the number of languages they speak: language selection, font support for displaying scripts badly supported by common operating systems, and input methods for typing languages that don't use the Latin alphabet. Incluye fuentes con licencias libres, las cuales abarcan la mayoría de los idiomas de América, Europa, Oriente Medio, India y el Sureste asiático.

Maintaining multilingual content in a wiki is a mess without the Translate extension, which is used by Wikimedia Foundation, KDE, translatewiki.net and other sites.

The Clean Changes extension keeps your recent changes page uncluttered from translation activity and other clutter.

Don't miss the chance to practice your rusty language skills: Use the Babel extension to mark the languages you speak and find other speakers of the same language in your wiki. And, finally, the cldr extension is a database of language and country translations.

Background

MLEB does not use version-specific branches of extensions. It's a snapshot from master which is verified to be working with the specified MediaWiki releases. This means all MLEB extensions must follow the compatibility policy of supporting two latest stable MediaWiki releases in the master branch.

MLEB releases are created with a tool called Melange. If you are interested in that code (e.g. you want to change its code), see the Melange repository in Git. We may drop support for EOL versions of PHP, but will have at least one compatible version for each MediaWiki version we support.
