Last week:
- Translate extension improvements:
- fuller message review system integration
- fuller logging
- the first attempt to write translatable user-level documentation of an extension:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:WebFonts - see above for links to translation.
- Translatable documentation can be implemented this way for the whole of MediaWiki manual. Did you ever notice the lonely links to Japanese and Russian translations on some pages? This can potentially give the manual's translation some structure.
- Experiments with Neil's generic feedback tool.
This week:
- Change Narayam preference from "disable" to "enable" - should be easier and more consistent.
- Flipping the preference in the wikis where it is currently will be needed.
- More improvements for translation review system:
- allowing localizers to easily translate workflow states (proofreading, read, published etc.)
- direct access to reviewing recent translations.
- PLURAL support in JavaScript (!)
- Trying qunit.
Blockers:
- not an immediate blocker, but we are patiently waiting for Visual Editor office hours :)
