When variants conversion mark -{}- is used on searchbuttonlabel and default field, it is supposed to show different variants. But now only raw wikitext is shown (like -{zh-cn:foo; zh-tw:bar;}-). It is believed that the conversion works yesterday but is down for now. Here and here are some examples.
@A2093064 has tested all Chinese sites and the result is it does not work on all the wikis except Beta Cluster.
It seem happened after the deploy of 1.31.0-wmf.7 .

@Yuriy_kosygin: Please do not ping without any content and explanation why you ping me specifically. Thanks!
@Aklapper Sorry, I missing explanation, cause I think maybe you can understand this problem...
@Yuriy_kosygin: If you have specific questions or requests, please provide specific questions or requests. I still don't know what you wanted, even if I "understood the problem" - which I do not. :)
@Aklapper It seems that it has the code of the language converter so I think it maybe belongs to this tag and someone working on this tag will help us.
And I can't understand it broken after the deploy of 1.31.0-wmf.7.
So yes, this is my bad. Sorry about only responding now, I just became aware of this bug.

Yes, the relavent patch was deployed to chinese sites on Monday, but to beta cluster only on Tuesday evening.
Ok, so old behaviour was:
<inputbox>
type=fulltext
searchbuttonlabel=This text not translated -{}- Text here is translated -{}- Text here is not translated
</inputbox>
<inputbox>
type=fulltext
default=-{zh-hans: If viewing simplified this text is output; zh-hant: If viewing traditional this version output}-
</inputbox>With the patch, the text of the default or searchbuttonlabel parameter is never translated.
The easiest thing to do here would be to translate those fields if (and only if) -{ is present in the text. This is not exactly the same as what happened before. Would that be good enough?
There's other possibilities as well, such as always converting these fields (In a sense it would make sense, they are essentially text)

Hi everyone, this should be fixed now.
I apologize for any disruption this caused. If you encounter any more issues with language converter, please let me know.
