Hi. Would somebody teach me how to change language name from "한국어 (조선)" to "조선말"? I couldn't find it in CLDR and MessagesKo_kp.php of phabricator. Thanks.

p.s. as far as I know, it is my first time here. So, I don't know whether this is the right place or not.

Event Timeline

Hi @Garam, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Phabricator! Please see and follow https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug . We do not know where you see that language name as this task is missing any steps to reproduce. Thanks a lot!

@Aklapper: We can see it in Translate Wiki (e.g. {#languagename: {{UILANGCODE}} }} or <translate>) and Wikimedia projects (e.g. commons) etc. Thanks.

Now in this situation, what should I do for this?

p.s. as per standard of spacing words of North Korea, spelling of term "조선 민주주의 인민 공화국 원" ("KPW") is wrong in wmflabs In this case, correct spelling is "조선민주주의인민공화국 원". (see also: ko-wp)

Thanks.

This is not really relevant for this discussion, because this is copied from CLDR, which is an external database. Maybe CLDR can be changed upstream.

For the language name in MediaWiki and software directly related to it, one needs to change it in the GitHub language-data repository using a usual GitHub pull request and in the languages/data/Names.php file in the Gerrit MediaWiki core repository (see Gerrit and Gerrit/Getting started). We plan to unify these files some day, but it's complicated.

Taking the GitHub and Gerrit patches.

revi moved this task from Doing to Closed on the User-revi board.

CLDR is outside the scope for this bug — that’s for Unicode submission and CLDR works independently from mediawiki.

What can be changed on mediawiki (language-data and core) was changed. Closing.
