In Russian punctuation messages appear with FUZZY
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

To reproduce, look at:

The messages in question are Colon-separator and Percent. Both are optional and don't need translation in Russian at all. They were unnecessarily translated and marked as FUZZY in June.

We can simply update or remove the translations, but there may be a deeper issue here. Looks like only now in November they became displayed in this broken way. I'm not sure why—it may be a problematic core change or something else.

Preventing identical translations for optional messages could be investigated as part of T204568: Extend message checker framework to support errors that prevent saving.

It's not necessary. As far as I can see, these languages are not affected by this bug. There are hundreds of unnecessary optional translations that could be deleted and there should probably be a more robust method for deleting them, but that's a separate issue.

Now I am really confused why this is happening. Translations in MediaWiki namespace in translatewiki.net are only supposed to be used if the base message without language code exists. If this is the brackets message, it doesn't exist. The FUZZY cannot come via i18n files. This makes me wonder if the message cache is not working as expected in translatewiki.net.

I deleted some FUZZY local messages, one of which was brackets.

But indeed, something here looks strange.
