Add grammar support for Icelandic language names
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Some of the messages in mediawiki and its extensions use language names, which are provided as variables. It is not possible in Icelandic to write those sentances correctly without changing the grammar of the language name. As such, grammar support for Icelandic is needed.

Hi @Snaevar, do you plan to improve the patch in Gerrit? Asking as you are set as task assignee. Thanks!

@Snaevar: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!

[mediawiki/core@master] Add Grammar support for Icelandic language names

Reason:

Looks like this patch is abandoned. It would need to be redone anyway to use more data driven approach that Amir has been working on.
