the language of the error is different from the one in the link

This is because the i18n key for this text (gallery-loading-error-offline) has not been translated to Arabic yet. Therefore, since it is not present in ar.json the banana library shows the text in English as back up. I understand transalatewiki.net would pick up that translation eventually.

the try again button doesn't update the content

I was able to replicated this issue, I will work on a fix

The PR is merged

@eamedina I created T268057 instead of putting it here because it doesn't seem to be related

@eamedina I noticed that the error message text size shows 12pts. I remember we earlier had it 16pts. Not sure how did it happen but maybe worth addressing as part of this ticket?

Sounds good, thanks

Good catch, I agree we can address with this ticket. The original PR is merged but I can create a small follow up PR to address this update.

@SGautam_WMF would you mind confirming font size looks good in branch T267069-try-again-bug-follow-up? Will wait for your confirmation to merge new PR, thanks.

@eamedina looks fine now, I did notice something else as well. For Arabic language the full stop(.) appears at the beginning of the error message whereas the message is still in English.

Yea it shows up like that because the Arabic translation of that specific message hasn't been provided by translatewiki.net yet, that translation should come eventually. It looks weird with the dot at the "beginning" because of the RTL vs LTR mix up, once it's translated and we read it right-to-left, then the dot will not appear out of place

Got it.

@AMuigai maybe we can ask someone to translate this for us so we can avoid this mix-up?

Link to translate would be https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Wikimedia:Wikipedia-preview-gallery-loading-error-offline/ar

@SGautam_WMF do I understand correctly we can go ahead and proceed with the PR merge to address the font size change specifically?

@eamedina, sorry, I think that wasn't clear from my earlier message. Yes, we can merge it now.

Thanks, PR has been merged
