Description

The www.wikipedia.org project portal is currently displaying "Polski" on the top left of the list of languages below the search bar. Hovering over "Polski" displays "Angielski," which is incorrect because "Angielski" in Polish means "English."

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://www.wikipedia.org
Go below the search bar and hover over "Polski" on the top left

<a id="js-link-box-pl" href="//pl.wikipedia.org/" title="Angielski — Wikipedia — Wolna encyklopedia" class="link-box" data-slogan="Wolna encyklopedia">
<strong>Polski</strong>

This looks just like a bad translation to me, which was added with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/wikimedia/portals/+/682650.

In qqq.json it explicitly states

"language-name-romanized": "The '''romanized''' version of the name of '''your''' language. Do not translate this message if your language is written using a Latin alphabet.\n\n'''Important:''' Do not use your language’s word for “English”. Use the word that your language uses to refer to itself. If you translate this message to mean “English” in your language, your change will be reverted.\n\n'''Important:''' This message must be romanized – that is, it should use a Latin alphabet rather than your language’s usual script. If you change this message to a script other than Latin, your change will be reverted.\n{{Identical|English}}",

Hi @54nd60x. The problem in this ticket is valid, but it is nothing to solve in the code. The translations of the strings must be changed. This can be done by any user who knows the language and you do not need to know programming:

Translations are done on the translatewiki.net website. In this case, https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&showMessage=portals-language-name-romanized&group=wikimedia-portals&language=pl&filter=&optional=1&action=translate

You can create an account there, change translations, and after a few days they will be updated automatically on Wikimedia websites.

You could also notify https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:Rail who was the last person to touch that translation according to https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Wikimedia:Portals-language-name-romanized-sorted/pl&action=history

For more information, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translatewiki.net - thanks!
