Not so, I've just opened Special:MergeAccount from hi.wikipedia.org, with my locale selected as the Hindi Language / Devanagari script, and the whole page is in Hindi. If the language of the installation was being overridden, it would come up in English, no?

This is the Special:MergeAccount page from hi.wikipedia.org, note I have my local language set to Hindi, and the page is appearing IN Hindi, not in the language of the Wiki Installation.

This one is with the prefs set to English-GB for my local language. It's working fine :)

Well, go to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Benutzerkonten_zusammenf%C3%BChren (which is where Special:MergeAccount leads on de.) with a en locale.

You will find this:

Once your login is unified, you will be able to log in to any wiki site of der Wikimedia Foundation without creating a new account.

(notice the "of der Wikimedia Foundation" there. Should be "of the", shouldn't it? ;))

Got the same issue on another, private wiki, which has a German installation too, so it might be specific to this?

I think it possibly is. I'll file a request for the localisation to be looked at, it's possibly just a mistake in the localisation for the german language version.

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on.

@Thor:
on your wiki its different - compare 'centralauth-merge-welcome' in your language here:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.i18n.php

In the english and german version there is {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}} included in the message - that directs to the installation language of your wiki, not to the local pref language like in {{int:Centralauth-groupname}}.

These are the messages with the (same) bug:
centralauth-desc
centralauth-merge-welcome
centralauth-complete-text
centralauth-incomplete-text

This issue seems to be fixed, but I found another issue :)

it's still the same...

You have to be more specific than "it".

I guess this is about {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}} in centralauth-merge-welcome, right?

I refered to my previous comment:

These are the messages with the (same) bug:
centralauth-desc
centralauth-merge-welcome
centralauth-complete-text
centralauth-incomplete-text

In those it is {{MediaWiki:Centralauth-groupname}}, but in my opinion it should be {{int:Centralauth-groupname}}

Centralauth-groupname contains language-specific text (i.e. "the" in English, "der" in German) and should therefore be used with "int:" instead od "MediaWiki:".

The Problem occurs, if for example I am using a German wiki with user-language set to English and vince-versa. With "MediaWiki:" it is replaced with the language of the wiki instead of the user-language.
