Halló!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages
displays the MediaWiki messages in the languages selected in the user interface.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages/language_code should allow
to have direct access to these messages WITHOUT changing the interface, going to
prefferences clearing the cache etc.

[[Special:Allmessages]] is now sorted alphabeticaly. The ability to sort the
message by modification date is / will be added in [[Special:Recentchanges]].

Anyhow optimsatons / anhancements could be done:

: a selector for the available interface languages would be the next step if
[[Special:Allmessages]] will be implemented
: ordering by date could be available here too; this would make maintenance work
more straight forward and would not spread functionality over different pages

bug 2453 - [[Special:Allmessages]] should provide information about the type of
the MediaWiki message

A further suggestion, that I think would be very useful, would be a 'Show only
modified messages' button. In a list of (as of 1.5) about 1300 entries, where
only a few have been modified, it would be good to see just those few.

This is particularly useful when upgrading a wiki, where the text of a message
may have changed, so your alterations to the previous version no longer make sense.

Hi Mark! Your request is available since a week or two. Thanks to delelopers for
providing this feature.

Hallo!

This works already:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages?uselang=fi
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages?uselang=ro
etc.

What is missing is the selector box for the languages that offer translations:

this could be
a) only the languages where a Messages.php is available
b) all languages defined in Names.php (because of "fall back" language relations)

Personaly I would not care if this is implemented via Java or PHP.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

If Special:Allmessages is not enough, I suggest trying Special:Translate extension.
