Description:
Hallo!
This is a special case of
Bug 2030: anomalies in the "Navigation" menue while selecting a different
language interface in [[Special:Preferences]]
and its duplicate
Bug 4088: preserve navigation and toolbox links regardless of select user interface
The screen dump http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=1109 ilustrates
the problem. If you want to reproduce the mentioned behaviour log in at
http://test.wikipedia.jp/ and select 'he' as user intrface.
What happened:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/wikipedia/phase3/languages/LanguageHe.php
shows that
"currentevents" => "-",
is the "MediaWiki default value" for 'he'.
To my understanding when changing the interface to another language *available
translations* for "titles" from the navigation and toolbox (defined in
[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]) should be displayed.
What works until now: If no translation exists the untranslated "title" from the
"MediaWiki:Sidebar" is preserved.
What should be changed: A translation as "-" should be regarded as "invalid". To
my understanding it should not mather if it comes from the LanguageXx.php file
or from a "local" MediaWiki:Foo/xx as
http://test.wikipedia.jp/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Currentevents/he (which is
not the case at http://test.wikipedia.jp/ ).
