Extension:LanguageSelector - MediaWiki

This extension is currently not actively maintained! Although it may still work, any bug reports or feature requests will more than likely be ignored.

If you are interested in taking on the task of developing and maintaining this extension, you can request repository ownership. As a courtesy, you may want to contact the author. You should also remove this template and list yourself as maintaining the extension in the page's {{Extension }} infobox.

The LanguageSelector extension detects the interface language to use for anonymous visitors and provides a menu for selecting the user language on each page for logged-in users and anonymous visitors. It also provides an additional tag, <languageselector>, for embedding the selector into wiki pages and system messages.

Language detection is based on the Accept-Language header sent by the browser as part of the HTTP request. Users can also set their preferred language explicitly—this is handled by a separate cookie for anonymous visitors and in the user preferences for logged-in users.

For more comprehensive support for multilingual content, LanguageSelector can be combined with the Polyglot extension.

Language detection and cookie-based language preferences for anonymous users currently does not work with page caching (MediaWiki file cache, reverse HTTP proxies like squid, etc.). It may degrade cache performance render the cache useless, and lead people to seeing the page in a random language. Mediawiki's internal caches (parser, link, query, etc.) are unaffected.

• Download and move the extracted LanguageSelector folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LanguageSelector
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'LanguageSelector' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

You can specify the following settings in your LocalSettings.php (after including the extension file):

$wgLanguageSelectorLanguages

Languages to be offered to the user for selection. If set to NULL (the default), all languages known to MediaWiki (by $wgExtraLanguageNames ) are considered. If the Polyglot extension is installed and $wgPolyglotLanguages is set, that value will be used as a fallback. Setting $wgLanguageSelectorLanguages to a shorter list may be more convenient for users than selecting from a list with more than a hundred mostly useless entries. This variable must be an array so that you can declare it like this:

$wgLanguageSelectorLanguages = [ 'en', 'es', 'pt' ];

The codes "en", "es" and "pt" stand for English, Spanish and Portuguese respectively.

$wgLanguageSelectorShowCode (since rev:55711)

whether to show language codes before the native language name. Default is false;

$wgLanguageSelectorDetectLanguage

Language detection mode for anonymous visitors. Possible values:

• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_USE_CONTENT_LANG: do not use detection; always use the wiki's content language (this is MediaWiki's normal behavior).
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_PREFER_CONTENT_LANG: use the wiki's content language setting if the client accepts.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_PREFER_CLIENT_LANG: use the client's preferred language if it is in $wgLanguageSelectorLanguages.

$wgLanguageSelectorLocation

where to inject the language selector widget. Note that you will probably have to adjust your CSS styles to adopt the language selector to your wiki's style. Possible values of $wgLanguageSelectorLocation:

• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_MANUAL: do not show language selector. This can be useful if you only want to use the auto-detection feature, or only want the selector on a few pages, or if you want to place it manually by putting it into an appropriate system message.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_AT_TOP_OF_TEXT: inject a dropdown box at the top of page content. This is the default, but it looks ugly without extra CSS rules.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_IN_TOOLBOX: inject a dropdown box at the bottom of the toolbox in the sidebar. This only works with the MonoBook skin or skins that explicitly support the MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd hook.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_AS_PORTLET: inject the language selector as a portlet in the sidebar, similar to how interlanguage links are shown. It works with MonoBook skin and may also work with some SkinTemplate-based skins.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_INTO_SITENOTICE: inject a dropdown box at the end of the site notice text. Ugly without additional CSS rules applied. It works with MonoBook skin and may also work with some SkinTemplate-based skins.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_INTO_TITLE: inject a dropdown box at the end of the page title. Ugly without additional CSS rules applied. It works with MonoBook skin and may also work with some SkinTemplate-based skins.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_INTO_SUBTITLE: inject a dropdown box at the end of the subtitle. Ugly without additional CSS rules applied. It works with MonoBook skin and may also work with some SkinTemplate-based skins.
• LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_INTO_CATLINKS: inject a dropdown box at the end of the category box. Ugly without additional CSS rules applied. It works with MonoBook skin and may also work with some SkinTemplate-based skins.

Example

$wgLanguageSelectorDetectLanguage = LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_USE_CONTENT_LANG;
$wgLanguageSelectorLocation = LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_IN_TOOLBOX;
