Special:AdvancedTranslate and normalised form

Thread summary:[Link to] [Edit]

CLOSED This issue is closed

I tried adding the Swedish translation "Prefixindex" to the special page "PrefixIndex" which gave me the following message

Translation Prefixindex for Prefixindex is not in normalised form, which is PrefixIndex

Since Prefixindex is one word in Swedish PrefixIndex would actually be incorrect yet there seems like this is not possible to fix.

Now Special:Prefixindex will still work but the incorrect capitalisation shows up on e.g. Special:Specialpages on e.g. sv.wp.

Is there a work around for this or something which should be sent on to bugzilla?

Worth testing, but bugzilla I think: most likely, the case normalisation to the canonical form will happen in any case even if you add case-differing localised names.

... which would be a bug. Indeed, worth to be sent to bugzilla, if so. Localized versions should have preceedence, even if they coincide with genuine ones.

Now at bugzilla:62372. Please add any clarifications/comments there.
