Where is time stamp message for Echo extension?

CLOSED This issue is closed

Moved to bugzilla:61904 See also Thread:Support/Where_is_time_stamp_message_for_Echo_extension? and related threads and bugs; also reported at Thread:Support/Notifications.

I search for the time stamp message that displays the notification date in the Echo window on the top of a wikipage, see the image below:

This is in Upper Sorbian WP but the time stamp is shown in the fallback language German (inside the red ellipsis). I need the name of the message to translate it into Sorbian.

I didn't find that message among the messages of the Echo extension on translatewiki.net.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

I found a possible message here. It's in another extension, extension Central Auth but I can't check if this message is used for Echo extension as well because Central Auth extension is not enabled for Upper Sorbian yet. It's a terrible situation for translators. This message should appear in all extensions it is used for as separate message.

Have a look at this thread. You could try to translate the "time-ago" messages in MediaWiki core. These are:

• Seconds-ago (“$1 {{PLURAL:$1|second|seconds}} ago”) Minutes-ago (“$1 {{PLURAL:$1|minute|minutes}} ago”) Hours-ago (“$1 {{PLURAL:$1|hour|hours}} ago”)
• Weeks (“{{PLURAL:$1|$1 week|$1 weeks}}”) Months (“{{PLURAL:$1|$1 month|$1 months}}”) Years (“{{PLURAL:$1|$1 year|$1 years}}”) Ago (“$1 ago”)

It would be useful to get some feedback on what translating these does to the situation. It appears from the thread that it hasn't yet been confirmed whether these strings are actually used in Echo extension or not.

Hello Lloffiwr,

thank you for your answer. The messages you mentioned have been already translated, both for Upper Sorbian and for Lower Sorbian. They appear translated among the system messages on Wikipedia. Strange, how it is in Welsh Wikipedia?

Regards,

Hmm. Then maybe these messages are coming from CLDR as suggested by Nike.

If that's the case I understand that it is still untranslated. The Sorbian languages are not a part of CLDR yet.

If you have a page showing the message, append the parameter uselang=qqx to its URL (preceed by either ? or & depending on whether ? is already there) and you get the message keys instead of the message contents.
