Special Page names in translation

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Smtchahal

Just use the default english special page name, since magic words may not be available in all messages. Besides, the default english special page names work on all wikis, no matter what the content language is. So, for example, a link with Special:Contributions will work everywhere, but विशेष:योगदान will not.

Alright, thanks, I'll keep it in mind. I do know Hindi, but I've never been a contributor to any Hindi MediaWiki wiki so I thought using localised names for special pages was appropriate.
