Thread:Support/About MediaWiki:Valueformatters-desc/nb/reply (2)

MediaWiki:Valueformatters-desc is the description of the "ValueFormatters" extension, which is a library for use by other extensions. It provides a collection of functions for presenting different kinds of values (text, time, coordinates, numbers, etc) to the user. Turning a data object into readable text is called "rendering" or "formatting", hence the name.

All that is needed here is a description of what the extension does, a direct translation of the noun "formatter" is not required at all.
