Message text does not make sense to me.

en and qqq updated to a more sensible translation.

Thank you. The qqq is clear now. I think that "referring from" in the message should be "referring to". My dictionary does not know "refer from".

Is this still waiting for action?

Seems this has been forgotten, but "referring from" is definitely incorrect and should be changed to "referring to", as Purodha said in 2015.

The same also needs changing in Unprotect-ref ("Bot: Unprotecting all pages referring to %(page)s").

This message should probably not end in a full stop, as it otherwise ends in %(comment)s and the comment may already include a full stop.

"a list of files" -> "files in a list", because a file list itself cannot be protected

Pywikibot:Delete-from-file/en ditto

The bot is protecting or deleting a couple of files given by a list but it is not doing this in the list itself.

Hello. I've been recently translating messages to aragonese, yet after some months the messages ain't avalaible at the submodule (currently: 8e949fce7f77cc97f682780010c0bcc2e2de8f14 scripts/i18n (8e949fc). Would it be possible to have it updated? Thanks.

I've managed to get the i18n files updated via git submodule foreach git pull origin master; but anyone cloning pywikibot from gerrit won't get the messages updated. Thanks.

It's updated now.

Not worth it. If you get the translation removed from the code, warn a sysop to get it deleted at the same time on the wiki. If the translation is wrong, just fix it.

Please delete the message as it's equal to the source. Thanks.

Documented. The message used to say "pages that link to or transclude".

What is meant - "referred to from" or "referring to" ?

Needs date and time parametes separated. See: Separate times from dates in sentences.

As far as I can see, %(timestamp)s is date/time in ISO format ('2006-01-26T12:05:04Z'), so this should not really be an issue. As long as we don't do proper date formatting, I don't think it makes sense to adapt the messages to allow that.

Well, ISO dates are completely unsuited for translated messages. What to do?

Feel free to open a feature request on phab to improve date formatting in revertbot, but it's unlikely to be implemented soon. Doing date formatting *correctly* means we actually have to implement a way to format localized dates and times, which (as far as I know) we currently don't have.

I'm not sure though why you feel ISO dates 'are completely unsuited'. The goal of the message is to transmit four bits of information ('we reverted', revision X, which was created by Y at date/time Z) and, even if the translated message is imperfect, this message can be transmitted.

ISO dates are understandable for people with an anglosaxon background - be it learned or grown up in. For most other cultures they are either completely unreadable or at least misleading. So that is not a little imperfection that we are talking about here, they are unsuited for i18n.

Realistically, there is no way to implement this in pywikibot at the moment. Either we implement it ourselves (not realistic), or we hook into ICU (which is possible, has issues for windows users). I created phab:T102174 to track this; please continue the discussion there.

The timestamps is unsuited for i18n. Date and time need to be separated as of mw:Localisation#Separate times from dates in sentences.

As I answered before in Thread:Support/About_Pywikibot:Revertbot-revert/ksh:

"As far as I can see, %(timestamp)s is date/time in ISO format ('2006-01-26T12:05:04Z'), so this should not really be an issue. As long as we don't do proper date formatting, I don't think it makes sense to adapt the messages to allow that."

Won't fix as long as this is a timestamp only.

Timestamps are completely unsuited for translated messages.

They were already fuzzied.[1]

This change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/152138/ needs us to update or invalidate messages like Pywikibot:Archivebot-older-than/zh. I already updated Pywikibot:Archivebot-older-than/ja. Can someone add "FUZZY" to those not updated?

To keep things working as they used to do, it might be better to append unupdated messaged with " %(duration)s", export, and then invalidate. (Nemo bis's suggestion)
