[edit] please can you fix Multilanguage?

For MW1.17? click here, thanks. Davecotter (talk) 06:15, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry for my late answer. Of course I still exist. :-) and am also occasionally active here and there...
The Multilang extension was a quick and dirty hack but a very easy and practical thing, which I hoped others would replace with even better ideas (I also simply needed a break from Wikimedia universe). In the meantime I was busy with other things and didn't pay much attention to Wikimedia Commons, MediaWiki and Wikipedia anylonger... However I filled even a bug report on the issue, which documents the whole topic quite good: bugzilla:8287. As also can be seen from the bug report a very, very, very ugly hack with lots of ParserFunction voodoo and a special switch variable {{int:Lang}} was integrated into Wikimedia Commons. It works - but only for experts (which is also the opnion of other commenters at the bug report).
So I will have a look at the extension and the current MediaWiki version (hopefully this weekend), why it doesn't work anylonger together. I can't promise anything but at least the extension seems to be more popular than I have thought and thus worth a try to fix it. :-)
