The Mustache_i18n extension adds internationalization support to Mustache templating engine integrated into MediaWiki.

Installation

• <translate> <tvar name=1>Download</tvar> and place the file(s) in a directory called <tvar name=name>Mustache_i18n</tvar> in your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> folder.</translate>
• <translate> Add the following code at the bottom of your <tvar name=1>LocalSettings.php </tvar> file:</translate>

  wfLoadExtension( 'Mustache_i18n' );
  

• File:OOjs UI icon check-constructive.svg <translate> Done</translate> – <translate> Navigate to <tvar name=special>Special:Version</tvar> on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.</translate>

Usage

After being installed this extension add two "helpers" to Mustache engine:

• _ (underscore) — process provided message key and returns plain string
• __ (double underscore) — process provided message key and returns parsed string

Examples:

This is plain string message: {{ _ "my-i18n-message-key" }}

This is parsed string message: {{ __ "my-i18n-message-key" }}

Limitations

• Parametrized messages are not supported
• Any other output formats except plain and parsed are not supported
• Templates cache can lead to messed up messages and localizations mustache for users. In general it is not Mustache_i18n problem, but templating system itself.

Warnings

due lack of hooks in MediaWiki templating code this extensions use its own TemplateParser class by replacing classes loading list (via $wgAutoloadLocalClasses). This should not be a big problem, but can lead to confusing situation if you'll forget to update this extension after new MediaWiki release.
