Language Support

[xbony2]

• #get_language for the default language of a wiki (would return en on our wiki, would return es on the Spanish Minecraft Wiki, etc).
• Namespace (and maybe other things that are needed?) language support, like butt.get_localized_namespace("Category", "pt-br") => "Categoria".

What APIs support these things?

[xbony2]

Dunno.

@xbony2 You realise that English namespaces are supported for non-en langauge wikis? e.g.
http://minecraft-es.gamepedia.com/File:Minecraft_Wiki_header.svg

As for API that support being able to translate? Not possible, unless you're specifically on a language wiki, and query for it's namespaces/site messages

@Developaws I know that. But putting English names into non-English wikis is unprofessional.

Then query the name spaces by Id lol?

Not sure what you mean. It's not about querying, it's about adding categories to pages and that sort of stuff :P

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace#Built-in_namespaces

result['query']['namespaces']['14']['*'] = 'Categor\u00eda'.
Congratulations, you now have the localised namespace :P That's about the best you can possibly get from the API. Unless you wanted a /little/ bit deeper, and possibly query the site messages?

[xbony2]

I suppose that would work...
