Description
Wikimedia projects extensively use templates and Lua modules for critical features like infoboxes, and welcome messages. These are developed by skilled community members and are essential for the functionality and user experience across multiple languages. Despite their complexity and importance, templates and modules lack a framework for internationalization and localization, unlike MediaWiki extensions.
This video goes over the problem that we are trying to solve in more detail:

Create a Lua module that will allow modules to access the strings defined in a
message bundle

The functionality is enabled on testwiki.

I've been working on some POC patches, which can be found
here
. My goal is to gain a better understanding of Modules, Lua, and extending the Scribunto library. The API will be updated based on community feedback, but here are some planned changes that I think make sense:
Loading message bundles based on the page title rather than the message group ID. For example:
TMB.new("MessageBundleDemoForever")
, where
TMB
is the translatable message bundle module.
Adding language fallback support by default.
Including a method in the library to fetch translations based on the page language.

It just came into my mind that the current patches don’t return any information on the status of the translations (language, fuzziness) other than the ability to disable fallbacks. Users of this Lua interface may want to use similar markup as Translate’s page translation feature to indicate that a translation is fuzzy or missing. So I think that given a message key and a language, it should be possible to get a Lua table with the following information (either as table keys or as methods):
state: fuzzy, normal, maybe even reviewed
language: MediaWiki language code or
mw.language
object of the
actually
used language, which may be the requested language, English, or any other fallback language
I’m writing here because I’m not sure which one of the many patches this belongs in, or if a new patch should be added to the end of the relation chain.

Thanks for surfacing this. I'll try to work on it in a patch at the end of the relation chain albeit maybe not immediately.

Few initial thoughts on this:
Whenever direct translations are fetched, those will be referred to by
:t()
or by
translations
, else we will use the term messages or
:m()
getMessages
etc
It would be nice to return the
Message
class objects that we have on PHP, but we will have to see if serialization of a PHP class object to Lua is possible. If not, we will return array from the PHP API and create the Lua Message objects and return that to the developer.
Reference code to construct an array of translations / messages can be found in
QueryMessageCollectionActionApi
class.

Hi, for Tech News, please could someone advise on the wording and timing of the entry?
I see it is tagged as 1.43.0-wmf.11 and hence rolling out next week, but I'm not sure if it needs to be announced in the upcoming edition, or if there's perhaps a good reason to delay it by a week or more (e.g. to write/update any related documentation that we'd link to from the entry). Thanks.

While some changes have been merged, others are still under review. The not yet merged
MessageBundleLibrary.lua: Return message object from t() method
is a breaking change; we shouldn’t encourage people to use the feature (so it shouldn’t be announced in Tech News) before that gets merged.

Hi
@Quiddity
, thanks for surfacing this.
This is still in development and the feature is disabled by default. We plan to take feedback about the API from the community with the feature enabled on translatewiki.net.
The
documentation
around this is also still a WIP. I'll comment on this task when its read to be announced.

Tested with the following setup on translatewiki.net:
Message bundle:
Lua module:
I then tried to use it in
but I don't see the translations from the message bundle appearing.
Needs more investigation.

made an edit to the module

mw.logObject(mb:getAllTranslations())
helped a log during the debugging.)

Thanks, we made a change to fix this. I "undid" your edit and things work as expected
