User:Egor/How to add a language

• If the language does not exist in MediaWiki's Names.php, you have to add it manually. (This is the case for alternative translations)
  • In /var/www/thpatch/w/LocalSettings.php add a line like $wgExtraLanguageNames['xx'] = 'My new language';.
  • Generate new UniversalLanguageSelector search data, to make the new language searchable by its title in addition to its language code:

php extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector/data/LanguageNameIndexer.php

• Add patch → language code mapping to the thcrap_tl_patches hook located at Patch:Supported languages.
  • Ensure that this actually worked by running mysql thpatch -e "SELECT * FROM tpc_tl_patches WHERE tl_patch = 'lang_xx';".
  • If it didn't work, cd /var/www/thpatch/w/extensions/TouhouPatchCenter/maintenance and run ./kick.sh "Patch:Supported languages".
• Create Patch:Lang xx with the following as content, modifying the dependencies as needed.

{{thcrap Patch Info
|title=My new language patch
|dependencies=nmlgc/base_tsa, nmlgc/base_tasofro, nmlgc/script_latin, nmlgc/western_name_order
}}

• Create Portal:Xx with {{Portal text}} as content.
• Add a portal link to the main page.
• Add a flag at File:Flag xx.svg.
• If the language is built into MediaWiki, someone could've added some pages prematurely. Make sure to kick them (the pages).
