== Problem ==
Hi Gero.<br>
Following code can work fine in MW1.13 with English interface (using '''<tt>$wgLanguageCode = "en";</tt>''' in the Localsetting.php ):
 <nowiki>{{#dpl: namespace=Category | format=,\n*%TITLE%,,}}</nowiki>

But if I change '''<tt>$wgLanguageCode = "en";</tt>''' to '''<tt>$wgLanguageCode = "zh-tw";</tt>''', the result of the code above will change to following:
 %DPL-1.7.4-??: ??? '$0' ??: 'namespace'! ??: $0= ???? (?)?

==My Environment==
* MediaWiki: 1.13.0
* Win XP
* DPL 1.7.4
*The AppServ Open Project - 2.5.7 for Windows
** Apache Web Server Version 2.2.3
** PHP Script Language Version 5.1.6
** MySQL Database Version 5.0.24a

Could you give me a hand?

In this situation, I can use <nowiki>{{#dpl: namespace=分類</nowiki>  '''&#60;!-- "分類" is the word "category" in Chinese -->'''<nowiki>| format=,\n*%TITLE%,,}}</nowiki> and the way works. But I don't like this. I've reported this problem to [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16576 Bugzilla 16576].

Hi Michael,

I would appreciate if you could fix the problem. Just publish the bugfix here and I will put it into the next release.

Hi Gero,

Thanks for your reply, but I cannot program php. Since I've found the way to reuse DPL in a Chinese wiki and solved the [[Issue:Could you give me the Inputbox extension used in this site directly|problem]]. I've been satisfied in this time. I hope the way can be used in the late version of MW.

It's looks like you have big businesses to do. I wish you can make more money. :-) --[[User:Roc michael|Roc michael]] 23:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Michael,

I got similar problem when using my site in Estonian language. I fixed this by first editing Template:DT_Language from
</nowiki>Template=Template|Category=Category</nowiki>
to
<nowiki>Template=Mall|Category=Kategooria</nowiki>
where "Mall" is "Template" and "Kategooria" is "Category" in Estonian

and in my template replacing
<nowiki>{{#dpl: namespace=Category | format=,\n*%TITLE%,,}}</nowiki>
with
<nowiki>{{#dpl: namespace={{DT Language|Category}}| format=,\n*%TITLE%,,}}</nowiki>

Hi Michael,

The issue asd been fixed on [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/?view=rev&revision=50074 r50074] and the encoding problem was fixed. [[User:Shinjiman|Shinjiman]] 15:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gero,

Please use the code on the trunk and fix the encoding error (might need to delete the original file than copy the new file again) before the next release of the DPL, thanks. :) [[User:Shinjiman|Shinjiman]] 15:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting the message file. I am afraid some time ago I had been using an editor which was not aware of UTF characters and so the content was more or less corrupted. I will adopt your version for the next release.

BTW: I would totally agree to have the official "master version" of the DPL source code in subversion. Could you help me to do that? Currently I don't know how to get access rights there ...

In the long run I would like to see DPL installed on the official ''wikipedia'' installations. Do you know which kind of lobbying and which other conditions would be necessary to achieve this?
