PerPageLanguage

The extension automatically switches the interface language when it detects that the page being visited has a language code set in the database (via Special:PageLanguage). It also adds a helper link (in the page tools) to set this page's content language via the Special page.

The extension requires the $wgPageLanguageUseDB global to be set to true.

Requirements

• MediaWiki 1.42+
• The extension requires the $wgPageLanguageUseDB global to be set to true

Setup

• Clone to the extensions folder
• Add wfLoadExtension('PerPageLanguage') to the settings file

Usage

• Change some page language to the desired one via Special:PageLanguage
• Visit the page and ensure your interface language is switched to the configured page language

Settings

• $wgPerPageLanguageIgnoreUserSetting (default is false) - if to ignore the user's language set in their preferences. By default, the extension will only switch the interface language to the page language if it detects that the user language set matches the $wgLanguageCode setting. Setting this to true will make the extension ignore the user setting and always switch the interface language to the page language
