Errors when converting dump with different localization than english #27

Open w4tsn opened 6 years ago

Within german instances of mediawiki it may appear, that some tags that are hard-coded and not localized are causing errors and eventually lead to breaking the process.

E.g. 'Kategorie' and 'Category'.

I worked around this issue by search-replacing these throughout the dump. Not beautiful but works.

Do you know where MediaWiki documents these alternatives (and how to detect which language settings are being used in the XML file)?

I don't know it right now, but I'll have a look into this.
