When declining for using a language other than English, entering German as the language doesn't display a language-specific message #255

If I decline a draft for being in Polish for example, the decline message directs the author to the Polish Wikipedia. If I enter the language as German, overwriting the example language of German, the get a generic message with no link to German wikipedia.

Reported again today by Blaze Wolf at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#Non-english_decline_sometimes_won't_input_the_language. Will raise priority.

Unable to reproduce on testwiki.

Is this bug still occurring?
What exactly is being typed into the language text box? de? German? german? I did my test with german, all lowercase.

Whatever was affecting things seems to have cleared up - the issue somehow related to "German" being the example/default text not passing through, but I just used that for both primary and secondary decline reasons and everything looks to be working as intended.

Maybe we got lucky and a patch somewhere along the way fixed the glitch?

Or maybe it uses a template/module and that template/module got fixed onwiki.

Good to hear this is all solved :)
