Details

[edit]
  • $title: the Title object
  • &$pageLang: Language of the page. You should assign a Language object to it, but because other hooks can modify the value, the type can be anything, like a string.
  • $userLang: Language or StubUserLang object; the user interface language

It was added in Title.php but is in content/ContentHandler.php since MediaWiki 1.21 .

Example

[edit]

For example, if you want to mark all pages in the namespace with index 200 (and its talk page 201) as being in French, use:

	static function onPageContentLanguage( Title $title, &$pageLang, $userLang ) {
		if ( $title->inNamespaces( 200, 201 ) ) {
			$pageLang = Language::factory( 'fr' );
		}
	}
