Forum:Multilingual support problems

Thurstan has detected a fault in part of our multilingual support system. I have been using French as default language for Wikia sites for the last few weeks. Pages I have created are now apparently displaying some headings or connecting text in French even to people using English. The key is probably related to String, perhaps simply that that has not been used everywhere it should have been.

Here's the report that sparked the inquiry:
 * When I look at the children of Mary Howell (1782-1854) (a page you created), I see "Birth: February 17, 1816 à New Jersey, United States", but when I create pages, I see "in" rather than "à". I think this is a bug in our language support. Thurstan 22:18, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Discussion of solutions is welcome. So as to minimize duplication of work, please report here any investigations and changes.
