1257003 - Tell Akismet that translated content is a mix of English and the target language

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
When submitting new edits to Akismet, the language ("blog_lang") is set to the language for that section ("en-us", "fr", etc.).  For non-English pages, a combination should be sent ("fr, en-us")

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Akismet may be looking for words outside of the given locale as an indication that the content is spam, but it is common for mixed content to appear, as we encourage partial translations.

Who would use this?
===================
Localizers on MDN would potentially be blocked by Akismet less often.

What would users see?
=====================
Akismet blocks are displayed as form validation errors, and would not be seen.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Translators would not be discouraged from translating pages, and would be more likely to translate multiple pages

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
