Could we have the English language as the second interface language on the zgh.wikipedia.org.
we have a community concesnus by this link: https://zgh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E2%B4%B0%E2%B5%8F%E2%B5%8E%E2%B5%93%E2%B4%B3%E2%B4%B3%E2%B4%B0%E2%B5%94#%E2%B5%9C%E2%B5%93%E2%B5%9C%E2%B5%8D%E2%B4%B0%E2%B5%A2%E2%B5%9C_%E2%B5%9C%E2%B5%89%E2%B5%99%E2%B5%99_%E2%B5%99%E2%B5%8F%E2%B4%B0%E2%B5%9C_%E2%B5%8F_%E2%B5%93%E2%B5%99%E2%B5%8E%E2%B4%B0%E2%B5%8D_%E2%B5%8F_%E2%B5%A1%E2%B5%89%E2%B4%BD%E2%B5%89%E2%B4%B1%E2%B5%89%E2%B4%B7%E2%B5%A2%E2%B4%B0_(English_as_the_second_interface_language)

MediaWiki has no concept of "second interface language". Can you clarify what is that the community wants with this request?
Hi @Nikerabbit, we mean by "the second interface language" the display language of non translated messages. For now on zgh.wikipedia.org all the non translated messages are displayed in Taqbaylit.
Do you want to remove fallback Taqbaylit language, https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/dcd8a21d561fb0d5272ed9ea4f33b62d5b84a64a/languages/messages/MessagesZgh.php#L10 , so that it displays english translation for non-translated system messages

[mediawiki/core@master] Remove `kab` as fallback language for `zgh`
Will it be useful to have kab as a default assistant language in translatewiki? Translations into assistant languages are shown in the sidebar whnj they are available. Some other assistant languages I can think of are: Standard Arabic (ar), Moroccan Arabic (ary), French, Tashelhit. Do you want any of these?
Hi @Amire80, thank you about your prompt help.
According to the community concesnus, they all prefer the English language
I understand, and I have already merged the patch that will make English your fallback language. It will be enabled on zgh.wikipedia soon.
I am asking about something else. I'm asking which languages should be shown by default in the sidebar on translatewiki.net when people are translating the user interface. If kab is removed as the fallback language, nothing will be shown there. If that's what you want, it's OK. But I suggest to show some languages there, in case translators know them better than English. (English will be shown there in any case.)
OK. Just to verify: No need for Standard Arabic (ar) or Moroccan Arabic (ary)? They can all be used together.
