Hi,

I made a language file for chinese now and installed it on the server.So please have a try:

http://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/
Yours Dirk


PS:The language file:
\HyphSubstLet{ngerman}{ngerman-x-latest}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{WenQuanYi Zen Hei}
\newcommand{\mychapterbabel}{章}
\newcommand{\mypagebabel}{页}
\newcommand{\myfigurebabel}{图形}
\newcommand{\mylangbabel}{chinese}

I failed to compile your document in it's original form:

! Undefined control sequence.
\initiate@active@char #1->\bbl@ifshorthand
{#1}{\bbl@s@initiate@active@char ...
l.585 \initiate@active@char{~}

and I worked around it by commenting out \usepackage[english]{babel}in ../headers/babel.tex


In my experiment I added:

\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{WenQuanYi Zen Hei}

to main.tex after \usepackage{fontspec}, and it improves CJKtypesetting a lot.

WenQuanYi Zen Hei is contained inhttps://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-wqy-zenhei

    Hi,
    I am sending you the latex source of the main page of the chinese
    wikipedia as attachment.
    You can look at it. But if you want to compile it you need to have
    ubuntu 14.04 and do
    sudo apt-get install mediawiki2latex
    xelatex main.tex
    Yours Dirk

    I hope that it's available on the web, is it possible to add a
    checkbox or something?

        Hi,
        I didn't take any special care about CJK. Its a bit hard for
        me since I cannot read any of these languages myself. Maybe
        you can have a look at the LaTeX source and tell me what I
        need to change. Currently no CJK package is loaded. The only
        thing I am doing is to switch to ttf fonts that contain CJK
        characters when I need to print them. Also I am using babel
        packages. For some languages I get proper hyphenation this
        way, but apparently something does not work here for Chinese.
        Yours Dirk

I had a try using an article on Chinese Wikipedia. Although
I'm not sure whether the cause is in generated LaTeX source
or the way you invoke LaTeX, the most notable problem is
that in output PDF, word wrap doesn't take place correctly
so almost every line overflows. See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_wrap#Word_wrapping_in_text_containing_Chinese.2C_Japanese.2C_and_Korean
for more information.

Hi,
if you want the tex source go for the command line
version and use the -c command line option. If you want
to convert from tex to mediawiki use pandoc. In the
imprint of each pdf there is a link to the sourceforge
page. Its slow, but I cannot make it any faster. Its
mostly the runtime of LaTeX itself. I already invested
two weeks in optimizing speed. In particular its using
multiple cores, while in my code. But well there is not
much you can do with multiple cores when running LaTeX
itself. You could actully get some speed by using native
cores, but the administration is not that easy. It also
says on the main page that it will take up to ten minutes.

I would probably link to the source code and a bug
tracker on its main page.
- I see it generated a PDF. Nicely formatted. :) But
the TeX source would be also useful.
- It would be nice to be able to convert back from
tex to wiki markup also.
- It also appears to be dog slow (about 5 minutes).
