--- Comment #8 from Nikola Smolenski <[email protected]> 2012-07-21 08:56:09 UTC --- As of right now on the demo, variant form is stored, but conversion is not done. I see no reason to transliterate to a canonical form on save. Rather, it should be possible to save in a variant form. If a variant form exists, it is displayed, and if not, it is transliterated from the canonical form (or perhaps another variant if there is no canonical form). It is in general not possible to use counting of characters because some variant forms might be the same - for example in Serbian abbreviations are often left in Latin alphabet, so something like "SCADA" is correct "Cyrillic" text. Perhaps a warning could be issued but nothing more than that. Besides, this character check is not done for languages that have no defined variants (for example, it is possible to save Japanese text in Romaji). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
