Chinese collation is complex, not least because different Chinese-speaking
regions have different customary collations. The KangXi order favoured by
Unicode standards is rarely used in any region, except in dictionaries.
Liangent has prepared a core branch which allows multiple category collations
to coexist on a single wiki, with selectable sort order on category pages. I
helped develop the architecture.
One of the collations considered essential for Chinese wikis is a latin sort of
the pinyin transliteration. We will need to upgrade to ICU 4.8 to support this
collation.
This bug tracks the tasks needed for merge of the chinese-collation branch and
the deployment of a suitable multi-collation configuration on the Chinese
Wikipedia.
