--- Comment #160 from Stu Derby <[email protected]> 2010-03-12 01:32:28 UTC --- Re: comment 159 While the suggested patch clearly dramatically improves the page title sorting, it doesn't make it 100% correct for all "European languages" though it may make it so for some, and I think it would be an improvement for all but the Nordic languages. The different European languages have different and conflicting collation sequences; no single order will work for all of them. For example: German speakers expect "Ö" and "O" to collate as equivalents; Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes expect "Ö" to be treated as a separate letter that sorts after "Z". French has an unusual collation rule; the last accent on a word is more significant than the first, leading to this collation: cote < côte < coté < côté. This is unique to French, so far as I know. Hungarian sorts the combination "dzs" after the combination "dz" (i.e. "foodzsbar" should sort before "foodzbar" in Hungarian). In Estonian, "Z" sorts as an equivalent to "S". Etc. etc. etc. The suggested patch may be very appropriate for individual Wikimedia installations, but is not so as part of the proper fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
