Summary: establish tests to catch non-Traditional Chinese
mainstream characters
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jida...@jidanni.org
Hello. There are a few non-Taiwan variant characters that have crept
into the Taiwan message files.
This is a different bug that just plain translating.
It involves adding another layer of caution to catch things even a good
translations would miss.
The translations are fine, it is just that a final test must be added
to catch very similar looking wrong characters.
They are not Unicode variants, no, but instead characters that have
never been seen before in Taiwan, as shown by the fact they don't make
the round trip to big5 and then back to Unicode. They are typos for
the common Taiwan version. For example, they are not simplified
Chinese 钩 present in GB2312, nor the common Taiwan version present in
big5, 鉤, but instead a third variant: 鈎.
What I am hoping you will do is add a test to make sure such
characters don't again creep in again.
The test should say "**Non Taiwan characters found in file ...;
Please pick the Taiwan versions (e.g., replace 鈎 with 鉤) before
this version of MediaWiki can be released**" die(1);
Here is the makefile I used:
d=/var/lib/mediawiki/languages/messages
v:$d/MessagesZh_hant.twdiff $d/MessagesZh_tw.twdiff
%.twdiff:%.php
iconv -ct big5 $?|iconv -f big5|diff -U0 $? -|sed /^@@/d
Note that it is crude, in that it also catches superscript numbers
etc., though all we want to be on the lookout for is the Chinese
characters.
And here is the results. You will notice the missing characters
are the ones that didn't make the round trip to big5 and back.
No I'm not just asking you to correct those characters and forget this
bug.
I'm saying that a test needs to be added to always catch such things
before each MediaWiki release can proceed.
Also consider extending the test to MessagesZh_classical.php etc.
(Lastly, this is not a diff to be applied to anything!)
make v
iconv -ct big5 /var/lib/mediawiki/languages/messages/MessagesZh_hant.php|iconv
-f big5|diff -U0 /var/lib/mediawiki/languages/messages/MessagesZh_hant.php
-|sed /^@@/d
