[[en:User:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04016]] [[he:User:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04016]] Hallo! You probably noticed that titles in InterWiki links (mainly InterLanguage links to sister projects) are displayed differently then in the targer wiki due to the mismatch of the orientation type (LTR or RTL) of the wiki's. This report trays to offer a solution for most of the cases. Limitations when targets are routed trough more wiki's (as gateway wiki's) are handeled at the end. I assume that the InterWiki table should be expanded with information about the orientation (LTR, RTL or PRESERVE) of the target wiki. [[commons:]] and [[meta:]] would be associated with "LTR" but [[wikt:]] and [[news:]] would be associated with "PRESERVE" [[ar:]] [[fa:]] [[he:]] [[ur:]] [[yi:]] would be associated with "RTL" and most (if not all) of the other language prefixes would be associated with "LTR" A procedure which should fix the actual problems should do the following *only* at InterWiki links which targets orientation *"mismatchs"*: At RTL wiki they should embed the title in ‪ and ‬. http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04016#.E2.80.AA.26.238234.3B_and_.26.238236.3B.E2.80.AC The second example there is generated as [[ commons: ‪ User:File Upload Bot (Dori) ‬ ]] At LTR wiki they should embed the title in ‫ and ‬. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/04016#.E2.80.AA.26.238235.3B_and_.26.238236.3B.E2.80.AC The second example there is generated as [[ commons: ‫ אבטיפוס (להקה) ‬ ]] The generated links hould remain unchanged. Only the "alternate" text is adjusted and the link is rendered if displayed on the page. "Complications" with pipe links could be discussed later. Please note that in order to provide correct orientation for [[w:en:אבטיפוס (להקה)]] it would be neccessary to know the orientation of the *last* wiki. Maybe the "partial fix" would solve 80% of all affected links. regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] references: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202a/index.htm Unicode Character 'LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING' (U+202A) UTF-8 (hex) 0xE2 0x80 0xAA (e280aa) http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202b/index.htm Unicode Character 'RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING' (U+202B) UTF-8 (hex) 0xE2 0x80 0xAB (e280ab) http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202c/index.htm Unicode Character 'POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING' (U+202C) UTF-8 (hex) 0xE2 0x80 0xAC (e280ac)
Dear Reinhardt, A lot of bidi and RTL improvements have been made lately. Could you please update on the status of this request?
