@AryamanA Thanks for this! Yes, the search function of that dictionary has an issue which I also encountered while trying to make {{R:khw:Bashir}} work. If a word is searched in the Arabic script, the search returns nothing. You need to search the word with diacritics (like نِشىک as opposed to نشىک). But diacritics in the entry title don't seem to be allowed for Dardic. RN I'm putting the transliterations in parameter 1 (because entering the searching translit in search works) and have made the template display the Arabic script word anyway. Is there a better way to do this? -- Bhagadatta (talk) 03:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @Bhagadatta: It seems they have some dictionaries (including this one) on an old search function, I had to do some really stupid tricks to get all the entries (I search for "a* OR b* OR c*...z*" to match all word definitions, download the page's HTML, then scrape the headwords with a script... which is why it took a bit longer than Berntsen/Bahri)
- So, Khowar links using
{{l}} etc. automatically strip the Arabic diacritics. If you want to disable that, I can (it's handled by MOD:languages/data3/k), but then all the current entries would have to be moved to diacritic-ed forms. The other option is, I think, pass the form with diacritics to the template? Let me know which you would prefer. I know diacritics are always written in Kashmiri so we don't strip them in links for it; is Khowar similar? —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 03:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @AryamanA: I was going to say, let's make the template grab the text in the "head=" parameter as that will include the diacritics but then I realized Khowar and other Dardic languages really seem to use the diacritics so I think we should have diacritics in the title for Dardic entries. (The first ever Torwali entry, created by someone else, also had diacritics). So if the title is already نِشىک, there will be no problem. Then I think no change to the template is needed, just the entries need to be moved. If you're ok with that I can start moving them right away -- Bhagadatta (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @Bhagadatta: Okay, so I removed diacritic stripping for Khowar and Torwali; let me know if any other languages need it. We can start moving the entries now. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 03:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
