Module talk:sa-convert

@AryamanA Hello. I tried to take what you did with Pali and create a converter for Devanagari to all the various scripts for Sanskrit. Started with Gujarati, but I can't get the module to work exactly how I'd like it. Check my contributions to see what I've made changes to. DerekWinters (talk) 08:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Also, @Wyang if you can make any sense of my mess. DerekWinters (talk) 08:33, 13 May 2018 (UTC) @DerekWinters: Should be working now. The Pali transcription was not my idea or creation btw, it was made by @Octahedron80, who might be able to help out here as well. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 13:39, 13 May 2018 (UTC) @AryamanA: Oh, whoops. Thanks though! DerekWinters (talk) 13:39, 13 May 2018 (UTC) @AryamanA What did you do with the vowel diacritics to get them to adjoin properly? DerekWinters (talk) 14:27, 13 May 2018 (UTC) @DerekWinters: I used the Gujarati equivalents from AP:Unicode/Gujarati. Same for virama, candrabindu, visarga, and anusvara. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 14:36, 13 May 2018 (UTC) @Wyang Hello! Please help if you can. Adding {{sa-alt}} to any Sanskrit page (currently I'm trying मेघ (megha)) creates an error saying: Lua error: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) Backtrace: [C]: in function "v" mw.ustring.lua:84: in function "gsub" Module:sa-convert:126: in function "translit" Module:sa-headword:31: in function "chunk" mw.lua:511: ? [C]: ? I'm not yet good enough to figure out how to fix the gsub issue. DerekWinters (talk) 21:15, 13 May 2018 (UTC) Test: @DerekWinters Good to see this being created, it seems to be quite an ambitious (but worthwhile) project. :) I've made the errors and currently unsupported languages go away. Some of the codes in sa-convert are not listed as a script for Sanskrit at the moment, hence undisplayed. By the way, I wrote the first version of Module:pi-Latn-translit... but this module is using a different type of input and logic. It would be good to have the reverse function of this module in place in Module:sa-translit (or elsewhere), to handle the Assamese-script Sanskrit links in Assamese etymologies, currently manually linked to their Devanagari equivalents. Wyang (talk) 09:31, 14 May 2018 (UTC) @Wyang: Thank you! I'm very excited for this to come to fruition. @AryamanA, could you add some of these (at least Java, Bali, Saur, and Tirh) to Sanskrit? Also, because Assamese uses a different subset than Bengali, how would we handle them being separate (particularly for Assamese vs Bengali script Sanskrit links in etymologies)? DerekWinters (talk) 15:18, 14 May 2018 (UTC) Also, I'm not sure how to handle the reverse function, especially because not all Devanagari letters have equivalents in other scipts (most frequently, ळ and ऽ (avagraha) are missing). DerekWinters (talk) 15:56, 14 May 2018 (UTC) @DerekWinters: Yep, added the script codes to MOD:languages/data2. I had the same problem while adding Gurmukhi transliteration; I think Devanagari to other scripts is good enough without reverse translit for now, since Devanagari is our standardized primary script for Sanskrit. Also, I'm not sure about linking to other script forms, is it necessary (or useful) to make entries for such a wide variety of script variants? —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 20:27, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
