About supported languages

Does 'emoji' support Chinese?

Hello, not yet. We are planning to add more languages after huge upgrade to version 2.0.0

I did some quick tests with Chinese included and so far I have not found any issues, so I am positive that we can add it in the near future

I think it would be more convenient to put the supported languages into different files.

From a maintenance perspective, I think the one big file is better. That file is generated and updated by a script. I have rarely changed a few entries by hand.

My only concern would be memory consumption. I don't know how much memory the module currently uses and if more languages make a big difference. It could make sense to split it into files, and only import the language once it is used to save memory.

@i-am-wyk Four questions:

emoji names with quotes in the name Example 🈳 unicode translation is 日文的“有空位”按钮 Emoji name could be :日文的“有空位”按钮: Is that ok? Or should we remove the “ ” or replace with different characters?
Country flags The flags are called likes this on emojiterra.com:
- 旗: 德国
- 旗: 美国
- 旗: 俄罗斯 How to transform these to emoji names? :旗_德国: or :旗德国: or maybe switch :德国旗:
Skin tones Example: 🙏🏼 unicode translation is 双手合十中等-浅肤色 Emoji name could be :双手合十_中等-浅肤色: Is that ok or maybe remove the underscore and dash :双手合十中等浅肤色:

Another example 🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏾 手拉手的两个人较浅肤色中等-浅肤色 Emoji name could be :手拉手的两个人_较浅肤色中等-浅肤色: Or :手拉手的两个人较浅肤色中等浅肤色:
Numbers for example 1️⃣, 2️⃣ :按键_2: or :按键2:

@cvzi Suggestion as follows:

just direct translate the english emoji words by words. It would be much easier. Keep the underscore and hyphen styles as the same as the English emoji text. It is easier for users to identify it is an emoji text. If _ is for the english space between words, like "folded_hands", "light_skins", in Chinese it would be no space.

"folded hands medium-light skin tone" this is not English "folded hands medium" this is not English "light skin tone" this is English "folded hands" this is English "medium" this is English

Once they are translated to Chinese, join them by underscore (or hyphen). "合手_中-浅肤色"

:Japanese_vacancy_button:

for chinese, :日文_空_按钮:

flag_for_xxxxx not xxxxx_flag; i think the original idea is to make everything prefix with "flag_" just follow it, but without preposition.

for chinese, :旗_德国:

I think keeping the _ should be good to differentiate as same as English.

:folded_hands_medium-light_skin_tone: for chinese, :合手_中-浅肤色:

In English "folded_hands" is kind of a word; medium is another word; light is adjective; "skin tone" is another kind of word. therefore, for chinese, NOUN_NOUN-AdjectiveNoun folded_hands => 合手 medium => 中 light => 浅 skin_tone => 肤色

:keycap_2: for chinese, :键_2:

键 means Key. I dont know why the english emoji is kepcap_2 not key_2, but I think for translation, key_2 is sufficient

@cvzi Suggestion as follows:

if the emoji text in english is just direct quoting, just translate word by word If _ is for the english space between words, like "folded_hands", "light_skins", in Chinese it would be no space.

Please note that this is just a prelim idea. In Chinese Inputing, the word typing is very popular. The final version might need to be longer to suit for this purpose.

To explain, as an illustration example only, "I eat an apple" = "IEAA"; "He writes Chinese" ="HWC" However I am not familiar with such inputing style.

Besides, If your team decides to add the simplified Chinese version, don't forget to add the traditional Chinese version.

It is not difficult. You can use my tool to do the translation. Should be 99% correct. https://culefa.github.io/tcsc/

Thank you!

I should have mentioned where the translations are from:

We take the translations from this file: https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/common/annotations/zh.xml and from this website https://emojiterra.com/copypaste/zh/ Then we transform them i.e. remove spaces and other symbols

From https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/common/annotations/zh.xml we usually take the one that has type="tts e.g. <annotation cp="😀" type="tts">嘿嘿</annotation> Usually these don't need to be transformed.

The ones from https://emojiterra.com/copypaste/zh/ often have spaces and colons and other symbols, that we need to remove.

Looks like the translations in https://emojiterra.com/copypaste/zh/ ~~are good~~ not too bad. just some formatting issues you need to convert to match the emoji text styles in this repo. even you keep all simplified Chinese characters same as their wordings should be fine. 男人: 中等-浅肤色红发 => :男人_中等-浅肤色红发:

PS. The translation source is kind of machine translation.... Need to review them all... need some Chinese volunteers... Or just implement first and let Chinese guys to ask for correction in Repo Issues.

Does 'emoji' support Chinese?

@i-am-wyk Or you want to add the pinyin ? like :fei_wen: instead of :飞吻: ?

Thank you!

For those tts,

yes, some contains symbols. just do a regexp replacement to underscore should be fine.

/[\u0021-\u002F\u003A-\u0040\u005B-\u0060\u007B-\u007E]/ (standard english symbols) /[\u3000-\u3003\u3008-\u300F\u3010-\u3011\u3014-\u3015\u301C-\u301]/ (chinese writing symbols)

the unicode in these two ranges change to underscore

/[\uFF01-\uFF5E]/ (fullwidth chars) this range deduce 65248 to become normal english chars

After these conversions, should be good to use.

I think they are machine translated. emojiterra.com probably uses the same file we use https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/common/annotations/zh.xml but because that file does not contain all emoji, they do some machine translating or transforming to create the remaining emoji. Translating these many combinations of skin color and hair color and combination of man + woman + boy and man + woman + girl etc. in a natural but still somehow uniform way is probably difficult.

男人: 中等-浅肤色红发 => :男人_中等-浅肤色红发:

Would it make sense to remove the hyphen (we don't need to follow the English version) add another underscore, to give it some uniform structure, since it is already not natural:

:男人_中等浅肤_色红发:
:男人_中等肤_色白发:

:男人_中等_浅肤色红发: should be fine. (or :男人_中等浅肤色红发:)

我认为不加下划线更符合中国人的语言习惯。 I think it is more in line with Chinese language habits to not add underline.

@cvzi I will answer your questions in both Chinese and English, because I think it might help you understand Chinese better.

1.我认为用:空:来表示🈳会更合适，因为这样更加易于使用，并且我周围的人基本上是用“空”来表示🈳。其他带引号的表情名称请列个清单，我将会帮你翻译。 I think it would be more appropriate to use :空: for 🈳 because it's easier to use and people around me basically use 'empty' for 🈳.For other emoji names with quotation marks, please make a list and I'll help you translate them.

2.Country flags 例如 🇨🇳 flag:China ，我认为应该用:中国:来表示更合适，因为在不同平台上他的样式不同，但它们都代表中国，不是吗？类似的, flag: United Kingdom -> :英国: flag: United States ->:美国:

For example, 🇨🇳 flag:China, I think it would be more appropriate to use :中国:, because it has different styles on different platforms, but they all represent China, don't they? Similarly, flag: United Kingdom -> :英国: flag: United States ->:美国:

3.Skin tones 这个问题有些复杂，我需要和我的朋友们讨论一下 This question is a bit complicated and I need to discuss it with my friends

4.Number 我建议使用:键_2:。 I advise using ':键_2:'.

其实，它只是把一句话中的每个单词的首字母放在了一起。 Actually, it just puts together the first letter of each word in a sentence.

Quick suggestion: replace all symbols with _, or just remove them all.

For example, 日文的“这里”按钮->日文的_这里_按钮, or 日文的“这里”按钮->日文的这里按钮.

They are only alias after all, and they should not be treated manually one by one. A unified naming style is more important in my opinion.

I personally prefer the former solution, because it seperates the words and is easier to read.

For example, ->, or ->.日文的“这里”按钮``日文的_这里_按钮``日文的“这里”按钮``日文的这里按钮

@FrzMtrsprt 我觉得”按钮“可以省略。 I think the "按钮" can be omitted.

Thank you for the feedback ❗

I made some lists to illustrate...

All of these are just suggestions, that I generated with a script. I added the English names for reference, but we do not have follow the English naming.

Let's start with the names from https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/common/annotations/zh.xml These translations were done by humans at unicode.org. unicode.org also releases updates every few months to fix wrong translations. Most of these should be fine. I just listed the ones from above discussion that may require some adapting.

Japanese Buttons:

I think the "shortest" version without 日文的 and 按钮 would be easiest to use and input. The question is if it would work for all of them. Does the third column make sense for all of them?

🉑   | :日文的“可接受”按钮:  | :可接受:         | :Japanese_acceptable_button:
🈸   | :日文的“申请”按钮:   | :申请:          | :Japanese_application_button:

🈁   | :日文的“这里”按钮:   | :这里:          | :Japanese_here_button:

🈵   | :日文的“没有空位”按钮: | :没有空位:        | :Japanese_no_vacancy_button:
🈳   | :日文的“有空位”按钮:  | :有空位:         | :Japanese_vacancy_button:
🈚   | :日文的“免费”按钮:   | :免费:          | :Japanese_free_of_charge_button:
🈶   | :日文的“收费”按钮:   | :收费:          | :Japanese_not_free_of_charge_button:
🈴   | :日文的“合格”按钮:   | :合格:          | :Japanese_passing_grade_button:
🈲   | :日文的“禁止”按钮:   | :禁止:          | :Japanese_prohibited_button:
㊙️  | :日文的“秘密”按钮:   | :秘密:          | :Japanese_secret_button:
🈂️  | :日文的“服务费”按钮:  | :服务费:         | :Japanese_service_charge_button:

English Buttons:

They are mostly uniformly named with the exception of the FREE button 🆓

🆒   | :cool按钮:     | :COOL_button:
🆕   | :new按钮:      | :NEW_button:
🆔   | :id按钮:       | :ID_button:
🆗   | :ok按钮:       | :OK_button:
🆓   | :免费按钮:     | :FREE_button:
...
(There are a few more buttons with English writing, I did not list all)

I don't know why FREE button 🆓 is different? (Maybe no reason and just two different people translated them without checking the other translation) I guess it could be changed to :free按钮: And maybe all of them should use all-uppercase? :COOL按钮:, :NEW按钮: ...

Blood type:

There is a underscore for 🅾️ but not the others. I'll just remove this underscore. Should we use the lowercase ab,a,b,o or uppercase AB,A,B,O And do you use the letter O or the number 0 for blood type in Chinese? In English it is the letter O but in some languages it is the number 0.

🆎   | :ab型血:     | :AB_button_(blood_type):
🅰️   | :a型血:      | :A_button_(blood_type):
🅱️   | :b型血:      | :B_button_(blood_type):
🅾️   | :o_型血:     | :O_button_(blood_type):

Countries:

I would prefer the short version without 旗_.

Some of them use the "official" name instead of the "common" name. These should be changed to the "common" name. For example: Hong Kong is the official :中国香港特别行政区:. But USA is :美国: and not the official:美利堅合眾國:

Combined emoji

The remaining "problems" are from "combined emoji". Two or more emoji combined then create a single symbol. Example:

      👪       +    👩          +    👦        =        👩‍👦
"family emoji"  + "woman emoji"  + "boy emoji"
   :家庭:             :女人:          :男孩:      =      :?:

There are lots of combinations, because each person can have a skin-tone. I left out the skin-tones for now, because it just too many combinations. I think we can do that later.

In general I think these should rather be uniform names then natural sounding names. So I am fine with generating these by computer rather than actually translating. The English names are unnatural as well.

[ Some of these emoji may be displayed separately for you. It just means browser or operating system don't support it yet. For example bald person is displayed separately for me: bald-person ]

Hair color

These were generated by using the name of the person emoji: 🧑 :成人: 👨 :男人: 👩 :女人: And the hair color emoji name 🦰 :红发: 🦱 :卷发: 🦳 :白发: 🦲 :秃顶:

The question here would be person name first or hair color first? And then underscore yes or no?

Couples

These were generated similarly by just combining 家庭 or 情侣 with all the people.

Same question, where should 家庭 or 情侣 be? At the beginning or at the end: And then underscore yes or no?

Countries: I would prefer the short version without 旗_.

Some of them use the "official" name instead of the "common" name. These should be changed to the "common" > name. For example: Hong Kong is the official :中国香港特别行政区:. But USA is :美国: and not the official:美利堅合眾國:

@cvzi In my opinion, the use of national translated names should be combined with local culture.

I think the "shortest" version without 日文的 and 按钮 would be easiest to use and input. The question is if it would work for all of them. Does the third column make sense for all of them?

Yes, all of them make sense. Some people maight be confused since many Chinese people use them as simple Chinese characters without knowing the Japanese meanings / origins behind them, so keeping the original character in the button might be a better choice.

I don't know why FREE button 🆓 is different? (Maybe no reason and just two different people translated them without checking the other translation) I guess it could be changed to :free按钮: And maybe all of them should use all-uppercase?

It's just that they translated FREE but didn't translate NEW and such. It's safe to replace them with their original names. Making them uppercase as the text in the button is can be a good idea.

Should we use the lowercase ab,a,b,o or uppercase AB,A,B,O And do you use the letter O or the number 0 for blood type in Chinese? In English it is the letter O but in some languages it is the number 0.

I think we should keep it inline with the emoji itself, and use capitalized characters. We use letter O for O-type blood.

The question here would be person name first or hair color first? And then underscore yes or no?

Same question, where should 家庭 or 情侣 be? At the beginning or at the end: And then underscore yes or no?

Putting the name of the object in front of the characteristics can help with sorting them by the names (so that similar emojis are grouped together), so I'd prefer person_hair over hair_person. I suggest keeping the underscore because it seperates 家庭 from 男人男人男孩男孩 and such, making it easy to tell which category the emoji belongs to. Removing the underscore makes the emoji name too long and a bit unreadable.

BTW, is there any difference between the :kiss: emojis and the :couple: emojis? In the chart :couple: is translated into kiss instead of :情侣:, was it translated that way in the translation file from unicode?

BTW, is there any difference between the :kiss: emojis and the :couple: emojis? In the chart :couple: is translated into kiss instead of :情侣:, was it translated that way in the translation file from unicode?

I made a mistake, the couple actually has no alone :couple: version, only the combined version with specific persons. I have removed that line.

But yes there is a slight difference, for the kiss emoji the persons make a "kissing face", see here for the enlarged versions: https://emojipedia.org/kiss-woman-man/ and https://emojipedia.org/couple-with-heart-woman-man/

I have looked at the Japanese buttons again:

The second column is the shown character. If anyone of you could check if they are correct, that would be good.

I suppose 🈁 and 🈂️ are Japanese katakana without a similar Simplified Chinese character, so in that case we still use the Chinese translation (third column). I am not sure about 🈺? Is there a Simplified Chinese character for it?

katakana ここ( koko) means "here". simplified chinese is "这里" -> 这サ　is　サービス(saabisu)　means "services". simplified chinese is "服务"

2 and 3 seem close enough to me, but 1 seems very different. In these three cases, do you think the average (Chinese) person knows that the Japanese emoji corresponds to the Simplified Chinese glpyh? If not, I think we should rather use the translation (third column) in these cases.

Yes I think every Chinese person would be able to tell which Simplified Chinese characters these emoji correspond to. They look so close that some may not even notice the difference.

无 is literarily equivalent to 無, they have the same usage since ancient times. Admittedly some of the Mainlanders may not recognise Traditional Chinese characters, but in that case they won't be able to tell what it means either, so :无: is fine to me. Also it might be difficult to type Traditional Chinese with some input methods so :無: might not be a good choice.

Also 無料 (free of charge, the translation in the list for 🈚) is a Japanese-only phrase, it does not make any sense in Chinese. A non Japanese speaker wouldn't know why 無 is connected with "free of charge", and this confusion applies to other emojis as well. So in my opinion the translations are the more confusing choice than using the character itself.
