[lokhi]

[lk-geimfari]

@lokhi Of course! If something is missing (in fr folder) , then add, please. If something in data is a wrong then fix this, please. Thank you very much!

[auyer]

I can help with Brazilian Portuguese !

[lk-geimfari]

@auyer It would be awesome! I added folder for pt-br locale. Please, check out what data we need. Thank you for your contribute!

[Hellowlol]

much of the data from countries can be found on Wikipedia. Like list of cites, names etc. would be nice to use a script to fix this

[lk-geimfari]

@Hellowlol Yeah, i use BeautifulSoup for grabbing some data from another sites. For grabbing from Wikipedia i've used Chrome extension that helped copping a column from a table.

[jackmcmorrow]

Hey @auyer ! I want to help with ptbr too! Hit me up and we can work on it together!

[jackmcmorrow]

Here is a list of brazilian cities with more than 100.000 inhabitans. That's 300+ names in a table.

[jackmcmorrow]

Oops, forgot the link https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_municípios_do_Brasil_acima_de_cem_mil_habitantes

[auyer]

@jackmcmorrow Sure ! Thanks ! I'll push my changes to my fork. You can make PRs there ! https://github.com/auyer/church

[yebrahim]

Are you looking for RTL languages too?

[lk-geimfari]

@yebrahim Yes, but I don't know how to work with these data. So, if you know how to add data for RTL locale correctly then i support your decision.

[theomessin]

Want to help with Greek!

[lk-geimfari]

@theomessin Perfect! Let me know when you can do it, please. I can add needed folder and json files

[theomessin]

@lk-geimfari If you could just add the folder and json files that'd be great! I'll start as soon as possible 😄

[lk-geimfari]

@theomessin Oh, okay. I add all needed tonight. Σας ευχαριστούμε!

[lk-geimfari]

@theomessin I added folder and files for Greek.

[modkaffes]

@theomessin @lk-geimfari I'd like to help with greek too! I've started work here. @theomessin, want to split files?

[lk-geimfari]

@modkaffes It's great! Thank you!

[lk-geimfari]

When you add a new language, take into account #47

[cleac]

@lk-geimfari hi, I can help with Ukrainian language :smile: Currently have some work to do, but in a week I'll have a plenty of time

[lk-geimfari]

@cleac It's great! Thank you!

[redus]

need help with CJK langs? could provide some help as well

[lk-geimfari]

@redus If you can add all data completely for one locale which you want it would be really awesome! Thank you!

[snus-kin]

I can help with English (GB). I'll give it a look in a while.

[lk-geimfari]

@Uncleleech It would be great. Thank you!

[snus-kin]

@lk-geimfari quick question, does cities include everything (towns, villages) or just cities. I see in the En-Us there is everything but in the UK the definition of city is pretty specific.

Can I just add another list of 'towns' or will this break stuff?

EDIT: Further, what are called 'states' in the US are somewhat equivalent to 'counties' here Not sure what to do here either.

[lk-geimfari]

@Uncleleech Do this, as will be better for UK (add towns, cities and villages to one section city as in other locales)

Regarding the 'states', then they are called "subjects" in Russian, "province" in some other countries. We use the 'states' for all locales in JSON, so it was easier to work with data.

[jasonwaiting-dev]

I can help with Japanese & Chinese. Have a quick question, there are full width & half width characters in Japanese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-width_kana How should I deal with different character sets in elizabeth? I will create full width version first.

[lk-geimfari]

@jasonwaiting-dev You can use ko (Korean) as example. Unfortunately, I never worked with the Chinese and Japanese.

[redus]

@jasonwaiting-dev I was unaware there was a difference between the two in Japanese and have no idea how often it's used.

I think the best way should be just provide the full width version first. If the need arises, make a separate locale like ja-half, unless there is an algorithm switching between the two then we should make it available at specific_providers.py

[jasonwaiting-dev]

@redus it's kind of strange coz some old systems, especially banking systems, in japan are still using half-width characters in database, e.g. アイウエオ (full width) becomes ｱｲｳｴｵ (half width).

I agree that we should just provide full width version at this moment. I am creating jp version now.

[redus]

@jasonwaiting-dev are you making alphanumeric full-width as well? I don't know full-width alphanumeric characters are used or not as well (ＡＢＣＤ０１２３). I believe simple dictionary from full width char to half width char should do it, without any separate locale.

[jasonwaiting-dev]

@redus sorry for the late reply. Both full-width and half-width alphanumeric characters are being used in Japan. I notice that the usage of half-width alphanumeric characters with full-width japanese characters is more popular now but I can still find a number of webpages using full-width characters only. I think I'll stick to half-width alphanumeric with japanese characters atm.

believe simple dictionary from full width char to half width char should do it, without any separate locale.

yes, we may discuss how to deal with this later. I think we only have this problem in japanese locale.

[jlwt90]

Hi @lk-geimfari, I can help on Chinese translation. There are a numbers of variations in Chinese language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_as_an_official_language).

I think I'll start with People's Republic of China version.

[lk-geimfari]

@jlwt90 That's great! Thank you!

I made a PR for Turkish #122

[PaulWaltersDev]

Hello All, would you mind if I could create a locale for English (AU)? It would be largely similar to English (GB) except for place and state names, postcode, some business details, a few unique swear words and Aus word spellings.

I'm also French-speaking so can help in that area if you wish.

[lk-geimfari]

@PaulWaltersDev We already have have en-au and fr. Can you check correctness of fr and update en-au?

[PaulWaltersDev]

@lk-geimfari

Regarding en-au, I had a look at elizabeth/data (master branch) and saw only json files for en and en-gb. Neither of them have Australia--specific content. Where can I find it?

I am happy to check en-au and fr. Will let you know when it's done. :-)

[lk-geimfari]

@PaulWaltersDev Oh, sorry i forget remove en-au from .gitignore file. Check it now, please.

[PaulWaltersDev]

@lk-geimfari

No probs. Got the latest version now and made additions to en-au. Will test, commit and push for your perusal.

I'm English so might also have a go at checking en-gb for any errors.

[lk-geimfari]

@PaulWaltersDev Okay. Thank you!

[PaulWaltersDev]

@lk-geimfari Just committed updates to en-au (all except datetime.json which is perfect as it is). Please see commit comments and let me know what you think.

[lk-geimfari]

@PaulWaltersDev Of course, but where i can look at your commits? You have only two repositories and and Elizabeth was not among them.

[PaulWaltersDev]

@lk-geimfari sorry, not had a lot of experience with Github and it shows. You can see the Elizabeth repository and changes now. Submitted a pull request with details included.

[uvegla]

Hi @lk-geimfari, I would like to contribute to the hungarian language. If that is okay I will start with a pull request on some basic missing things like the alphabet, colors etc. then move on to chemical elements and so on.

[lk-geimfari]

@uvegla It would be awesome! Current version of hungarian has been added by myself. I hope that is not too awful. Check it all, please. Thanks!

[zelds]
