I have added some additional code to my bot to create more localized labels.
Simple Example:
My bot creates an item containing a german (de) label that contains the
letter "ß". Then my bot additional creates a label for "de-ch" having
this letter replaced by "ss".
What i am not sure about is how to handle wikis having language
variants. Lets take
<http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0>
as example page.
What my bot know is:
* srwiki page title is "Википедија"
* label in "sr-ec" is "Википедија"
* label in "sr-el" is "Vikipedija"
* srwiki has local language code "sr" and displays variant sr-ec by default
So which labels should i add to wikidata for an item linking this srwiki
page? Only sr-ec and sr-el?
Or should i additionally add a label using code sr having the same
content as sr-ec?
Merlissimo
P.S.: If different wikis have the same language code like enwiki and
simplewiki (and specieswiki when enabled) my algorithm is not
deterministic in choosing a normalized title as label. The normalized
titles of the other wikis having the same language code are added as
aliases. I hope that is ok.
