Ryan, Rob and WikiTechans,
How can we build such "Pig Latin" language innovation potential into a wiki UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR - e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - and in all 7,097 + languages - in http://www.ethnologue.com/world - and also re 7943 entries+ in Glottolog for languages - http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language - but newly in MediaWiki WUaS - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/index.php?title=Languages - which you greatly helped to install on Jan 6, 2016, Ryan! Thank you! (This languages' page was formerly http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages) And how can we build this now also with Wikidata in 300 Wikipedia languages (and also building on Content Translation and Google Translate)?
Thanks too to WMF's Rob Lanphier for beginning a new #WorldUnivandSch IRC channel in the Wikidata office hour last Wednesday! WUaS will plan to hold office hours at 3pm PT to begin (just after the Wednesday at 2pm PT Wikidata office hour in #wikimedia-office). Unfortunately this Wednesday I won't be able to attend because I'll be at a Stanford Law China Guiding Cases Project and re the China Law School at World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/China_Law_School_at_WUaS - planned in Mandarin and possibly other Chinese languages. CC MIT OCW is in Mandarin - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - and CC WUaS is developing with CC MIT OCW in 7 languages+.
Rob, suggestions for good ways to develop CC WUaS MediaWiki / Wikidata in this #WorldUnivandSch IRC chat channel beyond the two questions I posted on Wednesday when you began this momentous channel, which questions people will also find here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/03/cyclamen-questions-posed-to-wikime... ? Would you be able please to keep an eye on this #WorldUnivandSch IRC chat channel at times and re Wikimedia developers? Thank you!
Best, Scott

On a somewhat serious note, I'm a big fan of enabling pig Latin as a language variant in enwiki. It would allow out SFO developers to familiarize themselves with how language converter works, in a script they can (mostly) read and understand. It also is *almost but not quite* reversible (consider "ashway", which could correspond to both "wash" and "ash"), another property it had in common with many real script transliterations (often one script will have upper/lowercase distinctions which are not written in the other script, for example), so it is a useful test case when thinking about how visual editor (say) ought to work with variants.
So while you enjoy your igpay atinlay today, spare a thought or two for the real internationalization issues it resembles. --scott On Apr 1, 2016 11:44 AM, "Ryan Kaldari" rkaldari@wikimedia.org wrote:
Due to popular demand, I've implemented a patch to dynamically convert
all
Wikipedia content into Pig Latin. Give it a try and let me know what you think: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/280927/
Note that this implementation is language agnostic, but it works best
with
Latin scripts. For those of you looking for support for Pig Latin as a language variant, try Liangent's patch instead: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/72053/
