Hello all, First of all, I should say since I'm not a native English speaker, there may be some rough English below. I apologize for any inconvenience. As you may know, we have two kind of Chinese characters, zh-hans and zh-hant. So per that we have a character converter on zhwiki. Now we have -{}- for single conversion, -{T|} for title conversion, -{A|}- for article-range conversion and a template {{noteTA}} for a better view. But since we are dealing with some templates, we found it's very disappointing because we can only use -{}- for many, many times since any other tag would effect on the rest of the article which transclude or substitute this template. So hereby we propose a -{R||} tag which only have effect on quoted texts. Maybe it can use like this: -{R|zh-cn:FOO; zh-tw:BAR;|Some FOO and some BAR.}- and it will only convert from "Some" to "BAR", with no effect on other text in the article, like "FOOBAR" here. So that we would easily deal with those conversions in a template. Thanks. Best regards, Jimmy Xu
