@Erutuon Hi. Could you please add Arabic punctuation symbols, please! Like ؟, ، and ؛?  :) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:01, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Atitarev: Added those; Western ,;? will be transformed to their Arabic equivalents. (I can change that if there are situations in which the Western punctuation marks would be wanted.) — Eru·tuon 17:19, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

More requests for Arabic

[edit]

@Erutuon. Hi. Could you add ـٰ () and the "Allah" ligature للّٰه, please? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:40, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to be able to enter بِٱللّٰهِ (bi-l-lāhi), وَٱللّٰهِ (wal-lāhi) or ذٰلِكَ (ḏālika). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:49, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Have any suggestions for what the shortcuts for these should be? I'm trying to figure something out that would make sense... — Eru·tuon 07:03, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Okay, an idea: L for the Allah ligature (reminding one of the fact that it has an emphatic l) and _a for the superscript alif. — Eru·tuon 07:05, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, sounds very good. Sorry for not giving the ideas. I wasn't sure myself if there are good substitutes.
I'm planning to use it more extensively for Arabic entries, so more requests are coming, if it's OK.
Are you open for requests on other languages? Is e.g. Korean RR romanisation (very consistent) to hangeul possible (by syllable blocks)? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:12, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Erutuon Perhaps the underscore _ should be reserved for ـ ?--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:15, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev: Currently the taTwiil is typed using hyphen. I can change the shortcut, if you have an alternative. — Eru·tuon 07:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Erutuon Thanks! Now I got the usual spelling (not a single character) of "Allah" with {{subst:chars|ar|All_ah}}: اللّٰه. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
