🐞 PROGRAM
🐛 Forgot to mention our translator to Japanese
🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Japanese translation, still in beta condition
No L10n concatenations in a couple strings; harder to translate but more flexible on non-European typography
Simplified making long alphabets by splitting into sequential parts
Sticking blocks together (Greek, arrows…) and custom sorting (previously used for Ol Chiki < Ol Onal < Old Klingon, now for Japanese kanji→kana) work together
Legacy computing, variation selectors, shapes, punctuation stick together
Ct+Sh+W shows “sorting telltales” to debug localization
Slower but more reliable internationalization of numbers
Terms may be sorted by English name, primarily for complex languages like Japanese
Characters in Number Forms’ description were tofu sometimes (relied on font substitution)
⚙ TECHNICAL
SVG icons may be repainted to any colour now, that’ll allow easier reskinning. Done now in RtL Asia, new kana and four special icons. Making a new colour pair was hard, one pilot icon looked good but multiple didn’t. Did not touch PNG icons: they are really few and can be fixed afterwards.
Version may consist of 4 numbers, mostly for pre-releases
