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 -

? 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.

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:

Cheers,
