Request for enabling new variants for Hakka language
Was this discussed with the Wikimedia language committee? It may also be preferred to use automated script conversion for Hakka in this case, but we need people to actually implement that.
Are you serious? Automated script conversion for Hakka is not as simple as conversion from Arabic to Cyrillic to Latin. For example, this comprehensive Chinese character to Hakka online dictionary consists of 58,592 words or characters. Is there a department on Wikimedia which can help assist that?
By the way, there is an online Han-viet conversion tool (by clicking on the "Phiên âm 翻音" subheader) which converts entire Chinese character articles into the Romanized Vietnamese pronounciation. However that is for Vietnamese, not Hakka. No such automated script conversion for Hakka exists yet but I know some Hakka who might be willing to aid in creating this conversion system. This can prevent and avoid future script conflicts between Hakka users of different script preferences.
Thanks for your information. However, we don't know the standard procedure because we just want to add the new scripts for Hakka language despite adding a new language in Wikipedia.
Even if such a tool was eventually created, it has to be converted from Chinese characters to Romanized Hakka; not the other way around. Because certain romanized pronounications. For example, the word "sṳ" could mean "事" or "視" or "市" or "世" or "勢" or "示" or "士" and the list goes on for many other different words as well. This makes Romanized Hakka to Han Character Hakka conversion implementation to be impossible.
The conversion system must be from Chinese characters to Romanized Hakka. I humbly request you to enable the translation to hak-hant or hak-hans to be allowed.
