Request for enabling new variants for Hakka language

@User:Nike,

Yes, just revert User:Anson2812's edits on Translatewiki (https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Anson2812) because he 'translated' the interface into chinese characters without asking anyone on Hakka Wikipedia for permission first. He himself has stopped contributing on Hakka wikipedia since July 29, 2014.

The Hakka interface should be in Romanized Hakka by default because 97% of the articles there are written in Romanized Hakka.

Anson2812's translations should really be made in hak-hant (Hakka in traditional characters).

Nike, could you create hak-hant on Translatewiki? In this way, if any Hakka wants to view the interface in Hakka Han characters, then they would be able to customize their preferences to hak-hant instead of overriding the previous Hakka Latin orthography.

Thanks.

You no longer need to revert his changes because I will soon have his changes completely overwritten. so please do not undo his changes because it would aid in my translation to the Hakka latin orthography.

Please do create "hak-hant" and (if possible), have all his edits pasted into hak-hant.

What about hak-hans? How do you think about phab:T57876?

Yes, hak-hans should be created as well.

As for phab:T57876, User:PiRSquared17 noted that he needed to go through Code Review of all the vocab edits made to the transliteration editor to iron out all the bugs before he would implement it. He said that it would take several weeks (or more likely, several months) before it could be ready.

In reality, I think he does not have that much time on his hands at the moment for him to Code Review so this would need to be out on hold until he has the time (or until another member of wikimedia is interesting in helping).

In the meantime, I think enabling the hak-hant and hak-hans option should be the main priority because this would enable Hakka users who wish to have a Han character interface to translate the interface on hak-hant and select hak-hant or hak-hans on their individual preferences when they are logged on to Hakka Wikipedia.
