RADAR and Active Work Review
[19]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/projects/1
[19] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/projects/1
richard: worked on css align, very complex
... like a large math equation :-)
... maybe not much to worry about
... couple things, it's about aligning blocks inside another
block
... can do horizontally or vertically
... call the vertical alignment in horizontally laid text
... have properties like "align self" and "align content"
... or "jusitfy self" or "justify content"
... word 'justify' already confusing??
... and the section on baseline alignment is difficult to
understand when differnet script baselines in use
... editors aware of the problem obviously, but not obvious to
me how the baseline is chosen
... thinking of raising question

[22] http://www.w3.org/2017/08/31-i18n-minutes.html#action01
<trackbot> Created ACTION-647 - Send list of review items for
next week (pendings and close? items) [on Richard Ishida - due
2017-09-07].
richard: growing momentum to idea that mongolian handled
differently than currently in unicode
... ad hoc committee
... not sure why not on mongolian list
... will suggest that
... key proposal is "graphetic" approach
... if type sound a/aa/oo they all look the same
... confusing when typing
... useful to computers in distinguishing words
... all sorts of complex rules, such as gender of word
... you have one character for every shape (not quite that
simple)
... type what you see
<scribe> ACTION: richard: ask mongolian ad hoc group to use our
list [recorded in

Developments related to the gap-analysis matrix
<r12a>
[24]http://w3c.github.io/i18n-discuss/notes/language-matrix
[24] http://w3c.github.io/i18n-discuss/notes/language-matrix
richard: last week talked about above link (language matrix)
... graphical idea of where pain points are for world's
languages
... have to be careful about what languages chosen
... list is a bunch in alpha order by script tag
<r12a> [25]http://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/ethi
[25] http://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/ethi
richard: bit more flesh on bone for ethiopic/amharic
... only javanese last week
... ethiopic more developed, used ELReq
... more complete
... taking another step
... hebrew layout req and arabic layout req folks
... approach from this angle?
... send email to shervin
<r12a>
[26]http://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/arab-ar-fa
[26] http://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/arab-ar-fa
richard: click on arabic link
... probably add more pages for urdu, uighur. this covers ar/fa
... should help arabic layout folks zoom in on things that need
requirements
... idea is to use gap analysis to prompt to write requirements
... write down what does/doesn't work
... write tests to demonstrate
... and write reqs for things that don't work so know what to
do
... wanted to mention, since fuqiao is here
... try to reactivate chinese work
... maybe additional thing to consider there
... ask chinese experts "what's still missing"
david: what does level represent?
richard: level represents overall
... color says whether the language works or not on the web
... numbers are very kludgey
... added points for dark green, etc. and divided
... hokey, but gives some idea
jck: two suggestions
... comment at bottom welcoming analysis of other languages
richard: meant to do that and forgot
jck: under 'latn' you have "serbo-croatian"
... and no longer politically correct
WhatWG issue 2945 (hinting at translation for outgoing links)
[27]https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2945
[27] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2945
richard: the attribute as billed currently looks at the content
and tries to decide what to do based on content
... but should reflect preference of the user
... that's significant
... that makes a "loud clang"
... if you're reading hindi with the page translated
... and the link says "translate to hindi"
... second page in english would hint english
addison: don't see how page authors would use this
(much unminuted discussion)
David: another thing might be Referrer-Language
richard: worth thinking about, "there's been a change in
language here"
andrewc: spec out how browsers handle
david: think we conclude that bad to embed it
richard: easier to change language preferences and see them
... and maybe some way to signal language change
<xfq> +1 to david & richard
