Yes, that's cool. So we don't need any external dependencies for that. It just feels a bit wrong to use brute force to find out which languages are supported by Intl. |
Yeah, but js engine local only and at build time. So 🫣 |

This is replacing the non-functioning concept script (
gen_word_error_correction.js) with a working one (gen_word_error_correction.mjs) that is integrated into the build process 🥳It retrieves all month and week names from the Intl API and packs them together with the manual definitions (in
word_error_correction_manual.yaml) intoword_error_correction.yaml.This means that we support over 240 languages with that, compared to only a handful previously 🤯 And we don't even have to worry about maintaining the strings, as they are always queried dynamically during the build 😁
Example
Before, the string
月曜日-金曜日 09:00-17:00was not usable.Before

Short names
With my last commit, I also added short names. However, I had to filter out ambiguous names because there were too many of them. Without filtering them out, we would receive a large number of such warnings:
I'm really glad to be creating this PR now. It took me a lot of time 😴. Since the tests look good, I'd actually like to merge it right away. But since it's quite a significant change, I'll wait a little for your feedback @ypid 🙂
