To fix
[edit]Need to fix handling of "е" - "je" after vowels, beginning of a word, ь and ъ, "e" - otherwise. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:20, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Broken for traditional Mongolian script as used in Inner Mongolia, China
[edit]I'm currently in Ulaanbaatar after having passed through Inner Mongolia.
I'm learning a bit of the language and the traditional script.
This module is broken for traditional script:
- It forces a transliteration even when one is provided.
- It forces a transliteration even if script is specified as "Mong" in the various templates.
- The traditional script spellings are less phonetic than the Cyrillic ones and often have redundant silent letters which should be reflected in a transliteration but not in a phonetic transcription.
Let's start improving the situation. — hippietrail (talk) 17:42, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
- I added a function to transliterate the traditional Mongolian script, open to improvement. Wyang (talk) 14:57, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Wyang: I just noticed that Manchu doesn't have automatic transliteration, although it should be possible to do so. Would this module be sufficient to transliterate it? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:06, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge We probably need a separate module for that. Most entries in Category:Manchu lemmas seem to be using the Möllendorff transliteration scheme, so I created Module:mnc-translit using that scheme. Please help check. Thanks! Wyang (talk) 00:28, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm afraid I can't read Mongolian script, but it looks good, since all the testcases have passed. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:38, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
