Transliteration[edit]

Currently Υἱός is transliterated as Uhiós (because the spiritus is on the second vowel of the diphthong/digraph and is therefore separated when the first letter is bolded), but this isn't an accurate transliteration. It should really be hUiós, I guess, in this context. Coreydragon (talk) 08:10, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, the module isn't smart enough to handle this and we can't override automatic translit for AGr. Hopefully @Erutuon can solve this. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 08:29, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Or Huiós. Compare our transliterations of capital е, ё, ю, я in Russian: Je, Jo, Ju, Ja, not **jE, jO, jU, jA. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 08:56, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
That and ΙΧΘΥΣ (IKhThUS), which should be IKHTHUS rather than IKhThUS. I'd known about the capitalization problem, but didn't know of a case where it would crop up. I didn't think of wikitext or HTML markup. I would just remove the bolding in this case, but I s'pose it would be ideal if the module could handle it. — Eru·tuon 20:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Erutuon, a reminder. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:42, 3 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Metaknowledge: Sorry, this will probably require major rewriting and I don't feel like doing at at the moment. — Eru·tuon 06:39, 6 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
