lektor-fixedlang 0.5

Why?

It might be the case that a document contains words or phrases that are in a language other than the current document’s language. If not marked properly, these parts will be processed using an incorrect language’s rules (such as for case conversion and hyphenation), and screen readers will pronounce them aloud incorrectly. For example, in Turkish, the uppercase form for i is İ, and the lowercase form for I is ı. If you use the word “Wikipedia” in Turkish text, a text-transform: uppercase CSS rule will cause it to be displayed as “WİKİPEDİA”.

To prevent this, such pieces of text have to be marked using a lang attribute, as in <span lang="en">Wikipedia</span>. This can of course be done manually when writing the content, but that’s going to be inconvenient for content writers, and it can also be easily overlooked.

Installation

To use the plugin, add it to your project:

lektor plugin add lektor-fixedlang

The plugin can be configured using the configs/fixedlang.ini file. Every section is the language code of the patterns in that section. Keys are insignificant except that they have to be unique in their sections.

Example:

[en]
1 = Wikipedia
