SPACING characters for separating THAI sentences are MISSING.

[hiohlan]

💡 Summary

Since Thai can omit punctuation marks, sentence separation relies on spacing and context (even commas are rarely used unless absolutely necessary).

According to this attached picture.

When I translate in Crowdin, it splits sentences normally. However, when exporting to the live website, some spacing characters are lost. I'm not sure what the cause of this problem is.

🥰 Expected Behavior

There should be Thai sentence spacing characters as shown in Crowdin.
E.g. ไม่ การพัฒนา Misskey ดำเนินการโดยบุคคลทั่วไป (~ No, Misskey development is carried out by individuals.)
(The spacing characters I’m referring to are normal ASCII spaces (U+0020).)

🤬 Actual Behavior

Spacing characters are missing, causing sentences to be unintentionally jumbled and resulting in translation errors.
E.g. ไม่การพัฒนา Misskey ดำเนินการโดยบุคคลทั่วไป (~ Misskey development is not carried out by individuals.)

From what I've observed, there seems to be a problem on almost every Thai translated page.

📝 Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Thai translation file for about-misskey.md in Crowdin.
2. Open the rendered Thai translated of About Misskey page or generated MD file in this repo.
3. Notice that the content does not match.

This is due to the fact that Japanese sentences do not include a space after punctuation marks. Crowdin is unable to handle this properly, and spaces are no longer inserted between sentences.
For languages where punctuation is clearly identifiable (languages with punctuation), spaces are automatically inserted inside Misskey Hub's transformation plugin, but when there is no punctuation, it is extremely difficult for Misskey Hub to handle as we can't easily identify where the end of the sentence.

I'll share this problem with Crowdin

According to the content in the link you sent.
Even though the original Japanese text is modified to include a space character at the end of the sentence in Crowdin, it can only warn the translator that they must add the space character at the end of the sentence themselves.

So the solution is that I have to add the spaces at the end of the sentence myself, right?

However, if there is no modification to the original Japanese text, how should we inform other Thai translators to add a space character at the end of the sentence or enforce the use of punctuation marks?

No, that will cause unintended consequences in the future. We are planning to go through the second option (add space internally when import to Crowdin)
