Create Croatian, Serbo-Croatian, and Bosnian Analysis Chains Using Serbian Morphological Libraries
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It should be possible to deploy the Serbian analysis chain with the Serbian stemmer (or some variant) to the Serbo-Croatian (sh/442K Wikipedia articles), Croatian (hr/185K Wikipedia articles), and Bosnian (bs/77K Wikipedia articles) wikis. (See the English Wikipedia article on Serbo-Croatian; the standard varieties of the language differ, but have the same basic grammar, so the stemmer should do as good a job on them as on Serbian.)

The task here is to review the results of the analysis chain and make sure there aren't any surprises. Then, we can re-index wikis in these three languages.

Everything looks good to me with the Serbian analyzer and ICU folding enabled, but need speaker review. If everything looks good to them, then I'll deploy the analysis chain and then re-index the relevant wikis.

Full write up is on Mediawiki.

Speaker feedback is positive, and we are good to go on that front. However, we're refactoring the plugin that provides the analysis, so we're going to finish that and get the Serbian wikis all sorted out (T193734) before enabling this for Croatian, Serbo-Croatian, and Bosnian.

And I just realized that we moved from waiting on speaker feedback to waiting on plugin refactoring, so back to Waiting status for now!
