Description

Hello.

I found wrong Josa on Babel ko-kp.

In Korean language, Josa "은", "이" and "을" follow "조선말".

But now "Module:Babel" is expressed as Josa "는", "가" and "를".

For example, please see this.

Thanks.

[[ https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Babel-0-n/ko&oldid=654733 | Babel-<level>-n/ko ]] system messages do not seem to call the parser function of Extension:Josa.

There are [[ https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Babel-0-n/ko-kp&oldid=8152863 | Babel-<level>-n/ko-kp ]] messages in https://translatewiki.net that are not included in i18n directory in Babel repository.

@Nikerabbit has removed languages with only few messages translated, including ko-kp, in January 2017 (See the commit). I think it is time to reconsider about it and the statistics may help.

If there are meaningful differences between ko and ko-kp, then maybe should be in always-export-languages and not in no-export-languages, but I'd love to hear a confirmation from someone who actually knows the differences between Korean varieties.

ko-kp was added in T21809: Remove North Korean calendar in MessagesKo.php and as pointed out above, there exists considerable amount of translation. I think it makes sense to remove ko-kp from no-export-languages. Then there is the follow-up question whether it should be enabled in translation for the first place or not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North%E2%80%93South_differences_in_the_Korean_language seems to indicate that there are differences.
