Description

Write logic to test for CLDR alphabet being found and turn it into a whitespace-separated string.

Mockup

Backlinks_Variation-with-radiobuttons.png (716×795 px, 85 KB)

Open questions

Which UI works best?

Implementation

Get AlphabetsProvider from the service registry MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getService( 'Cite.AlphabetsProvider' )
Use AlphabetsProvider::getIndexCharacters to get the Alphabet from CLDR
Use the content language as parameter
We then would probably want to forward that to the config page as JS

Outcome
