Jinnish (cjy) Language Support

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Mjbmr

Hi, sorry for the delay, yes and yes, you're all corrent, these translations are required to add Jinyu language in MediaWiki, and having Jinyu language in MediaWiki is required for Jinyu Wikipedia.

Sorry for being away from this conversation for a while but coming back again. ; ) I found a problem and need your help.

The displayed autonyms for cjy-hant and cjy-hans show different parentheses on the left hand side and the right hand side of the word--A Chinese left parenthesis and a Latin/English right parenthesis. As I copy here:

晉語(正字)

晋语(简化字)

This look a little awful.

Then I discussed with my collaborators for which kind of parentheses we prefer. And we came to agree to use Latin/English style of parentheses.

So could you please change them to

晉語(正字)

and

晋语(简化字)

Thank you so much!

Latin parentheses were replaced with full width parentheses.

Thanks Mjbmr!

But we prefer the other way round--using Latin parentheses instead of the full width ones, as I proposed. Is there any reason that the Latin parentheses are not suggested?

It's just becuase it has been used for the same usage in other languages with the same scripts.
