Agreed, and this is coming from someone who can read them.

So we should have a policy about which languages are allowed, and which ones are considered unreadable...

Main alphabets:
* Latin alphabets (abc...)
* Japanese (Katakana/Hiragana/Kanji)
* Simple Chinese (China), Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
* Corean
* Arabic
* Hebraic, Yiddish
* Greek

As a warning: considering anything forbidden wouldn't be very nice to those who use it in dayly life.

Supported languages should be limited to the languages the mods know. That is rather narrow, so they will probably need to have volunteers that will verify specific languages, so the supported languages would expand to include those... This way a user cannot complain about a language not being supported, if it is not supported then they can offer their assistance...

Here is a proposal for a new language system.
1) All supported languages (as defined by there are mods/users to verify those languages) will be listed as being able to add languages.
2) Language Other will no longer be able to be added.
3) When a Title/Synonym/Short Name for an anime OR episode, it is added with a flag of unverified.
4) Unverified Titles will be listed as unverified (or maybe even hidden)
5) The mods can mark the titles as verified
6) If there is no longer a mod/user available to verify a name, then that language is flagged so that users can no longer enter titles with that language. Existing verified records for that language would remain.

Other niceties:
7) Language verifiers are known by the system and they have the power to approve/modify/reject titles in the languages they support
8) Titles are creqed independantly from other data in the record.
9) In the cases of more than one language verifier for a language, changes made by a language verifier should be validated by another one.
10) Validation of proper encoding (or even automatic encoding) should be done and made consistent. Currently the anime titles are checked but the episode titles are not... Also English does not allow non-ASCII characters (even encoded), so I cannot do Pokemon properly.

BTW, you missed some types of writing, but that is irrelevant to the conversation.

Deleted, and having got the lovely deadcat to waste his time telling me which titles to wipe the other day, I'm tempted just to ban all jews from the database, if they continue trying to be amusing.

...on a more serious note, we really need title logging if people are gonna want to continue adding joke titles to yaoi and hentai.

i have no idea what they wanted to write here, if you want you can rename it to "הרוח במעטפת", that is the hebrew name for this title

i think you need someone to check all the new titles in langs the mod dont understand...
