Writing systems

[TODO: write introduction]

LanguageConverter
LanguageConverter is a system based on language variants that automatically converts the content of a page into a different variant. A variant is mostly the same language in a different script.

19044 -- placeholder page for when someone wants to document LanguageConverter more thoroughly!

It is implemented for the following languages (as of August 2011):
 * Chinese (zh): Simplified (zh-hans), Traditional (zh-hant), zh-cn, zh-tw, zh-hk, zh-mo, zh-sg, zh-my
 * Gan (gan): Simplified (gan-hans), Traditional (gan-hant)
 * Inuktitut (iu): Latin (ike-cans), Syllabics (ike-cans) [since 1.18]
 * Kazakh (kk): Cyrillic (kk-cyrl), Latin (kk-latn), Arabic (kk-arab)
 * Kurdish (ku): Latin (ku-latn), Arabic (ku-arab)
 * Serbian (sr): Cyrillic (sr-ec), Latin (sr-el)
 * Tajiki (tg): Cyrillic (tg-cyrl), Latin (tg-latn)

And it is needed for many more languages!

Language code tags for scripts should follow the ISO 15924 standard.
