hi. saw you message on arwiki.

did you create one for hebrew perchance? or if not, could you?

this is a small pebble in the shoe on hewiki, and maybe one more small excuse to stay with "old vector" for veterans who miss it on the new skin.

thanks for all your work,

peace -

i might have misunderstood. i thought your patch was for dwim on new vector/new search (it does not work). i see now that it was specific to issues with dwim in Arabic. apologies.

peace

I'm a language guy, not a UI guy, so I was only working on the Arabic part of the Arabic DWIM. I talked some with the team working on the new skin and asked them to try to keep DWIM working, but it was not a simple fix and not high enough priority. I'm hoping there will eventually be a straightforward way to keep it working for Hebrew and Russian, too.

there is an open task on phabricator to re-enable DWIM (which really means implement completely new design) for the new search.

i mistakenly associated you message on arwiki to this story, hence my first (erroneous) post here.

(as the original author of the "old dwim", i have some "emotional attachment" to the issue...)

peace -
