This is a draft

Team Rules

Translation Rules

If you wanna help this team in translations,here are the basic rules:

Name of the Language

The international name of the language is Persian (not "Parsi", nor "Farsi").

• (link to ISO Standard ????)

The local name of the language is فارسی (not پارسی)

• Iranian Constitution, section 15

Iranian Keyboard

You probably need to get an Iranian keyboard layout, so you can type Persian characters easily.

• The Standard Iranian keyboard layout and installation instructions: http://www.farsiweb.ir/wiki/Standard_Persian_keyboard

Zero-Width Non-Joiner

Also known as Nim fāseleh, Fāseleh-ye majāzi, Fāseleh-ye sefr, Pseudo-space.

It's wrong to use SPACE in the middle of a word to break the joining. You should use ZWNJ in this cases.

• You can type this character by pressing:
  • Windows: Shift+B
  • Linux: Shift+Space or Shift+B

Correct form with ZWNJ: می‌خواهم
Incorrect (with space): می خواهم 
Incorrect (joined)    : میخواهم

• More on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_non-joiner and http://www.laits.utexas.edu/rfpit/persianword/zwnj.htm
