Team Rules

Translation Rules

If you want to help this team in translations, you're needed to follow some basic rules:

Name of the Language

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

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

• Iranian Constitution, section 15
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Keyboard Layout

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

Persian Academy

• Persian Script Guideline (دستور خطّ فارسى)
• Persian Academy Glossary (واژه‌های مصوّب)

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
