580178 - (fuuu) Make swear words lists per locale

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Input Graveyard :: Submission, defect)

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Our current swear word list is English-only. Now that everything is localized, we probably need similar lists in other locales as well.

They don't need to be exhaustive (as our swear word filter is more of an encouragement than a tight blocking mechanism), but only flagging English words is useless on translated pages (or worse, if a perfectly normal word in, say, Italian, matches a swear word pattern in English).

Could we have the English list to translate? It would be easier than have to remember all swear words in Spanish :P

This is the current list in all its glory:

No you don't have to translate those all. In fact, I downloaded this list from the depth of the Internet.

How this system work? For example, the word *test* will catch "test" but also "untested"?

Comment 4

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

That's correct.

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Ok, I'm working on it :P

How are you going to manage this file? I don't really like the idea of having this masterpiece of culture attached to Bugzilla.

This assignment will go down as an all-time Mozilla l10n classic.  ...can't wait to get a hold of this list x 75 locales.  :-P

Let's grab an appropriate Bugzilla alias for the occasion :)

Spanish list is almost done here:

Do you want it as an attached txt file here?

Comment 12

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

A one-column list of words in a text file ( like the one mentioned in comment #2) would be incredibly helpful, yes!

This sounds like an exorbitant amount of engineering in order to *reduce* the number of incoming submissions.
