Deal with Chinese commas properly [#742404]

When entering taxonomy terms using the autocomplete box, the format used is tag, comma, tag. For example, "tag1, tag2".

As Chinese is the second most used language on the Internet and will be the first most used language in Drupal's lifespan, I think taxonomy should be able to accept Chinese commas - "，".

Currently, on some of my sites I get tags entered like "tag1，tag2" which end up being entered in the system all as one tag.

yes, me too the same problem.

Moreover, the 'Autocomplete term widget (tagging)' seems only work with english, can't work for Chinese tags.

When I input Chinese words, it just responds nothing :(

@taite11,
I don't think this is necessary. look over the net, lots of users still using ", . / ?" rather than "，。？／" and default setting for most IME is half-width form I think.

But if we can make it more easy to customize own settings. that's good.

@rogical,
#812354: Handle IME input in autocomplete better. I'm always want it get into CORE first and make it for every platform soon but no one interested.

I'm interested, may be can make some contribute after more familiar with the code.

for the necessary, it does. In Chinese input software, if you input ", . / ?" rather than "，。？／", you normally need to switch input to English or set some settings on the input. Default is always "，。？／".
