My blog is Android වැඩකාරයෝ. It contains Sinhala contents. But there is a problem in the content editor and the reading time
In content editor
The word counter is counting only English words
The reading time
The reading time is calculated according to the English terms included in the content.
You can check this by visiting to my site. (for your reference) Forget about the word count in the content editor, but the reading time is misleading the readers who are coming to read the articles.
Is there any solution to this?
There was a problem in @gmfmi serachinghost wasn’t identified Sinhala language and he fixed it ASAP. I think it’s better to fix this also because now lots of Sri Lankans are going to migrate from Wordpress to the ghost.
I observed the similar issue in another Sinhala blog running on Ghost. It is TechNews.LK by @truekasun
Please assist in advance in this matter and thank you @gmfmi for fixing the Sinhala issue.
Looks like it could be related to this issue, worth keeping an eye on it:
In the interim you could use JavaScript to count and calculate the reading time . For example this library calculates reading time and provides a series of option to modify it to your needs:
Yes, it’s possible but I wonder if this supports Unicode characters. Anyhow, we can give it a shot. Otherwise, we can get it done manually using javascript with our own threshold,
Nope not yet. I wasn’t much interested in the reading time but yeah it’s nice to have an accurate (configurable - depending on the language) reading time. Will let you know once I try this.
