tS catalog processory affecting links to tA?

[jag3773]

Somehow, it appears that the tS catalog processor is affecting at least some of the links to tA from other resources.

This was noticed in Croatian (hr) resources.

You can see the source tN file here: https://git.door43.org/Door43-Catalog/hr_tn/raw/branch/master/mat/04/07.md . In particular, this note:

Opet, pisano je

Podrazumijeva se da Isus opet citira Sveto Pismo. Ovo se može izreći u aktivnom obliku. AT: "Opet ću ti reći što je Mojsije napisao u Pismu" (Vidi: [[rc://hr/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] i [[rc://hr/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])

Those tA links look perfect (to me), but in the processed notes JSON they get corrupted, see https://cdn.door43.org/v2/ts/mat/hr/notes.json?date_modified=20191011 :

"Podrazumijeva se da Isus opet citira Sveto Pismo. Ovo se može izreći u aktivnom obliku. AT: "Opet ću ti reći što je Mojsije napisao u Pismu" (Vidi: [[:hr:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive]] i [[:hr:ta:vol2:translate:figs_ellipsis]])"

Or, maybe this conversion is supposed to happen in the notes and words but some sort of transformation is not happening to the Croatian tA? I'm wondering if this was a hack created to make the links point backward to the previous link target locations?

That is a backwards compatibility conversion. In the tS api all of the tA links get converted to the old dokuwiki link format. This is not something we should change, but instead, if people want to use the newer links they should use the v3 api.

OK, I thought that may be what was going on.

However, the issue still remains. The links do not work for Croatian. I do see that links are working in English and Kannada, so I don't know what's missing here.

[da1nerd]

ah ok. the english is in TSV format and the croatian is in the original markdown format but only the markdown is converted to the legacy format.

I installed version ts-android v9.0 (released 3 years ago) and the legacy tA links don't work there either. So I'm going to go ahead and keep all the tA links as RC links in the api.
