User:Drmccreedy/roadmap multilingual

I use a Perl script to generate Unicode character roadmap images for the, , , and  planes.

These images are multilingual, currently supporting English, Belarusian, Chinese using simplified characters, Chinese using traditional characters, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Korean, Persian, Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian. (You can see them all on my test page.)

I'm happy to add languages if provided with the necessary translations.

What to translate
This is the text to be translated if you want to add a new language to the roadmap images:

Context
The image legends more-or-less line up with the chapters in the Unicode Standard.

The Standard's table of contents is especially useful in understanding the meaning of the legend groups:

Chapter 7 covers Latin script and Non-Latin European scripts like Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, and Georgian.

Chapter 9 covers Middle Eastern and Southwest Asian scripts including Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Phoenician.

Chapter 11 covers Cuneiform and Hieroglyphs.

Chapters 12-15 cover South and Central Asian scripts including Tibetan, Mongolian, and the official scripts of India.

Chapter 16 covers Southeast Asian scripts including Thai, Lao, Burmese, and Khmer.

Chapter 17 covers Indonesian and Oceanic scripts like the Philippine scripts, Balinese, and Javanese.

Chapter 18 covers East Asian scripts like Han, Bopomofo, Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Yi, Tangut, and others. CJK characters are a subset of East Asian made up of Chinese characters or ideographs that are, or have been, used in China, Japan, Korean, and Vietnam.

Chapter 19 covers African scripts like Ethiopic, Osmanya, and Tifinagh.

Chapter 20 covers American scripts (that is, scripts used in North and South America): Cherokee, Canadian syllabics, Osage, Deseret.

Chapter 21 covers Notational systems like Braille, musical symbols, Duployan shorthand, and Sutton SignWriting.

Chapter 22 covers Symbols like currency symbols, numerals, and math symbols.

Chapter 23 covers "Special Areas and Format Characters" which are split out here into four groups:
 * Private use are characters in Private Use Areas. They are characters intentionally left undefined so that third parties may define their own characters without conflicting with Unicode Consortium assignments.
 * Tags are special-use tag characters that enable the spelling out of ASCII-based string tags (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and a few other characters) using characters that can be strictly separated from ordinary text content characters in Unicode.
 * UTF-16 surrogates are characters that are used in pairs as surrogates (or stand-ins) in UTF-16 to represent Unicode characters over 0xffff (ones that can't fit into two bytes).
 * Variation Selectors are format characters used to specify a specific glyph variant for a Unicode character.

Unallocated code points represent the unused space or areas, those not yet defined/allocated.

Miscellaneous characters is just a catch-all for any characters that don't fit elsewhere.

Lastly, As of Unicode 15.1 tells the viewer what version of the Unicode Standard was used to create the images. It's a way of knowing if the chart is current or out-of-date.

Languages to proofread
These languages need to be fully translated and proofread: Belarusian (be) and Korean (ko).
