tags cannot be added to post when using armenian language interface

[noch]

when wordpress interface language is Armenian, tags cannot be added to posts.

after switching interface language to English, tags can be added.

version 4.4.2, downloaded and installed yesterday.

Hello @noch and welcome to Trac. That's interesting. The Armenian translation translates the tag delimiter with a dot '.' so the following in tagBox.clean()

tags = tags.replace(new RegExp(comma, 'g'), ',');

becomes:

tags = tags.replace(new RegExp( '.', 'g'), ',');

which means "replace any character, globally (i.e. all matches) with a comma" and the final result is an empty string because all commas get removed in following replacements. So, comma passed to the regex should probably be escaped when it's a special character. To be honest, I don't understand the second check for if ( ',' !== comma ) which re-adds back the original delimiter, so I'd appreciate someone with more historical knowledge than me to have a look at this :) See [19853]. cc @azaozz

A lot has changed since this ticket was created. Mainly, the block editor is now the default editing experience with the Classic Editor being preserved through a plugin as a courtesy to help with the transition.

I've done some brief testing, and it appears that this is no longer a problem in the block editor when a site is running with Armenian translations.

Because of this, I'm going to close the ticket.

If someone feels strongly enough about fixing this and care to offer a patch, the ticket can be reopened. I think it's fair to consider it, but it's likely a risky change.
