Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Archivebot / Timestripper is known to not work with the following languages:

  • Arabic (ar)
  • Persian (fa)
  • Thai (th)
  • Pennsylvania German (pdc)
  • Soranî, Central Kurdish branch language (ckb)

tests/archivebot_tests registered failures for those languages:

tests/timestripper_tests only has tests for

  • French
  • Norwegian
  • Czech
  • English
  • Portuguese

More tests are needed for timestripper to run by default, and it would be good to have more languages able to be tested with archivebot, but possibly not run by default as they are quite time consuming.
