Description
MWoffliner allows now to specify language variants (and this is used to scrape Wikipedia in Simplified Chinese). See https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/pull/2450
Which mostly implies that we mostly agreed that we can/could/should have multiple ZIM files with the same content, but different language variants.
But beside of this I believe there is nothing set:
- For the ZIM specification (metadata)
- How the readers should deal with that
