Same defect as #734, in the symbols rather than the accents: the seed translated
the English source word in its everyday sense, so several of these say something
unrelated. The matching entries in
definitions.yamlare in #730; this PR isthe rule files.
Only strings change. No rule is added, removed, or restructured, and
audit-translations jareports the same 28 rule differences asjadoes.The letter
awas read as an eagleunicode.yamlstarts with a note to translators:English needs the special case because the letter a and the article a sound
alike, so with no TTS it says "eigh". Japanese has no such ambiguity, and the
seed rendered "eigh" as イーグル — an eagle. Both the lowercase and the
uppercase rule had it, so every formula containing the variable
asaid "eagle".It now says エー (and 大文字 エー when capital).
I kept the rule structure instead of deleting it as the note allows: removing it
would leave
Missing rules: 2inaudit-translationspermanently, and# audit-ignoredoes not suppress that category. Say the word if you wouldrather have the rules removed — the spoken result is the same either way.
The rest

negative form was asserting something else entirely.
Tests
Five assertions in
tests/Languages/ja/ja.rs: the lettera, the two parallelrelations, the two comparisons with equality, and a factorial.
The tests use
