Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

Using 'ꦮꦠꦶꦱ꧀' (watés) which means 'container' or 'vessel' is a more appropriate metaphor for a variable in programming, as it holds data. It's also a more established term in Indonesian for 'variable' which Javanese often borrows from.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While a direct transliteration, 'ꦮꦝꦃ' (wedhar) means 'news' or 'report' in Javanese. It doesn't convey the programming concept of a variable.
