Direction
Left to right

Hawaiian (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi) review centers on this evidence: verify Hawaiian ʻokina, macrons, vowel sequences, personal and place names, particles, and English code-switches. The Latn value for haw comes from CLDR likely-subtag expansion. It guides locale fallback; audio has no script, and Hawaiian still needs a project choice. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: whether the deliverable requires full ʻokina and kahakō marking. Before batch editing haw, a reviewer must record whether the deliverable requires full ʻokina and kahakō marking and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.

Frozen deployment boundary

This page is published only because its language is present in capability snapshot m10-2026-07-20.1. It does not extend that catalog or claim a measured accuracy score.

  • The haw hint maps to the reviewed haw provider root and preserves haw as the user's transcript language tag.
  • CLDR Latn is a likely/default locale hint, not an audio property; capability flags remain per language and model while editors confirm the project's real script and orthography.
