Direction
Left to right

Māori (Māori) review centers on this evidence: verify Māori macrons, particles, reduplication, personal and iwi names, place names, and English switches with local guidance. CLDR maximizes bare mi to Latn (Latin script) as default web-locale metadata. It is not evidence about the recording or proof that Māori has only one writing system. 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 macrons and dialect-specific forms are fully retained. Before batch editing mi, a reviewer must record whether macrons and dialect-specific forms are fully retained and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.

Script choice and source-linked review for Māori

CLDR maximizes bare mi to Latn (Latin script) as default web-locale metadata. It is not evidence about the recording or proof that Māori has only one writing system. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. For multilingual research sessions with productive affixes and reduplication, inspect verify Māori macrons, particles, reduplication, personal and iwi names, place names, and English switches with local guidance. Visually inspect diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms; record the project decision about whether macrons and dialect-specific forms are fully retained. Replay a complete clause around every uncertain name, quantity, interruption, or ending.

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 mi hint maps to the reviewed mi provider root and preserves mi 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.

Questions from the workflow

What must a Māori editor decide before correcting the transcript?

affixes, repeated forms, particles, and borrowed vocabulary should be checked without forcing speech into a monolingual-looking draft. For Māori, verify Māori macrons, particles, reduplication, personal and iwi names, place names, and English switches with local guidance. Project choice: whether macrons and dialect-specific forms are fully retained. Keep unresolved forms beside their source timestamps.
