Why using of comma is blocked in questions? (original) (raw)

September 19, 2025, 8:59pm 1

When I tried to add questions to Spontaneous Speech, I many times failed to that and didn’t understand the reason, why I can’t do that. But today I found, it happens when I try to add a comma in my questions. The problem is even short Russian questions can include it, so it is annoying. Some examples:

• Есть что-то, что ты ненавидишь? (Is there something that you hate?)
• Есть ли какое-то кино, книги или игры о каких-то социальных проблемах или моральных дилеммах которое тебе нравится? (Is there any movie, book, or game about social issues or moral dilemmas that you like?)

@Libra, thank you for reporting this. There is indeed an issue with Russian with comma.
In other languages it works.

I’ll open a ticket for it to examine and fix…

Russian has a validator in the code which prohibits Latin characters from the first Unicode page, a-z/A-Z, but it should not prohibit comma…

I’ll investigate…

It was a small but hard to locate mistake. I merged a fix, it will be available in the next release (soon).

I’m really thankful you for that . Where did the problem arise in the end?

It was a regex parameter to disallow Latin script - only applied to Russian as a test two years before. It was formed like this:

(”[a-z,A-Z]”)

Of course the comma there is literal

As Russian recently started, nobody was aware of it Thank you for finding and voicing it
