interwiki link support?

Open erickguan opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I'm wondering if it's possible to have interwiki links so that two languages of wikipedia zim can be concatenated together so that it's possible to jump between the two in the future. Now the interwiki links are in JSON format stored in Wikidata. It's not so hard to extract them via API or process over Spark.

Related with category support. https://github.com/openzim/libzim/issues/75 I would argue that interwiki links are more important for offline reading. If someone is not familiar with English, reading through the corresponding English article is helpful when one reads in their mother tongue. But from a technical point of view, these two are much close as they are like pointers.

@erickguan For now this is not possible, but this is something which has been asked for many times
