also separate name shortening from translation, and always translate at the last moment while rendering html or json. The data models only contain untranslated names like they are in the db

Thanks for requesting a review.
I would suggest two changes to the output strings we present - while keeping your regex the same:
- To remove the hypen from Semi-finals and Quarter-finals respectively. There isn't an obvious standard across British or American English, but newer sports and events tend to have no hyphen.
Importantly, it seems to also be the terminology preferred by the FIDE World Cup, which is the largest chess event I can think of which has formal stages like this. From their official website:
- If instead of Boys U1800 and Girls U1800 for example, to instead use the appropriate mathematical symbol (< or ≤).
This would match what we do for on-Lichess tournaments (example). I believe this would make more intuitive sense for people less knowledgeable about OTB chess.

The "boys/girls UX" string was actually meant for age category tournaments not elo category. I forgot to add stuff for the latter. But now it becomes clear that they can easily be confusing. Since these will be user supplied strings the onus will be on broadcasters to use the appropriate format. |
Ah, thanks for clarifying. That is more workable for English, where U𝑥𝑥 is very common across a lot of sports, and I trust translators to localise it properly as well. |
