.Humanize() on "Arabic" letters returns empty string (or any other casing)

[Korayem]

I have an app where string being humanized could be of any culture.

I have Thread Culture properly set to Arabic.

Expected behavior: It should return exact same string.

Could you please check 2.1?

[Korayem]

Ok

Using Xamarin Studio 6 and getting following error while upgrading:

Using NugetThe 'Humanizer.Core 2.1.0' package requires NuGet client version '2.12' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.8.7.0'.

@onovotny is there any chance to back-port #564 to 2.0.x and 1.x branches?

[Korayem]

Never mind, I switched to Visual Studio to update the nugets to v2.1. It's still occurring. The values returned are empty string.

I have installed

• Humanizer.core
• Humanizer.core.ar

For Xamarin Studio, you need to be on the beta channel.

@onovotny kindly read my comment above. I switched to VS to update the nugets but still same problem with me

We'll need more information to diagnose. What project type, what does your solution look like, what does your project look like?

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var x = "هلا".Humanize();
            Console.WriteLine($"Arabic humanized: {x}");
        }
    }

packages.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Humanizer.Core" version="2.1.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Humanizer.Core.ar" version="2.1.0" targetFramework="net461" />
</packages>

[clairernovotny]

What kind of app is this? .NET 4.5 or .NET Core App 1.0?

[Korayem]

@onovotny .net 4.6.1 command line as shown in packages.config above

These characters are of the Unicode category "Letter, Other" and currently not matched by the regex. The easiest fix would be to pass them through as-is, but I can't say if that's enough to "humanize" Arabic, Hebrew or Egyptian hieroglyphics …
