Remove AI-slop em-dashes from translated blog posts - #212
Merged
Conversation
Mirror the em-dash cleanup already applied to the English posts (PR #209) across all translated blog posts: de, es, fr, it, zh, ja, ko. Every em-dash used as a parenthetical or rhythm device is removed and replaced with the natural punctuation of each language: - de/es/fr/it/ko: comma - zh: full-width comma (，) or colon; the double dash —— collapses to one mark - ja: full-width comma (、) or （…） for appositives CJK parentheticals that would strand a particle after a bare comma were restructured minimally (Japanese （…）/すなわち, Korean 즉) to stay grammatical. Applied to body prose, frontmatter title:/description:, and img alt attributes. <td> "no-data" placeholder cells are left as-is, matching the English source. en-dash date ranges (2011–2025) untouched.

Converting parenthetical em-dashes to 、 in PR #212 joined some independent clauses with a comma where Japanese needs 。 (e.g. 「…よりも多い、これは…」). Six instances across five files, all plain-form predicate + 、 + demonstrative.

* Fix style defects in three queued draft posts Editorial cleanup found while auditing the publish queue. All three posts stay drafts (published: false); English and every existing locale (ja/zh/ko) are updated together. apple-transparency-report: drop the unsourced "well-known pattern" claim about German police device-identifier checks. "consistent with" already carries the hedge, so the weasel qualifier only asserted something about the world with no source behind it. korea-network-act-report: the "A, not B" construction appeared three times in one post. Reworded the H2 to "The CSAM cliff is a definition change" so the remaining two land harder. korea-naver-kakao-requests: "The biggest caveat: these are..." label-colon becomes a plain sentence. The ja and ko translations already used the natural "the biggest caveat is that..." form, so only en and zh changed. Tests: 86/86 pass.
