[hannaw93]

Context

• This PR expands on the PR Add some words with zero-width non-joiner (zwnj) for Farsi submitted as a community patch by @nshayanfar.

When reviewing and testing, it was noticed that multiple-word function words don't get recognised by the content analysis. This PR fixes that.

Summary

This PR can be summarized in the following changelog entry:

• Improves the keyphrase assessments recognition for Farsi by updating the relevant list of function words. Props to @nshayanfar.
• [shopify-seo] Improves the keyphrase assessments recognition for Farsi by updating the relevant list of function words.
• [yoastseo] Expands and updates the function words list for Farsi. Props to @nshayanfar.

Relevant technical choices:

• The multiple-word function words were split into separate strings (e.g. "نصف النهار" was split into "نصف" ,"النهار") in order to fix the problem of multiple-word function words not being recognised by the assessment.
• Duplicates were removed using Google sheets

Test instructions

Test instructions for the acceptance test before the PR gets merged

This PR can be acceptance tested by following these steps:

In Wordpress

• Set your site language to Farsi (فارسی)
• Create a post of at least 300 words. You can use this one as an example:

فیلم «امیلیا پرز» با نامزدی در ۱۰ رشته موفق‌ترین فیلم گلدن گلوب امسال بود. زوئی سالدانا که پیش‌تر با بازی در آواتار هم ستایش شده بود امشب جایزه بهترین هنرپیشه زن مکمل را برای بازی در «امیلیا پرز» دریافت کرد.

دانه‌ انجیر معابد به کارگردانی محمد رسول‌اف که یکی از پنج نامزد اصلی جایزه بهترین فیلم غیرانگلیسی زبان بود داستان یک بازپرس دادگاه انقلاب ایران است که در بحبوحه اعتراض‌های سراسری ۱۴۰۱ اسلحه‌اش را گم می‌کند و درگیر بحران در زندگی شخصی و کاری می‌شود.

فیلمی که از نگاه ناظران تکان‌دهنده‌ و راوی احوال این روزهای جامعه ایران است. فیلم از زاویه زندگی یک «بازپرس سرسپرده حکومت» روایت می‌شود که خشونت و جنایت‌هایش به دل خانه و خانواده خودش بازمی‌گردد.

این فیلم داستان مردی به نام ایمان را روایت می‌کند که بیست و یک سال در خدمت حکومت بوده و حالا با ترفیع به مقام بازپرس دادگاه انقلاب رسیده و بنابراین صاحب خانه‌ای سه‌خوابه و امکانات مالی بهتری خواهد شد. اما اولین روزهای آغاز کارش مصادف است با جنبش زن، زندگی، آزادی.

هشتاد و دومین مراسم سالانه گلدن گلوب اولین مراسم مهم فصل جوایز فیلم‌های سینمایی ۲۰۲۵ است که با اعطای جوایز اسکار در دوم مارس امسال به اوج خود می‌رسد.

مراسم گلوب امسال در هتل بورلی هیلتون لس‌آنجلس عصر یکشنبه ۵ ژانویه، ۱۶ دی برگزار شد.

برنده شدن در گلدن گلوب می‌تواند به تقویت وجهه یک فیلم درست در زمانی کمک کند که رای‌دهندگان بفتا و اسکار برای پر کردن برگه‌های نامزدی آماده می‌شوند. با این حال، گلدن گلوب نسبت به جوایز اسکار رسمیت کمتری دارد.

The "postpositions" category was removed because the word is already listed in pronouns

[marinakoleva]

You mean all the words in the category postpositions are included in pronouns?
