Issue #442 resolved

Original issue 442 created by tsuruku... on 2015-02-04T13:39:40.000Z:

I tried "Blacklist" function for English to Japanese translation.
But it does not work at all.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Probably, I guess that "Blacklist" works as if "¥b" is put before and after a listed word.
For example, if "function" is a blacklisted word, Checkmate responds to "function", but not "malfunction".
This is convenient for European language, but it is critical for Japanese (probably, Chinese, Korean, too).
Because, in most cases, Asian language does not contain any "space" in a sentence.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Checkmate version 0.26

I hope your support.

    The blacklist checker doesn't use regex like \b, but does checks for character types. So the algorythm needs to be updated to work with Japanese, etc.

    Could you provide an example oj Japanese of a translated string and several black listed terms, so we can try to tweak the code? Thanks.
