Using mixed is not possible in the current OOo version as we don't have a "script type" attribute for text, only "language" and OOo uses a fixed assignment of language to script type. And "script type" in OOo currently only can have three values: "asian", "CTL" and "Western", and the latter is just everything that does not fit into the other categories. So "Western" also contains all cyrillic variants also. Currently "Mongolian" is assigned to "Western". We can keep it that way (plan A) or we can move it to "CTL" (plan B). With some creative coding we can at least make this assignment on a per-document basis, but inside a particular document we have to assign "Mongolian" to either script type (plan C). >> The only alternative I see is throwing our Mongolian(cyrillic) but this will >> damage older documents written with that language and script type. > > How is it for new documents? I think, really few users have created documents > with Mongolian (cyrillic). Could users use both script types? My suggestion here would be plan B: assign "Mongolian" to "CTL". If users had created a document with mongolian text, this text now magically would become CTL text. What this would mean exactly for the way how OOo treats this document has to be figured out. Most probably the spell checking won't work for mongolian text with cyrillic layout. In case of new documents they would automatically have the right language assignment to the "CTL" section, but in older versions of OOo they would have the same problem as the cyrillic ones in future versions. BTW: only with Plan A we won't have this problem! Plan A would mean: keep it like it is. Consequence is that most probably spell checking won't work with mongolian documents in traditional layout. With plan C (allow to assign "Mongolian" to either script type group) we could avoid problems at least for future OOo versions if the whole document either uses cyrillic or traditional layout. "Plan D" would be implementing script type support in OOo. AFAIK this is possible since ODF 1.2 and so basically doable. But the effort is high and definitely not doable for OOo3.1. Does that answer your question so that you can tell me if we should go for plan A, B or C? While "A" and "B" are done fast and easily, "C" would require some additional coding. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
