Письмо про алфавиты в CREATE Hi,
Recently a Glyphs dialog was added to Inkscape for easier special characters insertion. While it certainly is a good thing, there is one issue I'd like to discuss. There are five applications I can name off-top of my head that list translatable Unicode blocks: - Gucharmap - FontForge - Fontmatrix - Inkscape - Scribus But they do not always agree on naming of blocks. E.g. where FontForge has "Yi syllables and radicals", Inkscape has "Yi syllables" and "Yi radicals" separately, and so on. I happen to translate four out of five these applications (except Gucharmap) and I feel PITA growing despite of using translation memory. Therefore several questions: 1. Is it possible to create a library that would provide a centralized localizable list of Unicode blocks always matching the current Unicode specification? 2. Or is there a library that could be adapted to solve this issue? 3. Or is there an existing solution that simply isn't acknowledged by developers? 4. Would such a list work for any application, be it C/GTK+/gettext or C++/Qt/TS-QM? I have a suspicion that OpenOffice.org, KOffice and Abiword/Gnumeric also have some kind of special characters dialog and would benefit from such a solution. Opinions? P.S. Of course as non-developer I'm merely speculating instead of bloody doing the job :) Alexandre _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
