I'm wonder that making localization in openoffice for burmese. Burmese is being Lack of support by popular text rendering in Uniscribe, Pango, Qt and ICU. What should I do without the basic componets of burmese localization. We just need to collect our locales and wish list among burmese communities.
Javier and we are keep trying to develop Myanmar Rendering on FOSS. We can't touch on Windows Platform. Burmese are based own script shape and need complex text layout engine. There are still migration stage in Unicode Standards. The tweaks burmese opentype fonts for windows are released by mutual agreement of burmese font developers and UTN-11. I hope to translate some glossary first. It might be useful for this project right now. No more possible activities before having stable standards and rendering engine support for burmese.
