To what extent has language support on the XO been tested? I recall that there was a bug in the XO boot sequence where it could not accept letters with tildes such as ñ.
We need at least English French (official in Rwanda) Brazilian Portuguese, e.g. ãõàèìçê Spanish, where ll is traditionally one letter, as is ch. Libyan Arabic (Significantly different from Arabian Arabic, and with major differences even within Libya) Kinyarwanda Hausa/هَوُسَ (Latin and Arabic both?) Igbo Yoruba (èdè Yorùbá), e.g. Á À Ā É È Ē Ẹ / E̩ Ẹ́ / É̩ Ẹ̀ / È̩ Ẹ̄ / Ē̩ Í Ì Ī Ó Ò Ō Ọ / O̩ Ọ́/ Ó̩ Ọ̀ / Ò̩ Ọ̄ / Ō̩ Ú Ù Ū Ṣ / S̩ á à ā é è ē ẹ / e̩ ẹ́ / é̩ ẹ̀ / è̩ ẹ̄ / ē̩ í ì ī ó ò ō ọ / o̩ ọ́ / ó̩ ọ̀ / ò̩ ọ̄ / ō̩ ú ù ū ṣ / s̩ Thai? in the coming year, and probably others. "The major languages spoken in Nigeria are Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Edo, Efik, Adamawa, Fulfulde, Idoma, and Central Kanuri."--Wikipedia. There are more than 500 living languages in Nigeria. I have friends who can test most of the languages I listed, and we can find native speakers of the others in the US as well as the target countries. I can exercise the keyboard layouts fully and help if more layouts are needed, as seems to be the case. -- Edward Cherlin Earth Treasury: End Poverty at a Profit http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Earth_Treasury WIRE AFRICA http//www.wireafrica.org/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/cherlin _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
