This patch intends to add support for jQuery.IME to Koha's staff client and
OPAC.
Koha's Indian users in particular have long been demanded a clean method for
multi-lingual input support from with the browser. Back in 2009, there was some
development around Google Indic Transliteration which supported about 13 major
languages from around the Indian sub-continent-
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5621. However, it
ultimately failed QA and was not available.
In 2011, Google Transliteration API was deprecated, and while it is still
available, the Google ToS do not extend well towards a Free Software project.
So, I revisited the jQuery.IME project[1] again. It has matured a lot since
then with over 135 input methods spread over 67 languages[2]. This count is
growing as the library is key to Wikimedia's UniversalLanguageSelector[3] and
VisualEditor stack[4].
The best part of this patch is that it doesn't add anything persistent on the
viewport real estate. The code hooks into input fields of text / textarea types
and become available to the user on-demand.
The library remains dual-licensed under GPLv2+ and MIT.
