1. [..]
Unfortunately I do not know anything about Indic languages and scripts.
2. You mention that "[IIIMF] has zero documentation". The choice of words is not elegant.
You are quite right. It is rude. I changed it to âit is rather short on user-level documentationâ, which I think is correct.
For IIIMF it's rather simple to setup for Fedora 2, Fedora 3, etc, Ubuntu Linux, Debian and so on.
Thanks for the links. I'll spend some more time to try to make IIIMF work. Attempts today, again failed, however..
3. GTK+ IM is not limited to some Gnome ("GNOME") programs but works
throughout the GNOME Desktop Environment and Development Platform.
Specific applications that use the GTK+ library, namely
Firefox/Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org have problems with keyboard
shortcuts when you are typing in the "other" language, but that's
another issue. It looks bad to critisize GTK+ IM without explaining what
your complaint is about.
I did not intend to criticize immodule, because I really like it. But I cannot make it work in the sense of âright-click, get the menuâ in programs that really matter, like Mozilla / Firefox / Openoffice. I must be doing something wrong.
4. Thanks for mentioning im-classicalgreek. An alternative is to use XIM and selecting "polytonic". Have a look at http://www.livejournal.com/users/simos74/32918.html
I will. My Greek is very rusty but with some effort I can decipher (or guess the meaning of) modern Greek.
[..] It's an interesting document what you are writing and I am would interested to see how it progresses.
Would it be a good idea to convert this into a wiki? No single user can know enough about the various languages and scripts that should be considered in Linux âmultilingualisationâ.
