Hi Walter We don't have plans to use stickers at the moment. The stickers won't last long in the hands of kids. But we need to have some mechanism to input Nepali characters. For now we can give them a printout of the keyboard layout. Regards, Basanta On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 5:58 PM, Walter

I think issue is enabling the switching back and forth. We have a dedicated key on the membrane keyboards, but not the 'standard' keyboards. Maybe we make it an altgr key of some sort... -walter On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Tim Moody t...@timmoody.com wrote: I don't know if this helps, but
