http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12815 Bug ID: 12815 Summary: Adding support of jquery.ime to Koha Change sponsored?: Sponsored Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: I18N/L10N Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: indradg@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: frederic@tamil.fr 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.
