Indic support

From Niserwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

For making web pages in Indian languages you need the following. 

 1. Fedora 8.xx OS
 2. Indic language support enabled
 3. Gnome desktop ( at the moment, doesn't work with KDE desktop )

Once you have these in place, right-click on control panel and then click on Add to panel. A window showing a large number of aplets will open. Klick on Keyboard indicator aplet and add it to the panel. An aplet panel saying US+inet or some such thing will appear.

Right click on Keyboard indicator panel and bring the cursor to keyboard preferences and click. A window will open. Click on layouts. It will show us+inet or some such thing. Click on add. This will open another window asking you to choose a layout. Click on layout button and choose the country ( India ) and Variants button to choose your favorite script. If you don't choose any variant, you will get inscript keyboard layout for Devnagari. After selection click on add. Now you have added a new keyboard layout.

For changing layout, click on keyboard indicator panel. You can switch from Roman script to any other script by simply clicking on the indicator panel. The keyboard is operative in any application, be it ordinary window, word processor like open office things, web page editor ( like the one I am using now ) and so on. You can mix different scripts in one document.

I am using Devnagari and Roman scripts in the test page which you can view by clicking here.
