Fixes for Arabic layouts #306

Closed PromyLOPh closed 4 years ago

PromyLOPh commented 4 years ago

Here’s a quick fix for the Arabic language pack, see #300. It simply reinstates the previous default layout, extracted from the old APK.

I’m also looking at the AOSP layout again. Is is possible to have custom symbol layers with ASK or would I translate those to popup characters?

Great!

I'm not sure I understand your request for custom symbol layouts. Can you explain?

PromyLOPh commented 4 years ago

As far as I understand AOSP splits layouts into “layout sets” (Arabic). These seem to be independent keyboard layers like ASK’s layouts/symbol layouts. So I was wondering how to “translate” this AOSP KeyboardLayoutSet into an ASK layout properly.

I see. ASK doesn't support this. Yet. I want to create sometimes similar for ASK. Some day I'll have the time 😔

PromyLOPh commented 4 years ago

Ok, I’ll transform those into popup characters then. Thanks :)

There is also this: Rated 3 out of 5 by hadi sumarsono.

I love it before new update. Now, I can not switch back & forth from Arabic to English. If I choose Arabic, the switch language is dissappear. May be an update Arabic language plugin cause that?.

Don't be discoursed by thee reviews. The Arabic pack is very popular so there are always going to be people that don't like aspects of it.

Your updates are important

PromyLOPh commented 4 years ago

Hm, not sure what I can do about that. Only the AOSP layout (not the default) overrides the top row and thus hides the language switcher (or whatever the user selected as top row – that’s what is making this so awkward). I guess I’ll disable that in the next update.
