Macedonian language support #4

Open MatejKovacic opened 2 weeks ago

MatejKovacic commented 2 weeks ago

I tried FUTO keyboard with Macedonian language and there are some serious problems with that. I am not Macedonian, but I guess this could have some political implications also. :)

Wrong letters

So I tried to say "Macedonian language" and it transforms into "Македонски язик" (in Cyrillic). The problem is, that the letter "я" is Bulgarian (and also Russian). Macedonian language does not have this letter.

In Latin, it would be "Makedonski jazik" and the correct Cyrillic version should be "Македонски јазик".

Please note, letter "я" should be "ја".

First I thought the problem could be in missing dictionary, so I compiled one myself (please see below), however the problem still persists, so I guess the problem is with keyboard layout - currently only South Slavic is available. Is it possible to add another layout for Macedonian language?

No AOSP dictionary

I also found out there is no AOSP dictionary for Macedonian language. So I tried to compile my own following this instructions. The Macedonian AOSP dictionary is now available here: https://github.com/MatejKovacic/Macedonian_AOSP_dictionary/
