Inclusion of Rupee sign in symbols.dic #4943

Closed nvaccessAuto closed 8 years ago

nvaccessAuto commented 9 years ago

Reported by td.dinakar on 2015-02-23 15:57 We are already having some currency signs such as dollar, pound, yen, euro, etc., in the English symbols.dic file.

I request the sign ₹ which denotes the Indian currency may be included in the symbols.dic file. This sign should be read as "Rupees".

I am also attaching the text file containing this character.

Comment 1 by jteh on 2015-02-23 23:09 Should we instead report this as Rupee (singular)? This is consistent with the way we report the dollar sign, pound sign, euro sign, etc.

Comment 3 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 1) on 2015-02-24 14:16 This sign was introduced by the Indian Government only in 2011. Prior to this, "Rupees" was denoted as "Rs." and "Rupee" as "Re.".

Since except for Re.1, all other values are denoted by using Rs. e.g. Rs.100, Rs.1,500, etc.

I, therefore feel that "Rupees" would be more appropriate than "Rupee".

Comment 5 by td.dinakar on 2015-07-26 05:57 I expect that this would get implemented in 2015.2 version. But, it did not happen. Any issue with this ticket? Is any additional input required from me?

Comment 6 by jteh on 2015-07-27 00:22 Sorry. I simply haven't gotten to this.

Do Indian speech synthesisers know how to pronounce this symbol already? The reason I ask is that most synthesisers already know how to pronounce the other currency symbols NVDA includes and they tend to have their own language specific rules about how to do this which sound more natural. Because of this, for the none, most and some symbol levels, we let the synthesiser handle these symbols. However, because this Indian rupee symbol is so new, I'm guessing most synthesisers don't handle it yet; eSpeak and Vocalizer certainly don't. Therefore, it's probably better to let NVDA handle this for all symbol levels except maybe level none.

Technical: The sign is: ₹ Changes: Milestone changed from None to 2015.4

Comment 7 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 6) on 2015-07-27 14:49 Thanks for the feed back. As far as I know, only eSpeak supports most of the Indian languages. Jonathan has included this Rupee sign in eSpeak 1.48.15. It now reads this sign as ரூபாய் in Tamil, but only as Rupee in other languages, as I could not tell him as to how this sign is spoken in other Indian languages.

Comment 8 by td.dinakar on 2015-09-13 05:11 Has the "Rupee" sign been included in the Master, as the milestone has been set to 2015.4?

nvaccessAuto commented 9 years ago

Comment 9 by jteh on 2015-09-13 07:16 No. An open ticket with a milestone means it's been scheduled for that milestone but isn't yet done.
