rsperberg / IPA-Palette-with-Khmer

Importing a custom-symbols plist into IPA Palette (on Mac OS X) enables users to create their own palette of Unicode characters. Entering Khmer via input palette is useful since few Mac users have a Khmer keyboard installed.

Talk to me on IPA Palette #1

Open K8TIY opened 10 years ago

I'm the creator of IPA Palette. Your solution is a good one, but hijacking my software to deliver a language-specific functionality is not optimal. If I didn't want my software to be hijack-able, I would have designed it that way, but that is the beauty of open-ended functionality. You have done nothing wrong, and almost everything right. Please contact me, because I would like to work with you on this minority language support. This is extremely important, and I am confident you believe it to be true since for some years now I have supported Vietnamese localization even though I realize my Google-translate-supported attempts at translation are disastrously funny.

The IPA Palette foundation is pretty rock-solid. Let's branch out and rope in every other language we can. We don't have to piggyback the input method on the back of the IPA; this is just a specialization of an important niche and the Unicode blocks that support it.

Cool.

I'm in an intensive web-dev bootcamp for the next six weeks that includes 3 hours commuting each day, so I probably won't be able to get very deep with you on this for a little while. But I'm open.

Excellent. I'm going to be pretty heavily booked myself getting all of the new Mavericks support release out the door. I look forward to hearing from you when your schedule "sanes up" later on.

Cheers,
