Reading Asian Text Properly #211

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

I am asking if a proper display of Asian language will be available in quelea 
2014? Not all languages are written and read from left to right in Asia, 
notably the Chinese, Japanese and the language of the Lord's people, Hebrew.

I have been following the progress of quelea for more than a year now and I am 
now enjoying the software with its features such as video background.

I hope quelea can display properly Hebrew and other right to left direction 
characters.

Thank you.

Hi, we'd love to do this but it's made difficult because no-one on the team 
understands such a language! Could you take a screenshot of a right to left 
language as it looks at the moment, and explain what's wrong and what needs to 
change?

Hi!

Thanks for the response. It took me some time to return here.

The problems and the proper display of Hebrew texts were discussed properly in 
this paper though no way recommendation as to how to correct it:
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb20-1/tb62tole.pdf

If it is not clear, then please let me know. I wish to help clear things.

Thanks.

Hey,

Thanks for the link, though I'm afraid we're going to need a bit more 
information about specifically what doesn't display properly in Quelea (and 
what it should display as) to be able to fix it - I can't really tell directly 
from looking at that article!

If you have a screenshot or two of what an incorrect display of the text looks 
like in Quelea, and then a mockup of what it should look like, we can go from 
there and hopefully then look to fix the issues.

Thanks,
