Hi Robin,
> like to open it up to Linux users too. Have you got any ideas on typing > Bangla into webpage from Linux? Not directly no. Taneem is the best person for this. The method I use for instance in www.dmoz.org/Test/World/bengali is to type up the stuff in lekho then copy and paste into the text fields in opera as utf-16, and that's worked without a hitch so far. -kaushik > > Robin > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kaushik Ghose [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 27 September 2002 18:02 > To: Robin Upton > Subject: bangla dict followup (fwd) > > > Here's my initial mail/proposal > I think it'd be a good idea to have the dict in XML format, that gives > flexibility and plain text is always good. > -kg > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 22:14:26 -0400 (EDT) > From: Kaushik Ghose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], bangla penguin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: bangla dict followup > > Hi, > Here's an idea. > What if we had a filter that picked out bangla words from unicode docs and > compared it with a (growing) bangla dictionary.
