Hi ??????,

let me summarize.

OOo does not have a full script type support: we use a hard coded table that assigns a script type to an ISO locale. Thus each locale can be used only with one script type. For "Mongolian" this means that the "mn" locale can be either used with traditional writing or with Cyrillic writing. Currently OOo uses the latter, by changing code (or adding a configuration item) it could be switched to use traditional Mongolian script (with some effort even on a per-document base). But it won't be possible to use both scripts in the same document.

For further discussion of this problem please refer to issue 88665:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88665

Badral Sanligin (ba...@openoffice.org) provided us with a first implementation of the necessary writing direction support in the Writer code. We had several iterations to get some bugs fixed, added some support for object positioning etc. But it's still not done so that we don't think that the code is good enough to enable the new td-lr writing mode in our UI. If you want, you can start working on this, perhaps together with Badral. I will support you where possible.

The first work from Badral will be available on the DEV300 code line soon and I will notify you when it's integrated.

Best regards,
Mathias

Hi, I am a beginner in open office developer and need your help really!
I want to build open office in mongolian language specification, and that can 
support mongolian writing mode(something like td-lr, means top-down and 
left-right).
there are have a site to aware of td-lr 
mode:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531187(v=vs.85).aspx


thank you.

If I understand correctly, you want to use the traditional Mongolian
text layout.

This writing mode is still not supported in OOo. We have a CWS (feature
branch) that adds a first version of it and it is waiting for
integration. It needs some more work before we can offer it to users,
but if you wanted to work on that matter, we could help you getting
started. There is at least one more developer that is interested in
that, perhaps you can join forces.

Regards,
Mathias
