--- Comment #3 from Indranil Das Gupta <indr...@gmail.com> --- This patch integrates Wikimedia's jQuery.IME multi-lingual input method jQuery based library with Koha, for the OPAC as well as the staff client. Browser based on-the-fly transliterated input on the OPAC was a long-standing requirement particularly in the Indian Koha user community. Indian government recognises 22 official languages for the purpose of official correspondance. The earlier attempts to add GoogleIndicTransliteration was a step in this direction. But that attempt did not clear finally QA. Google Transliteration API was deprecated in June 2011 and it's general Terms of Service (ToS) are not FOSS friendly. In contrast, jQuery.IME is dual-licensed under GPLv2+ and MIT. It is a key component of Wikimedia's global language engineering stack. At present, this represents robust, well tested support for over 135 input methods spanning over 67 languages. Test Plan: 1) Install the patch. 2) Update the database (so that the new system preferences are inserted) 3) Go to Administration -> System Preferences -> I18N/L10N in the staff client. 4) Under "Multi-Lingual keyboard", "Enable" the UsejQueryIMEonOPAC system preference. Open the OPAC, and click inside the search box after page load. You should see small keyboard graphics attached to the bottom right edge of the search box. 5) Click on the keyboard graphics to expand the drop-down. Select your language. The drop-down will close. 6) Click again on the keyboard icon, it should now offer the list of input methods available for the language selected in step 5. 7) You should be able to type in your chosen input method. To switch back to English while on that page press CTRL+M. This toggles between input methods while on the page. 8) Repeating step #4 about to select "Do not enable", will disable the jQuery.IME support. 9) Repeat steps #3 to #8 with the other syspref UsejQueryIMEonStaff and check accordingly in the Staff Client interface. The results should be same as with the OPAC. NOTE 1: For a language to work, the operating system should have UTF-8 support and in the case of Indic and other asian languages Complex layout rendering support and the necessary fonts. NOTE 2: A set of screenshot showing steps 5, 6 and 7 using the OPAC.
