And you are forced to use mouse or change keymap No, that is incorrect. You can have (a) an English key as accelerator, (b) a Hindi (or, other language) key as accelerator, or (c) both. As I was misremembering, I just checked this with the Oriya translation for gedit. Maybe, an example of a translation, as given below, would help. (For people not familiar with a PO file, the msgid line contains the English string to be translated, and the msgstr line the corresponding translation). Let us take the File menu item as an example: 1. English key: msgid _File msgstr #2347;#2366;#2312;#2354; (_F) 2. Hindi key: msgid _File msgstr #2347;#2366;#2312;#2354; (_#2347;) 3. Both: msgid _File msgstr #2347;#2366;#2312;#2354; (_F,_#2347;) Regards, Gora __ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.

Yes, I have an applet on the panel and use that to switch The problem is either due to a misconfigured keyboard as you surmise, or possibly an error in the Hindi keyboard map. I have (as suggested by Kenneth Gonsalves) tried pressing all the key and key combinations but all the characters are not there. The problem is compounded by the ctrl function keys resulting in characters rather than sofware control keys . Eg Ctrl A = select all results in ctrl a = ो instead of select all ctrl c = म instead of copy ctrl v = न instead paste ctrl z = ॆ ctrl y = ब etc, etc ू If you give me the above information, I can try to fix the problem.

[ilugd] *Hello* : keyboard problem with hindi
Hi Continuing with the discussion on indic languages on Linux. I have a new problem OS - Ubuntu Computer Armada - E 500 Laptop I was trying to use hindi to type a letter in OOo the problem is a. that the shift keys don't work b. the ctrl function keys through up hindi characters, instead of the function. Till yesterday I was writing only simple words and short sentances - so the problem did not come up The Keyboard chosen is a Generic 104 keys PC keyboard. Could this be the problem and should I choose anyother keyboard (from the list) or is the problem elsewhere thanks ram ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
