Public bug reported: Google Contacts has fields for "Phonetic first name" and "Phonetic last name" which can be used to type a romanized spelling of a name in another script that is used for sorting and speech recognition. I especially appreciate the sorting. Unfortunately on my Ubuntu phone such names end up at the bottom of the list instead and I can't even see the romanized name in the details.
I also tried using the nickname field as a work-around but it's ignored just the same. ** Affects: address-book-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to address-book-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507767 Title: Make use of phonetic name for sorting Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Google Contacts has fields for "Phonetic first name" and "Phonetic last name" which can be used to type a romanized spelling of a name in another script that is used for sorting and speech recognition.
