Hi Tapan, Amit, Have a look at 2 sites: 1. ICU4J : http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu4j/ 2. IBM Developer Kit for Linux, Java 2 Technology Edition : https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p You can also look around for Indic transliterations in ICU. http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Transform.html Since Indix is under BSD, please report any errors you may find there. http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icu/license.html Regards, Abhijit ____________________________ Tapan Parikh <ta...@ya...> Sent by: To indic-computing-u sers-admin@lists. cc sourceforge.net Subject Re: [Indic-computing-users] Re: 22/09/2004 01:43 Indic-computing-users digest AM Does anyone know the current level of Indic support in most Java MIDP 2.0 implementations (input methods, rendering)? I know Symbian versions 6.1 and 7.0 dont support indic languages, but I think with v. 8.0 Hindi support is added.
