Re: [Logicmail-devel] Development Version

[Louis T. <lou...@gm...>]

Hi Derek,

For the Vietnamese translation I've got feedback that they would like to see
English rather than Vietnamese since something like the English language
used in term of email is very similar to them rather than Vietnamese. They
really understand what is going on within the LogicMail. That's why I stop
for a while and listen to people. I think just leave the Vietnamese
translation for a while, just keep English and other languages. If many
people like to have it then they will suggest me which part should be
translated. For example, the word "Reply" is so familiar to people when
using email, some guys ask me that how can they reply?!?!!? Since I
translated the word "Reply" into Vietnamese correctly, but they are always
looking for the word "Reply"...Just the habit.

For the Input Method, it's all inside the keyChar method. The code checks
the Char key parameter, checks where the cusor is, and if it's in the
TextField related components. Then the code will detect the current
character right before the cursor. Then depends on the character right
before the cursor and the character(key) the user have just entered, the
code decides whether it's an attempting to create Vietnamese characters or
not. for example, if we type letter ' o ', and type ' o ' again right after,
it should create ' ô ' which is the Vietnamese character. The code will
delete the current character, ignore the one has been entered and return new
special Vietnamese character in stead. It's might not easy to understand for
u since my English gets worse and worse..LOL =))

So, if we would like to plug the Input Method into somewhere which has the
TextField components, then just put the code into the keyChar method.
Actually the code the TextField components so it can delete the last letter,
insert new letter...It's so far i have made. I also need to improve the code
too. Although the speed of handling character is good. It's as fast as
normal typing in English. However i will improve it in order to make it
better and better.

I guess that we need an option like u did for the Unicode Converter.
Something like Vietnamese Input Method, if it's checked, then the keyChar
method will touch my code, otherwise it will ignore the detecting code. Or
we can have Vietnamese version like Opera does or the VNLogicMail. I think
this will be the last part and I can plug it in easily. You don't need to
handle it, when your global version is ready then we think about Vietnamese
version. It's my opinion, like the Opera does for Opera Mini. then the
package is simple and neat.

That's what i am thinking. You can decide and let me know when possible.

Regards.

Louis Tang.
