Re: [Openadaptxt-linguists] New Language

[Chris B. <cbi...@gm...>]

Actually, I meant it differently. Samoan and English are seperate
languages, we dont need to mix them in the sense that our sentences
are mixed (apart from some nouns). But they're both used here, so for
instance my spell check autocorrect software will do either or both
simultaneously without the need for changing any language settings,
keyboard layouts etc..
While Maori entails changing your keyboard layout, downloading
additional software, changing language settings and I don't know what
else and only works on Windows, there's a whole different process for
other OS's, and a bunch of jiggery-pokery before it all starts
working.
My way you just double-click the install and it starts working,
doesn't matter what OS, or version etc.... Then  whether you choose to
use Samoan or English or a mixture is immaterial, it will handle the
lot without any user intervention.
Ideally this is what I want my adaptext project to do as well.
