Hi All,

I want to take some suggestions on the subject mentioned.

Mozilla will be integrating Nepali keyboard layout in Firefox OS.

As we have some few keyboard layouts, which one should be proposed for
integration?
traditional; ब क म ा न
or the romanized one?

Also, is there Nepali input layout in android,ios and other mobile
platforms?I don't have android, ios, and the mobile platform I use "maemo"
has romanized Nepali.
If yes then can we just use the same layout or will there be stupid
copyright issues in layout too?

So the main question here is which layout to use.

I hope we can disucss on the topic and maybe bring out a proper standard
solution.

Regards

Hi Avash ji,
LTK will be more than happy to have it's layouts being used for FireFox OS,
if they are applicable.

दुखका साथ भन्नु पर्छ "WE DO NOT HAVE DEVANAGARI INPUT STANDARD"

I don't know about separate LTK layout of Devanagari keyboard. Have to see
before discussing. Whatever the traditional layout; i.e. ब क म ा न
keyboard, ज्ञ (not a single character), ई, घ, द्ध (not a single character,
separately not necessary), छ, ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण, ओ phonemes and all numbers and
some symbols are kept in the upper row which is not distributed according
to the international keyboard layout standard. If you say 'anyway it works
thats why its OK, it does no matter. When you have to do different types
of job like automatic input transliteration mapping from one language to
another e.g. from Nepali to English, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali and Arabic
etc) automatic key-stroke mapping becomes problematic.
At least Romanized layout followed some international layout norms. But
there are some characters to be added to complete Romanized layout.
Again दुखका साथ have to say
"WE DO NOT HAVE DEVANAGARI INPUT STANDARD"

लक्ष्मीजी,
कुरो "मानक" छैन भन्दै अनन्त कालसम्म त्यसको पर्खाइमा बस्ने हो या हाल
उपलब्धलाई प्रयोगमा ल्याई त्यसका कमी कमजोरीको विश्लेषणका साथ मानकको बहस
र निर्माण प्रयासलाई अघि बढाउने भन्ने हो?
LTK को कुनै नयाँ किबोर्ड ले-आउट नभई उही पुरानो MPP ले निर्माण गरेकै ले-आउट हो।
