Re: [Eliot-dev] Catalan language file and dictionary

[Joan Montané]

Hi,

In [1], you have an utf8 Catalan wordlist file. It's not oficial, but
it's the best Catalan wordlist publicy avaiable. Note: this file has
words with Ç,L·L,NY and QU.

About input methods, I think the best aproach for "special chars" is
allow two input strings, if needed: ascii and unicode. ascii single
char ensures an easy input (on foreing keyboard). Unicose char (or
string) allow a natural input for users with the good keyboard and
it's the information for the good output.

For example, in Catalan case:
K  10 1 0 1 Ç
W 10  1 0 1 L·L
Y  10  1 0 1 NY
Q  8  1 0 1 QU

So, the users can use: K,W,Y, Q chars instead of Ç,L·L,NY,QU tiles.
And when the multi-char support will be done, then also could we
possible to input, directly, L·L,NY,QU.

If only one input by tile is allowed, then, in Catalan case, the choose is:
Ç (for Ç tile)
W (for L·L tile)
Y (for NY tile)
Q (for QU tile)

Yours, Joan Montané
