Re: Re:Re: [dev] Re:Re: [dev] how to build in specific language

Hi ºúÆäͼ,

let me summarize.

OOo does not have a full script type support: we use a hard coded table 
that assigns a script type to an ISO locale. Thus each locale can be 
used only with one script type. For "Mongolian" this means that the "mn" 
locale can be either used with traditional writing or with Cyrillic 
writing. Currently OOo uses the latter, by changing code (or adding a 
configuration item) it could be switched to use traditional Mongolian 
script (with some effort even on a per-document base). But it won't be 
possible to use both scripts in the same document.

For further discussion of this problem please refer to issue 88665:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88665

Badral Sanligin ([email protected]) provided us with a first 
implementation of the necessary writing direction support in the Writer 
code. We had several iterations to get some bugs fixed, added some 
support for object positioning etc. But it's still not done so that we 
don't think that the code is good enough to enable the new td-lr writing 
mode in our UI. If you want, you can start working on this, perhaps 
together with Badral. I will support you where possible.

The first work from Badral will be available on the DEV300 code line 
soon and I will notify you when it's integrated.

Best regards,
Mathias

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
