It is very important to us at the Editing Department that VisualEditor
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal> works
in every language, for every user.
VisualEditor's editing environment is a browser ContentEditable element.
This means that your input method editor
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method> (IME) should already know how
to work with it. However, to make VisualEditor correctly edit wiki pages,
we have to stop browsers in lots of ways from breaking the page.
Sometimes this can interfere with IMEs. To make sure we work in your IME,
we need your help: please see

<http://wikimedia.github.io/VisualEditor/demos/ve/desktop-dist.html#!pages/simple.html>*.
This is the core system inside VisualEditor which lets you write and edit.
It is different from the full editor, and some of the tools you are used to
will be missing.
We're interested in particular in whether you can write text at all, what
happens when you select different candidate texts, and how VisualEditor
behaves in general.
More details, and some early test results, are provided here:
*mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/IME_Testing#What_to_test
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/IME_Testing#What_to_test>*.
We would love to hear from every language, and especially languages which
use IMEs, like Japanese, Korean, Indic languages, Arabic and others. Thank
you for your help.
Yours,
