Hello All,
I am from Malayalam Wikipedia (
http://ml.wikipedia.org) and I coordinated
the recent Usability change efforts for Malayalam Wikipedia. Let me ask a
question that is directly related to the new UI (vector). This question is
relevant only to languages that use non-Latin scripts.
In most of the non-latin language wikis there is a transliteration script
that we use for typing the text in the respective language/script. This is a
javascript. For Monobook, many wikis have placed a control box near the
search box to switch on/off the transliteration script. See the attached
image (*monobook.png*) to get an idea where it is placed.
When we over switched to Vector, this c*ontrol box disappeared*.
*Transliteration
is still working*. See the attached image (*vector_existing.png*) to see the
existing state.
We want to add this control box near the search box as shown in the image *
vector_modified.png*. Can some one please guide us in this regard?
Many Indian languages wikimedians have asked me this question, since we
switched over to new skin on 2010 June 30. All the other language wikipedias
are getting ready for the change. All languages that use transliteration
scheme has this issue.
So a solution will benefit all the languages that use transliteration
script.
Thanks
Shiju Alex
