Yes, it is a java script issue. But users in all wikis are not experts in
java script to fix this issue. We know that something needs to be done in
commons.js or vector.js, but we are unable to figure it out.
Hence solutions from experienced users who know java script is very much
appreciated. May be some one can provide us different types of solutions
reagrding the placement of check box. But this feature is a must for wikis
that use non-latin scripts.

I think it's just a JS issue. Another thing is how
to place the checkbox
(or another switch tool) and not to screw up the top-right of the page. I
would place just checkbox with no label to the right of the search button.
It's quite acceptable if you'll pin this stuff to #p-search.

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 control 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
