Another thing to consider is making input methods available separately from content or UI language: we have a lot of mixed-language wikis, and not everybody's going to want to switch their preferences (or figure out 'uselang=' URL magic) just to type a little bit. Even for single-language wikis like the Wikipedias, you might want to say type a name in a language you know, on a wiki that's in another language you know. This could be a case for a user preference, like enabling of additional input methods in full-blown operating systems: usually if you're typing in a language that doesn't use input methods, they'll never get in your way but you can select some languages and now you get a status bar icon or such where you can pick from your options. Would benefit from global preferences, too! While we're in there, I've added Esperanto conversion rules to Narayam (trunk r85504) -- it seems to work really nice! I'd strongly consider dropping the old server-side conversion system for this if it's ready to roll by 1.18. (Making quick notes on bugs 3615 and 21781 to this effect.) -- brion

Santhosh who made it is probably the best and I can try to answer questions about it too. On 8 April 2011 18:48, Trevor Parscal <tparscal(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström
