In skimming the Pango mailing list recently, I ran across this image of the
Unicode support for various languages in IE5:
jbeda@microsoft.com/unicode.gif">http://screenshots.userland.com/pictures/jbeda@microsoft.com/unicode.gif
For each of 40+ languages, they display a translation of the following
phrase, which is evidently a slogan for the international Unicode
conferences:
"When the world wants to talk, it speaks Unicode"
I've always been interested in compelling ways to keep track of our current
level of support for various languages, and this seemed like a really cool
way to do so. So I:
- tracked down a few of the UTF8 variants of this document online,
- converted the contents to AbiWord,
- added language tags (to allow us to test spellcheck), and
- merged information about ispell dictionaries.
Thus, if you'd like to see how good a job we're doing so far, load the
following document:
abi/test/wp/world.abw
Enjoy!
Paul
