What is unicode.js?

33 |

34 | A small and easy to use javascript library to enable native input support in textfields. It uses Google Transliteration API 35 | combined with some javascript to enable unicode support in text input fields and textareas or anything where user can type in. 36 |

37 |

38 | This library is currently version 0.0 and is released under MIT license. Therefore, you are free to modify and use this library under 39 | the license terms provided by MIT. By using this library you accept the license agreement. 40 |

41 |

Explanation

42 |

43 | Every input text field is created using <input type="text"/>. By default these text fields only accept 44 | english characters. So if the website is in language other than english, the users still have to type in english in sections like comment box, 45 | feedback box or search inputs. 46 |

47 |

48 | unicode.js tries to solve this problem to some extent. The developer can create normal text fields with two new attributes class="unicode" 49 | and lang="supported language". With this minimal change the user can now type using the unicode of the specified language. Here supported 50 | language is the prefix of the language supported by this library. As it uses Google Transliteration API, the supported language is also 51 | the languages supported by this API. 52 |

53 |

Supported Languages with their Prefix

54 |
55 | NEPALI: 'ne',
56 | ENGLISH: 'en',
57 | RUSSIAN: 'ru',
58 | CHINESE: 'zh',
59 | GREEK: 'el',
60 | PERSIAN: 'fa',
61 | SERBIAN: 'sr',
62 | URDU: 'ur'

How to implement?

121 |

1. Include required libraries to your page.

122 |
123 | <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
124 | <script type="text/javascript" src="unicode.js"></script> 125 |

126 | 127 |

2. Now create normal text fields or text areas with two new attributes class="unicode" and lang="your language".

128 |
129 | <input type="text" class="unicode" lang="ru" /> //Russian
130 | <input type="text class="unicode" lang="el" /> //Greek
131 | <textarea class="unicode" lang="ne"></textarea> //Nepali 132 |
133 | 134 |

Limitations and Enhancement

135 |

136 | 1. Support for 24 languages only.

137 | 2. Google Transliteration API is declared deprecated in 2011 and is live under its deprecation policy.

138 | 3. Google translate is powerful but paid API so will try to find some alternatives in future enhancements.
