Title:
Language input (amharic) keyboard layout not correct. English letters
still present. Will attach screen shot to Case # 11240. SCIM or Imap
worked on 9.04 but don't work anymore (10.04)
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Tried to apply alternate language input method (Amharic/Ethiopian). System/Prefernces/Keyboard -layout-add...
However when you start typing you cannot input correct characters (some English characters a, o, still persist).
The Keyboard map for country=ethiopia confirms this finding. I.e. cannot be used to enter Amharic.
E.g. aደiሰ aበeበao
SCIM worked well in 9.04 but is not working for me now (Lucid 10.04).
Ethiopic/Amharic
Amharic and other languages of Ethiopia are written in a syllabary with too many symbols to fit on a simple keyboard. However, it can be typed in an IME. One types a base syllable, then a vowel, to get the syllable with the consonant from the base syllable plus the specified vowel.
This is the basic keyboard layout.
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [ ]
ቅ ው እ ር ት ይ ኡ ኢ ኦ ፕ [ ] \
አ ስ ድ ፍ ግ ህ ጅ ክ ል ፤
ዝ ሽ ች ቭ ብ ን ም ፣ . /
The syllable and vowel letters combine as in the following example.
For Type
ታ ት አ
ቶ ት ኦ
ተ ት እ
ቱ ት ኡ
ቲ ት ኢ
