Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17881
transliteration
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:11:32 UTC
It might be a very good feature to allow transliteration type of documents into the writer program. As you know, what it can do is lets say you have to type "hum" in Hindi in devanagari script. What a person is expected to do is change his/her keyboard to hindi and start typing in hindi, he is expected to know the hindi keyboard...if this can be extended to allow you type "hum" in english and the program converts this to "hum" in devanagari script and displays both the english and hindi letters. Later if the person dicides that hindi was not what he wanted but he wants arabic..the program just changes all these to arabic. The phonetic of the word in all three languages remains "hum" only the script changes. The advantage of this system is that if a person knows the language but does not know to write in it or lets say there are two people who want to communicate and one can write/read/speak in english + speak arabic other can speak/write/read arabic only There is an excellant program which gives this feature and it is also available free. The web site is http://www.baraha.com/ but it would be nice if this gets built into OpenOffice. No other office suite has this feature...so good to start before competition thinks of it.

Hi, I am strongly agree with you. This translation program would be really helpful for people who want to communicate with other foreigners. And, this would be a great learning tool, because you can learn new vocabulary while having the language you know displaces with the foreign language together.
