Description musafir_86 2005-03-16 04:42:58 UTC
Dear Sir,

-I hope you include the ability to make OpenOffice's Writer (& others) 
automatically switch :

-the language,
-keyboard layout,
-numeral formatting,

when the user select Right-To-Left document layout (e.g. Arabic). The CTL 
(Complex Text Layout) language will be set according to "Tools->Options-
>Language Settings->Languages" (such as Arabic (Saudi Arabia)).

-The numeral formatting (Tools->Options->Language Settings->CTL) should be 
automatically set according to language selected (e.g. Hindi when "Arabic 
(Saudi Arabia)" is selected).

-The language, keyboard, & numeral will be restored when he/she select Left-To-
Right layout.

-Also, the Hindi & Arabic numerals should be CO-EXIST inside ONE document.

#References:

-These features have long been inside Microsoft Office :
(1)Tools->Options->Edit->Auto-keyboard switching (MS-Word 2002).
(2)Tools->Options->Complex Scripts->Numeral->Context (MS-Word 2002).

I hope you will give high priority to this issue. Most Malaysian (& Middle 
East) users will appreciated this.

Thank you.

Regards,
-Abdul Ghafur Ismail.
