Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45141
Automatic Language, Keyboard & Numeral Switching.
Last modified: 2014-03-14 11:17:33 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.
