There are numerous [[keyboard layouts]] in use for various [[languages]] in different [[countries]] on different physical keyboard arrangements. Ideally, we would provide XO-1s with |

The Happiness Charity University aims to provide a caring, safe along with enhancing encounter; each youngster is inspired to formulate powerful individual, academic, actual physical and creative skills for lifelong understanding. |
|||
In practice, OLPC cannot customize XO-1s to this degree. It is expensive to create tooling, even for printing keyboard layouts, and more expensive to manufacture in small batches and to track and warehouse the number of SKUs (Stock-Keeping Units) that would be required. This is a particular problem for G1G1 in Europe, where there are dozens of languages and layouts in use, and no way to forecast demand for each. |
|||
The [[XO-2]], with a touch screen graphical keyboard, will go a long way to solve this problem. It is much easier to provide a localized flash image for a country and language than to modify the hardware. |
|||
Many countries will have a single configuration that satisfies the vast majority of users. [[Peru]], [[Uruguay]], and [[Mexico]], for example, can have the same Latin American Spanish keyboard for their default, with the ability to switch to the US alternative international keyboard, formerly known as US International, us_intl. Similarly for [[Ethiopia]], [[Cambodia]], or [[Mongolia]]--one native keyboard as the default, with easy switching to US English. The ×÷ key on the US layout is repurposed on other layouts as a keyboard switching key to cycle through a set of layouts. The configuration file on an XO-1 [[Customizing NAND images#Keyboard|can be set up]] for three or even more keyboard layouts to access with the keyboard switching key. |
|||
But what about other countries? [[Nigeria]] has [[http://www.ethnologue.org/show_country.asp?name=NG more than 500 languages]], nine of them designated official languages. OLPC has support for [[Hausa]], [[Igbo]], and [[Yoruba]] so far. [[Afghanistan]]'s principal languages are [[Dari]] and [[Pashto]], and there are others of importance. In Muslim countries, it is important to be able to write [[Arabic]] as well. [[India]] has [http://www.ethnologue.org/show_country.asp?name=IN 22 official languages out of more than 400 in use] in ten different [[writing systems]]. Latin-alphabet keyboard layouts differ in the arrangement of letters (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY) in the accented letters and extra letters provided (é ñ ø å Đ), in currency symbols (€$₣₤₨₩₪₯), and in punctuation such as quotation marks (‘’ ‚‛ “” „‟ «»). Cyrillic and Arabic for various languages have various added letters and sometimes radically different keyboard layouts. |
|||
Well, the plan is to ask governments how many units should be built for each language group in their countries. |
|||
==GiveOneGetOne Europe== |
|||
G1G1 for Europe can't work that way. There are 27 member countries in the European Union, plus a number of candidate countries, and several co-operating non-member countries. Countries that will likely insist on support for their layouts include |
|||
* UK English |
|||
* France AZERTY |
|||
* Germany and Austria QWERTZ |
|||
* Switzerland Swiss German (default) and Swiss French layouts, and Italian |
|||
* Spain Spanish (significantly different from Latin American layout) |
|||
* Italy Italian |
|||
There must be some support for Greek and some Cyrillic layouts. European languages written in Cyrillic are Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian, each with a different layout. Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and Russia are not included in this version of Europe. |
