Maybe if we hack the code a bit.

Re: [Mer] Crowdsourcing for on screen keyboard layouts
 

Problems:

Italian: don't use È, use the &#200 ; (or the UTF-8 character).

French: You used ISO8859, instead of UTF-8.

Farsi: Used < & instead of &lt; &amp;

Portuguese: I did not find the problem yet, but the file does not parse. Can you replace most of the xml entities with UTF-8 characters?

If someone wants to try, package is at:
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/him...mer1_armel.deb
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/him...-6mer1.diff.gz


To use:

* Install package.
* Reboot (maybe something else should work?).
* select language with command

gconftool-2 --type string -s /apps/osso/inputmethod/hildon-im-languages/language-1 fa_IR

* select Keyboard (arabic) from Keyboard menu, and then second language in Language menu.
* EN (key below Tab) switches between English keyboard and currently selected language keyboard.

OK I did the change.

Re: [Mer] Crowdsourcing for on screen keyboard layouts
 

Before I run all the edits again, do you think it might be due to the fact that I'm editing it in Windows? Is there a text-editor in Windows you'd recommend? Notepad doesn't recognize line breaks but Wordpad does, thought it would be OK, but it might be causing the problem.

My 3g modem doesn't work in Linux (in short, ZTE is a ***** :mad: )

Is there anyway to circumvent this? I could go to my Ubuntu install and edit it from there, but I'd have to bounce back and forth every time just to upload the file. Would appreciate if there was an easier solution(?)

Is your 3g modem USB? If so you could somehow install Windows under Virtualbox, then install your 3g modem in Windows (Virtualbox supports USB-access to guest OS) and then set the virtual network (between Windows and Ubuntu) so that the Guest OS shares the 3g internet access with the Host OS ;)

Send a fixed german keyboard layout.
the one attached didn't work for me.

There seems something to be wrong wit the german umlaute, like ä,ö,ß and so on.
