Problems with languages
Posted: 2007-08-30 11:55:05
Hi,
I have some problems setting languages. I use Italian as default language, then other languages as English, French, German, all with the correspondent keyboard shortcut (ctrl-EN; ctrl-FR; ctrl-GE) dictionaries, thesauri (when available) and so on. No problem.
Problems arose when I try to set languages with specific keyboard layouts. I use Ancient Greek with a specific keyboard layout delivered from Linguist Software, so I need to set a new language, "Ancient Greek" with a secondary font, and a specific keyboard layout. When I close the dialogue window the settings related to the keyboard are lost.
The same thing happens when I use a second "language." It is a setting that I created to write words in Arabic, Hebrew, Greek with a font Roman with diacritics. In this case the "language" (which I named "transliterated") must maintain the same font, turn off spelling dictionaries etc., and switch to a specific keyboard layout, from Linguist Software. Because I am obliged to set a language "based on," I choose Italian, my default language. When I close settings, the keyboard of "transliterated" switches to Italian again.
I noted also that in the Menu Format>Language I have some languages duplicated: Italian with and without keyboard shortcut; Transliterated with and without keyboard shortcut; French with same characteristics.
How may I restore single languages, eliminating duplicates (in dialogue window Edit language I have only one Italian, Transliterated and so on) ?
Thank you very much
