Community Languages Online

September 21st, 2007 by Andrew Cunningham

The Community Languages Online report has been published on the eGovernment Resource Centre.

The report explores current practice and future directions of multilingual information on Victorian Government websites. It details findings and recommendations from research into how multilingual web-based government information can be created and used in the best way for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

This report was produced for the former Department for Victorian Communities (now part of the Department of Planning and Community Development) by Vicnet, a division of the State Library of Victoria.

  2. Andrew Cunningham Says:

    A Thok Nath/Nuer keyboard is available at http://tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/details.php?KeyboardID=386&FromKeyman=0 or if you already have Keyman installed go to http://www.openroad.net.au/languages/african/nuer/keyboards.html

    We are currently planning a keyboard to support multiple Sudanese languages.

    Hello,I need to write in language of Nuer,please,help me

  4. Andrew Cunningham Says:

    Hi Peter, you didn’t indicate which operating system you use. For Windows XP, you could use Keyman Desktop and a Nuer keyboard package, see http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/details.php?KeyboardID=386

    A Win32 style keyboard layout is also available at
    http://www.openroad.net.au/languages/african/nuer/msklc-nuer14.zip

    Also have access to a keyboard layout for the Mac OS X.

    You will need to download and install appropriate fonts for Nuer, and if you are using Windows XP, you will need to enable complex script support on your computer.

    Have a look at http://www.openroad.net.au/dev/wiki/doku.php/african/start for further information.

    I need to write in the Nuer language. I have a Mac. Where can I download and install fonts for Nuer. Thanks a lot!

  6. Andrew Cunningham Says:

    Hi Shiela,

    I’m not familiar with any AAT fonts suitable for Nuer. Best option is to install OpenType fonts. The following fonts should be suitable:

    Not sure of the status of OT support on latest versions of the Mac. In the past OT support differed between various applications.

    I’ll try to dig up the MacOS Nuer keyboard layout i have laying around.
