No support for Chinese inputs (Traditional, Simplified)
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
Currently, there is no support for Chinese inputs, such as Traditonal Chinese
inputs and Simplified Chinese inputs.
Most Android versions of Hacker's Keyboard supports Traditional Chinese and
Simplified Chinese inputs, but I don't see them.
Will the inputs be available in future releases and fix this issue?

I added a FAQ entry for this just now:
https://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Can_you_
add_support_for_Chinese/Japanese/Korean/(other_specific
The current code is strongly oriented to alphabetic languages and is based on a
fairly simple mapping from keypresses to output characters. Ideographic
languages with complex input methods would need very different approaches, and
I do not plan to support Chinese/Japanese/Korean and similar languages due to
their complexity and lack of language knowledge on my part. Note that you can
easily keep multiple keyboards installed and manually switch between them, for
example using Hacker's Keyboard just for SSH while using the system keyboard
for other applications.
