Possible support for other Asian languages?
ferrywlto opened this issue · comments
Would like to know is there any possibility to have other Asian languages (e.g. Traditional Chinese) support?
If it can be done where should I get started so I could contribute a PR?
Thanks!
Hello!
We have all the components to support Asian languages. So we will try to implement it in April.
If we can't get other Asian language printers, we will release it as an experimental implementation, so please test it if you can.
Thank you.
@receiptline What about Arabic?
Hello!
At this time, we are not supporting Arabic in receiptline.
This is because the printer's command system (ESC/POS, StarPRNT, etc.) does not support Arabic.
It is possible to print images that contain Arabic.
Thanks!
@receiptline Okay, But when i print image with arabic characters it's not RTL, and it's messy not correct!
Thanks for your work on ReceiptLine and Happy New Year.
Is there any planned support for Thai language?
@zakaria-chahboun You're right. Currently, RTL is not supported.
@experimenti Currently, Thai language is not supported because the command specification is different for each manufacturer.
We will consider supporting both languages in SVG and make them printable with "as Image" option.
Thank you.
We will soon release a version that supports Thai characters.
Epson TM series (South Asia model) and Star MC series (StarPRNT model) can print with device font of Thai characters.
