Hello! I created code to be able to write in swl from the keyboard. The abreviation swl is the ISO-639-3 language code for Swedish sign language. This code could be included in xkb. The files I created are available at http://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/typsnitt/swlkbmap.xkb and http://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/typsnitt/swl_base.xmlpart A png of the layout is available at http://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/typsnitt/swlkbmap.png A sans serif font for swl is available at http://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/typsnitt/swl_sans.ttf Further information in English is available at http://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/typsnitt/#swl_engl Regards! Saašha,
This is quite interesting - but I am afraid there are not many people using it. Would we put that into "extras" section of the directory, in base.extras.xml.in ?
Here is a clarification about the Swedish Sign Language: According to http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=swl the Swedish Sign Language (ISO 639-3: swl) has "8,000 deaf primary users". The Swedish Sign Language is also used by thousands of people who are not deaf to communicate with other Swedish Sign Language users, for example friends, colleagues, teachers, etc. of deaf people and also by interpreters, totalling a number of users for the Swedish Sign Language that can be estimated to a couple of tens of thousands of people. The Swedish Sign Language is almost exclusively used in Sweden and its software snippets will be most easily found when placed within the "Sweden" section. Regards! Saašha,
ok, thanks. Committed.
