Re: LibreOffice Online Chinese support issues

        Hi Michael,
        
        My name is Jun Ma, i'm Xipeng's colleague, i'll take over the work to try my 
best implementation Chinese input.
        Thank you very much for your suggestions, that sounds great. Thank you for your work. We 
will try the javascript side to support IME.
        As far as i know, the javascript side should implemention something like composition events 
to get the "unicode string" produced by IME, and then send the string to server. If i 
understand wrong, please correct it, thank you.
        But i have a problem about the IME popup window, i don't know how to overlay it at the 
cursor point, could you give me some suggestions in detail?

        
        
        
        Best Regards,

                Thank you, that's great. We are trying to implement work javascript side. We 
hope to have good progress.

e-mail contact you later.

Hi Xipeng Song,

        Sure - exactly; so - we need a way of injection not just key-codes into
the text - but full UTF-8 / unicode strings as produced by the IME. In
gtk+ language that's an IM commit - and the internal event is
SALEVENT_EXTTEXTINPUT - almost certainly we would want to simulate that
internally. Wrt. the IME popup windows, and so on I'd hope we can
overlay that in the browser at the cursor point.

        Right.

        Sure - thanks for digging into this.

        If you can get the javascript side to work nicely for you (with the IME
pieces) and give us a clean UTF-8 string - I'd be happy to implement the
"commit" piece on the protocol / server side.

        Does that make sense ?

        ATB,

                Michael.
