Thanks everyone for the feedback on the Beta 1 version of this software.

I have now teamed up with a linguist and have set up a public project for this. Please be a part of this project.

We've now released Beta 2:

With your participation, we hope to make this an exciting and useful project.

Thanks everyone for your comments and for taking part in the project... Our words database is growing every day, and we are going to release a new build every day for now. We will also try to incorporate any suggestions you may have. Please keep adding new words. It sounds like we're doing a right thing! :-)

लौ, अब भने सजिलो भयो ! तर अझै मेरो तर्फबाट यौटा सुझाब,
चन्द्रबिन्दुको लागि दिइएको बटन (" ^" ) जर्मन र फ्रेन्च किबोर्ड भएका कम्प्युटरमा सरसर्ती हेरेर पाउन सकिएन । त्यसैले यसको लागि अर्कै बटन (key) दिनसके म जस्ता प्रयोगकर्तालाइ सजिलो हुनेथियो !

Ocean,

We can do that. Do you have a suggestion?

Oki, what if we assign this great job to " ] " key ?:)

The "[" "]" are already used for temporarily turning off the 'Smart Converter'. Any other key? We would like to have something that is somehow visually indicative of the letter produced, which is why we picked ^ and *.

धेरै धेरै धन्यवाद, इकोज जी!

प्रजेश आचार्य

seems key "x" has nothing to do, has it?

Ocean,

Thanks. I will talk to our linguist about that.

But in the meantime, could you please tell us what letters you have on your keyboard that are on the SHIFT to the numbers (1, 2, 3, etc)... all the way on that row?

Thanks!

Ok, these are,

1= !
2= "
3=§
4 =$
5= %
6 =&
7 =/
8= (
9= )

midnight here, so goodnight ! c u laterz !

Echoes, aha!!! There you are... :D:D

How about fixing R's too? :P How do you write ग‍र्यो ??

गर्यो गरा गर्र्यो गर्यो गर्र्र्यो respectively for garyo garaa garryo garyo garrryo... see the difference? (I don't know what they are called tho.. hmmm)

ok Kalanki and others,

I am having trouble remembering but as far as I can recall, "garyo" should be written like "गर्र्यो" but without the "ref" on "yo". Otherwise, we have two half-r's, which does not make sense.

Is that correct?

दामि दामि, अब म पनि इकोश ब्रोलाई कङ्रचुलेसन भनै पर्यो।
अब म पनि केहि गर्नु पर्यो। वाँनाबि ले केहि गरेर देखाउने छ

tara its good work! :D

This is a total godsend!!

What more,

That was just an example. I don't remember how to write garyo, but as far as I remember, paryo is पर्‍यो. Another example, Ryaal is र्‍याल. The problem is it types "ref" on "yo" as well as the "dash" thing.

Just addressing it so that it will be easier for Echoes bro to fix it. It might have went unnoticed, but I believe, someone pointing it out makes it easier for a betterment of the software... :D

Thanks.

thanks Kalanki

You're welcome Whatmore... :D

Echoes bro, piraabalam... :P (Pretty soon Echoes gonna kick my butt :D)

Since you assigned "gya = ज्ञ", the ग and half ग (ग्लास) got totally messed up... :O bhaagyo jaagyo naagyo maagyo = भाज्ञो जाज्ञो नाज्ञो माज्ञो respectively.. eh... Nahiiii!!! :D

Tyo end ma khutta katne pani raakhum na... eh.. Geet lekhda kaam lagcha... like
भन्छन् na ma khutta kaating at the end... Thanks. :D

aarko pani auta problem bro

say you want to write

धत् मोरा कस्तो कुरा गर्छ
and you type dhat. gives you धत्। with "purna biram". you have to hit period to get that त् but it gives "purna biram right after than, and seems like the sentence end.
maybe im doing it wrong, kalanki, you know a way?

bhaa[g\yo = भाग्यो

bhanchha[n] = भन्छन्

dha[t] moraa kasto kura garchh . = धत् मोरा कस्तो कुरा गर्छ ।

smart conversion ignore the text between "[" and "]"
