Hello there
We work for the Icelandic National Institute for the Blind (incidentally it is
located in Iceland, believe it or not). :)
With much appreciated assistance from our buddy Ben Van Poppel, who is very
interested in the language, we have created the necessary/corect format files
for LibLouis (I believe) and we wish to add Icelandic to the project, so we can
reap the benefits of using it with NVDA, Orca etc.
Icelandic has no contractions (grade II) at this point so it is a simple
character mapping.
The language has a few rules for how to present text formatting etc, and I am
not familiar enough with LibLouis yet to know if these can be specified in some
format, but initially we just want to add the language support into LibLouis.
Can you tell me what steps I need to take with the files to get them submitted,
and what the process will be like after that (how long will it take to add it,
is there anything we need to do additionally etc)?
Sorry if this has been asked many times before, pointing me to a relevant page
is fine, but I believe only contributors can submit files and I have not earnt
that status.
Thanks very much for any hints on the topic, we will respond promptly to any
work items that have to be resole and look forward to enlightening our users on
open source software possibilities supported via this initiative.
Thank you
-Birkir
