I’ve read the blog. Very nice to know that your team has put in all the effort to make all those significant improvement to the app. I’ve downloaded and will give feedback as soon as possible.

About translate.keyman.com, are those the only languages to be translated or one can add their own language to the list?

Other languages can be added to the list. Just let us know which ones you’d like added. For some (like Nko or Tok Pisin), we added as custom languages.

Initial Caps and auto capitalisation after fullstop was supposed to be in Keyman 14. It seems that has not been implemented yet.

#6

Ok. I’ll like to add Obolo language.

#7

Yeah, this makes me sad too. We had to bump them to 15.0 because they were quite complex and we didn’t want to hold up 14.0 any longer. They are high on our priority list for 15.0.

#8

I’ve added Obolo to the list

Let me know if there’s issues with how plurals are handled. I went with the default of (one, other).

Hi, if possible, can you also add Karen language? The full name for the language is S’gaw Karen. Also, is there a way we can help contribute by translating phrases and words into Karen? Thank you!

Sorry for the late response. Yes we can add S’gaw Karen (ksw-mymr). Can you tell us how the language handles plurals?

  • one, other
  • one, two, other
  • one, few, other
  • one, few, many, other
  • one, two, few, other
  • one, two, few, many, other
  • zero, one, other
  • zero, one, two, few, many, other
  • other

That’s okay. I’m not sure what you mean by handling plurals.

I’m guessing it’s
•one, other

For example

(He) is my friend
အ မ့ၢ်ယသကိး

(They) are my friends
(အသု) မ့ၢ်ယသကိး

Both friend and friends in Karen are spelled the same. There is no singular or plural.

This is the flag for the Karen language.

I’ve added Translating Keyman to Sgaw Karen language (crowdin doesn’t allow special characters like ' in the language name)

Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64
Keyman Developer 14.0.216

App fails to launch with Error code: 0x0000007E (Error loading libcef.dll)

Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions on how to resolve?

BTW, the file is installed; although apparently it can not load; however, no further information is provided. So, I can’t see any method to determine why it won’t load.

Thank you so much!

Hi @Jolene, apologies for the slow reply. Make sure you have Keyman Desktop installed as well – Keyman Developer still has some dependencies on Keyman Desktop.
