Components
Weblate is an online open-source translation platform where open-source projects are translated. Suggestion are being made in translation editor component.
Problem
Most of the PC's having English keyboard, and to make other translation we have to use other language keyboard.
Example:
I am Urdu (Pakistani Language) translator. There are two options for me to translate.
- I use online Urdu language keyboard. Then i copy translation from that and paste on Weblate.
- I download Urdu typing keyboard software and type and copy from that and paste to Weblate.
I am not talking about mobile phones, mobile phones always having local language keyboard. I am talking about desktop.
Proposal
As i defined problem above, i am suggesting a button below translation editor "Virtual Keyboard".
Yes! i am suggesting a virtual keyboard in translation editor on website.
This will increase user experience.
Mockups / Examples
Benefits
There will be more easiness for local translators. Translators of language other than English will find more better user experience. All requirements are fulfilled on a single website.
