IME support for non-latin Unicode characters (CJK, Arabic, etc.) #29

greggman · 2014-02-11T11:29:41Z

Trying to type Chinese, Japanese or Korean in OSX fails in the editor fails.

In other words, make a Button, click on the text field, try to type ロード. It doesn't work. Copying from somewhere else and trying to paste it in doesn't work either.

I suppose that in order for this to work, a CJK font should be provided. Do
you know of any good CJK font that could be bundled with Godot for this?

Does it need to ship with a font? It seems like all the OSes Godot runs on have those fonts built in.

reduz · 2014-02-11T11:42:55Z

The UI is rendered using OpenGL, so getting the fonts from the host OS is
quite more work

That seems like it's going to be very problematic. The OS needs to be able to render the UI for entering Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc... So, at a minimum you'll need OS specific code for each platform to talk to that platform's IME so tell it where to position itself and also to either feed it keystrokes or let it read the keyboard so it can correctly handle input in those languages.

I wonder if Sublime handles this since it also uses GL to render.... (checking)....Yes, it does. Hmmm. Maybe we can find another project that does this cross platform that is open source and see what they do

I experience the same issue for the Turkish characters ğ,ş,ı. However I think that the problem is only about showing the characters and can be fixed with just a font. When I type the special characters to a script file inside the editor they are added to the text but are invisible. If I highlight the invisible characters and copy them, I can paste them to an external text field without any problems.

reduz · 2014-02-11T20:35:57Z

Yes IME needs to be supported, that's likely the most diffuclt part.
Luckily, SDL2 supports IME and can be used as a reference I guess.

May I suggest DroidSansFallback as bundled font with CJK support.
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/data/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

It's licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/data/fonts/NOTICE

According to: http://www.droidfonts.com/droidfonts/
This font contains over 43,000 glyphs and includes support for Simplified Chinese (GB2312), Traditional Chinese (Big 5), Japanese (JIS 0208) and Korean (KSC 5601).

which should be enough for most tasks.

Calinou · 2015-04-08T19:20:21Z

What about Noto Sans? http://www.google.com/get/noto/

We could even use it as the default Godot font, it's great as a system font. Very readable.

michaeldesu · 2015-04-09T09:32:44Z

Thanks Calinou - it's a nice font. As an experiment, I just tried one Japanese font at random (NotoSansJP-Medium), and found it to be a nice editor font.

ghost · 2015-07-19T03:04:41Z

i'd go for GNU unifont as it has about 60k glyphs is monospaced and is bitmap pixel font http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html

reduz · 2015-07-19T08:18:26Z

Definitely want to add proper internationalization for 1.2, as the new site
will support it too

At least add Korean and Japanese support as those 2 countries are the biggest consumers of games. If you guys could somehow even add Korean and Japanese input to engine (Godot interface and Godot games) would open up the engine and games to a huge market. I mean just saying. The interface (and games) can easily be internationalized and translated with the help of volunteers. Even a last step the ability to support unicode variables in GDScript like Python does would be nice too.

reduz · 2015-07-19T11:24:46Z

To avoid mistakes, Godot already supports displaying text in CJK, it's just
the editor that can't be internationalized

@reduz mentioned wanting to fix this in 1.2 (now 2.0), but I'm not sure it's still in the planned roadmap for 2.0 as we're nearing to beta stage, so setting to "Later" for now.

To avoid mistakes, Godot already supports displaying text in CJK, it's just
the editor that can't be internationalized

Is it only about internationalizing the editor? From what I gathered it seems to be more about missing IME support, which prevents inputing CJK characters (regardless of whether the editor itself is in English or internationlized).

nunodonato · 2016-06-01T19:34:03Z

isn't this solved by the recent commits of new fonts and internationalization?

the issue mentions OSX specifically so I can't test...

reduz · 2016-06-01T19:36:15Z

I'm not sure if IME is working properly for those languages

@yixiaoqingyuz try to copy chinese and paste in labels/strings. it wont be displayed in the script editor but works in the editor and in the game i u have the right font

yixiaoqingyuz · 2016-06-04T08:36:14Z

@trollworkout yes, the Japanese can be pasted in labels,but can't be typed

Request detectable auto-repeat (Require XKB extension) to support echo events and IME at the same time. Fixes godotengine#29, godotengine#7106 and godotengine#9381.

Workaround for IME and echo events on Linux (fixes #29 #7106 #9381):

Workaround for supporting input method frameworks like SCIM, IBus, Fcitx, etc. The locale is set when the application starts. Workaround for input when the input context within the specified input method is not available.
