This page is for openmoko localization.

Adding UTF-8 input support to e

E input doesn't work without proper locale, therefore you must install and use a utf8 locale. I made a package that creates en_US.utf8 locale and sets it on boot time. if you have any bug fixes/suggestions please let me know. (TAsn)

Package: Locale

What it generally does:

  1. installs all dependencies
  2. installs locale-gen script (took from arch linux and removed a deprecated section)
  3. generates locales
  4. adds the locale to the system by adding a script to profile.d/locale.sh


Known issues: The correct keyboard layout should be loaded before use. Either by a hack like in: xmodmap or by proper layout loading.

According to raster (and verified by me), the e version used by openmoko is old and this was resolved in later versions. Should update the distro's build version.
