Läs varför programmet blev till!
If you type, cut, copy and paste text to and
from web pages, emails and
word processors, using various computers, operating systems,
languages,
document encoding and keyboard settings and ALSO need to read
and write
Latvian text, then you know some of the hassles this can entail.
Also, for those of us accustomed to fast typing without macrons,
carons
and cedillas*, these nifty additions to our keyboard repertoire
can be
tedious and slow down the creative process.
Thats why I still prefer to type Latvian using the standard
ANSI
character set and my favorite simple notation. (Macron = double
vowel ;
Caron = append "h": Cedilla* append "j")
It reads correctly and easily,
is fast to write, and is by far the most effective way to get
the message
across in latvian. The often-abused alternative of simply omitting
accents
leads to awkward reading and possible misunderstandings.
But, however practical, it still looks terrible. Now that most
browsers,
operating systems and transfer protocols can deal with UTF-8
and win-1257
- encoded content, there is no excuse for documents on the web
with
"ISO-8859"** Latvian text, including in email,
chats and message boards.
To ultimately solve my problem I made a Text Latvianizer Tool I
can use
anywhere.
By applying a set of rules to my text and replacing the notated
bits with
actual latvian characters, I can write, preview, copy, paste
to other apps
and save my Latvianized output to a file.
Without any need for a latvian keyboard layout or driver. Just
adjust your
system/browser/email client view to support Unicode or a subset like UTF-8 or Windows
(Baltic) (windows-1257).
Amazingly simple yet simply amazing! I immediately wondered
why I didnt
make this widget as soon as I first thought of it a quite a
few years ago!
Now I never need peck through the keyboard layouts on my various
obscure
laptops and still get proper latvian text every time!
* A misnomer that has been adopted by the Unicode gang.
**ISO-8859 is an outsated yet common standard that won't support a number of common
european languages, among them latvian . |

QUICKSTART:
Write latvian text in the left window as the provided sample
shows.
You can also see HTML tags in the example, as they are supported
but not
required in your text. Dont worry about them if you are confused.
Just
enter your own text in the window.
A web version of the Latvianized text is displayed in the right
panel web
browser, the actual Unicode Latvianized text in the textbox
below.
A copy of the output is automatically saved upon exiting and
named
unitext.html. Rename this file for saving. Unicode-enabled applications
will correctly diplay this file.
You can copy and paste from the HTML window, but may experience
unpredictable results depending on the programs involved.
