Study On Development Of Minority Liguistics Office Software

Along with the implementation of great western development strategy, the national minority area is entering a development time. The minority area people need to use the computer software of their own language, Specialy the office software which is the representative.At present, the research on this aspect in domestic and foreign is not comprehensive and mature. The overseas factory does not provide China national minority language office software edition yet. The domestic office software manufacturer also provides few national minority language products.To develop minority linguistics office software involves many aspects, there are many difficulties need to be researched and solved. Including Character coding, fonts, input method, displaying and typesetting, the save format of document and UI, etc.In this paper we will discuss several problems on development of minority linguistics Office Software:Research on multiplicity and characteristic of minority language;Research on Character coding,fonts and display;Research on input method,typesetting;Research on Multi-language information storage form & Multi-language UI .In this paper, we attempt to discover some general characteristics, and to propose some solution. At the same time, take Tibetan version office software development as the example to introduce.In Tibetan version office software development, we find an innovative way to implement the Tibetan automatic typesetting. It is initiative at home and abroad, and it is widely acclaimed by people of the region. Meanwhile based on the international multi-language technology we have achieved Tibetan language input, Tibetan UI, Tibetan file format and cross platform feature. The technology used inTibetan office software development is also useful for other minority language office software development.Hope it will make meager contribution for the informationization construction of western area.
