First, I'm not a localization expert, so I might have some of the
terminology incorrect. Second, I searched the archives and googled
apples site, but didn't see anything that jumped out at me (I'm also
not sure what I'm even looking for).
I'm needing to grab the actual unicode values generated from a user in
our game. For example, if a user is chatting in Korean, then
everything that avatar says needs to appear in Korean over their head.
We've already got it so that the Mac can "listen" to other languages
from windows, but I'm having problems getting the Mac to "speak" back.
I was under the impression that something very similar to the below
would work:
- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
int numberOfKeys = [[theEvent characters] length];
int index = 0;
for (index = 0; index < numberOfKeys; ++index) {
unichar character = [[theEvent characters] characterAtIndex:index];
NSLog (@"%d\n", character);
}
}
The above doesn't work using the "IME" language menu, or even when
using an arabic character set from the keyboard. The first generates
nothing. This makes me believe that I need to be looking at some other
event. The second though, seems odd because the characters are
actually generated from the keyboard, but all that I'm seeing are ASCII
values.
Can someone either share the secret or point me to the correct
documents to take a look at? Thanks, I really appreciate it bc we're
on a very tight deadline right now.
Please cc as I'm on digest. Thanks again.
