Just wondering if any of the guru's out there have ever created a web
based application that allows mixed-language (on the fly) input,
especially two of the languages being Hebrew and Arabic.
Basically, we need to create input fields that the user can enter
either:
English
French
German
Hebrew
Arabic
Now, the odd thing, for those who don't know it -- is that Hebrew and
Arabic are both Right-to-Left (RTL) languages, meaning that the input
text fields should start with the cursor to the right most and then
proceed left (keeping the text right justified).
I have never seen this in a web application before. Just my lack of
knowing probably.
The other interesting thing is that on a given field, it is unknown
ahead of time if the input will be LTR (ISO-LATIN) or RTL (Hebrew/
Arabic), so the user needs a way to "switch" input modes "on the fly".
The backend DB w/ be UTF-8, so should have no problem on storing, but
also wondering how things like "searches" would work.
Any ideas, comments, places to look would be welcome.
Thanks!
