I would like to use Yiddish Typer on my PC and I think I installed it, but how do I access it? How do I tell Chrome or Windows that I now want to type in Yiddish?

Yiddish Keyboard for android/ ios

Hello,
I am working with Refoyel Finkel on various applications related to Yiddish digitization. We have run into a problem with our mobile app regarding the Yiddish alphabet, and I'm hoping your experience can be helpful in finding a solution.

The problem is that we need to take in info from people in both the Yiddish alphabet and in the Latin alphabet, on the same screen but in different text input boxes. So, we need to force them to a Yiddish keyboard when they are inside the Yiddish box, and force them to a Latin keyboard in the other instances.

The solution seems to be that we build a custom Yiddish keyboard inside our app, basically a set of code points that are called when someone is inside the Yiddish box. This is probably similar to what you have already done. So, would you be able to share your source file, and help talk us through questions that my student developer might have? For example, we would like to copy the correct layout from you.

Neither the student nor I speak or read Yiddish, so it is difficult for us to look at the actual Yiddish characters and know what to do with them.

Thanks in advance,
martin@kamusi.org

Ponctuation sings

Recently, I don't know why, all the ponctuation signs are sticking to the next word instead to the previous one, leaving a non-breakable space after the latter.

Diacritical signs

It would be nice if it was possible to add to one's liking the other Hebrew diacritical signs, in order to type words of Hebrew-Aramaic origin in full form.
