4. Input-Method Standardization
Today, computers and other typing devices offer many different keyboard layouts for inputting data in different languages. kasahorow contributed to the development of keyboards tailored to Ghanaian languages, namely Akan, Fula, Hausa, Ewe, Ga. We contributed these keyboards to freedesktop.org, and are now available on the Ubuntu platform from Version 6.06 (LTS) / Dapper Drake. For more information, see http://kasahorow.org/ims. For specific languages, append "/language" to the end of the above address, e.g., http://kasahorow.org/ims/akan.
5. Ghanaian Locales for Akan, Hausa, and Ewe and Togolese locale for Ewe
A locale describes the set of preferences for a user of computers, computer programs, or other electronic devices or software. These preferences are usually both language specific as well as location specific. For example, in a word processing program, such as Word or Open Office Writer, the user can change the language of the program to their own language, e.g., from English - USA to English - UK. One effect of this change is that if the user runs a spell check, the program will check spelling according to British English.
kasahorow contributed Ghanaian locales for the Akan, Hausa, and Ewe languages and a Togolese locale for Ewe to OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org) and the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository, the largest standard repository of locale data (http://www.unicode.org/cldr).
