Especially for short sequences of text which won't be long enough for the statistical efforts of libexttextcat to guess it right. Unicode char range folds this bunch of languages <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_script#Languages_currently_written_with_the_Arabic_alphabet">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_script#Languages_currently_written_with_the_Arabic_alphabet</a> to Arabic, while Hebrew script munges Yiddish and Hebrew together, which is maybe acceptable loss and probably happens on Windows already. There are some hints in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - System input language is always ignored on Linux" href="show_bug.cgi?id=108151">bug 108151</a> about some available fields in the gtk integration with the IBUS IM that might be of some use to pick an acceptable value to set for the language.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
