Its developed as a free software under GPL V3 license. Here are the main features supported in this version: Supports following 5 keyboards to type Tamil in Unicode encoding: Tamil99, Phonetic, Typewriter, Bamini, Inscript; Keyboard shortcut (F2 key) to toggle between English and Tamil keyboards.
And the details that might be helpful to our engineers are:. The diagnostic report, please send it to us following the steps at (in your case, ignore this because the report tool only works on Windows). Do you receive any error messages when trying to install or use Keyman?. Can you describe the symptoms of what is going wrong in more detail, e.g.: a) Are you unable to find your language keyboard? B) You can find your language keyboard, but you cannot select it?
C) You can select your language keyboard, but it types in English? D) You can type with your language keyboard, but it produces garbage letters? E) Something else? Hi, I am using MacOS.
I don’t find anything in the support menu. I don’t get any error message but, I find English characters instead of Suratha-Bamini even though I select the font. In Tamil there are various keyboard styles. MacOS inbuilt font styles are (a) Standard (Tamil 99) and (b) Transliteration. Both these styles are not professional ones. That is why we download keyman – Suratha-Bamini. When we use this, Suratha-Bamini, we type in Unicode fonts in Bamini style.

This Unicode works in many applications like MS-office with some issues, (I’ll explain this issue later), but the font style does not work in OmegaT (Translation tool), instead, English letters appear. But the Mac inbuilt font styles (mentioned above) work well in the same application. So, the problem is with Keman – Suratha-Bamini and not with OmegaT. Although the Suratha Bamini keyboard works in MS-Office, there is a small issue. To type Certain letters in Tamil, we need to press three characters like ”கௌ”.
This is a single letter in Tamil we need to press three letters ‘nfs’. But, these kind of “three press letters” do not appear in MacOS- MS-office. This has to be rectified. Hope, I have made it clear to you. The built-in Mac keyboards use a completely different technology, so that’s why they work in OmegaT, but Keyman keyboards do not. We have tracked the problem down.
It is a, which OmegaT (and also jEdit) uses to provide editing controls. Apple has a well-defined protocol for input methods that the JDK should comply with but does not. Hopefully someone will fix that issue. (Since JDK is open source, it’s possible that eventually we’ll have the capacity to try to write a fix and propose a patch, but that could take a while.)
