00:01	Hello Everybody. Welcome to the tutorial - Typing in Local languages in LibreOffice Writer.
00:08	In this tutorial, I will introduce you to text processing in Kannada with LibreOffice Writer.
00:15	Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:25	Now, I will explain how you can configure Kannada typing in LibreOffice. You can use this method to configure any language in LibreOffice.
00:36	Use Synaptic Package Manager to install packages.
00:40	For details, watch the tutorial on Synaptic Package Manager available on the Spoken Tutorial website.
00:48	The configuration is done in four steps -
00:52	Check if SCIM is installed on your computer.
00:55	If not, use the Synaptic Package Manager to mark the following packages and install SCIM.
01:03	Pause this tutorial while you do this and resume when done.
01:08	Next, select the SCIM-immodule as the keyboard input method.
01:14	Configure 'SCIM' to select Kannada as a language for text input.
01:20	Configure LibreOffice to select Kannada for Complex Text layout.
01:26	I will now demonstrate these steps.
01:29	Click on System, Administration and Language support.
01:41	If you get a screen saying Remind Me Later or Install now, click on Remind me later.
01:51	In the Keyboard input method system, select scim-immodule.
01:56	Here it is already selected, so we will not do anything.
02:01	Thirdly, click on System, Preferences and SCIM Input Method to configure SCIM.
02:14	You cannot see it on the screen right now. But when you try this on your computer, you will be able to see this option.
02:22	Under IMEngine, click on Global Setup.
02:27	SCIM will show a list with all the languages it supports text processing in.
02:38	This includes most widely spoken Indian languages including Hindi, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Urdu etc.
02:48	For our tutorial Hindi and Kannada should be selected.
02:55	Click OK to save your configuration.
02:59	We will have to restart the machine to ensure that SCIM changes have taken effect.
03:04	Please do so and return back to this tutorial.
03:08	Now we will configure Kannada processing in LibreOffice.
03:14	Click on Applications, Office and LibreOffice Writer.
03:27	We will click on Tools in the main menu and Options sub-option.
03:33	You will see the Options dialog-box.
03:37	In this box, we will click on Language Settings and then Languages option.
03:46	Click on the check-box Enabled for complex text layout, if it is not already checked.
03:53	Please select Kannada from the CTL drop-down.
04:00	By default, this will set your local language setting to Kannada.
04:04	Click on OK.
04:10	We will now type a sentence in Kannada and English.
04:15	We will use Baraha method, the Nudi method and the UNICODE fonts. We will finally save the file.
04:24	Let me demonstrate this now.
04:27	In the opened text document, let's type: "Ubuntu GNU/Linux supports multiple languages with LibreOffice."
04:45	Hold the 'Control' key and hit the space bar.
04:52	A small window opens at the bottom right of the screen.
04:56	Select Kannada > kn-itrans for inputting text in simple phonetic method which is similar to the Baraha method.
05:05	If you want to Nudi keyboard layout, click on the Kannada > kn- kgp.
05:10	I will use kn-itrans input method which is simple and therefore easier for beginners.
05:16	Type "Sarvajanika Tantramsha" in English.
05:27	You will see the Kannada text being displayed on the screen.
05:31	Hold the 'Control' Key and hit the space bar.
05:33	The window disappears.
05:35	We can now type in English.
05:37	Thus Control key plus space bar acts as a toggle between English and the other language selected.
05:48	Please refer to the document on Kannada text processing available at www.Public-Software.in/Kannada for specific information about typing in Kannada, including typing in Nudi, using arkavathu.
06:05	We shall use only UNICODE font while typing in Indian languages since UNICODE is the universally accepted font.
06:13	Lohit Kannada is the UNICODE font that I am using.
06:16	Please note that I have shown you Kannada text processing.
06:20	The same procedure can be used to type text in any of the languages under SCIM Input Method using LibreOffice Writer.
06:28	Finally, the ASSIGNMENT-
06:31	Type a list of 3 books in Kannada.
06:33	Provide the English transliteration of the titles.
06:37	I have already constructed the assignment here.
