I am working on a project where I create pages in the kannada language which will be edited by others. I am planning to use the XWiki platform. Does XWiki provide Kannada editing support?
If not, what other wiki platform can I use?
As far as I can see Kannada characters are part of UTF8 so there should be no issue with XWiki. I just copy pasted some text in a wiki to test it and here is what it looks like: http://tuska.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Test/%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%A8%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%A8%E0%B2%A1
There is no XWiki translation in Kannada language yet but you can propose one if you like, see http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/AddALanguage for more details.

i use LiveCode 6.0 community edition, when i try to make a label in the GUI using an Arabic text it displays it, but from left to right not from right to left[RTL] .
is it possible to display a text in LiveCode using RTL?
Not yet unfortunately. Last time I looked into this I think you could set the text to some RTL text but you couldn't enter it RTL. Could be wrong as the project was put aside as soon as text entry was found to be LTR only.
Economy-x-Talk has a commercial custom software solution. It is fairly limited and I don't know if it is something for you but you could contact us at http://economy-x-talk.com.
LiveCode 7.0 will contain support for RTL languages. This is in development and a beta is expected in March 2014.
LiveCode 7.0.0 developer preview is now available for download:
http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/
It is the first version to natively support LTR languages and unicode.
To achieve this, several new chunk expressions have been introduced. Most importantly, the
trueWord chunk expression can process text based the ICU library with its many rules taking into account many language and charset.
Please be careful, it is still a DP
I occasionally come across source code written in the CWEB standard that Donald Knuth promotes. Are there any Windows tools and/or editors that can facilitate working with source code in that format? At a minimum, syntax highlighting must be supported.
I am looking for options other than various Windows port of Vim.
The obvious answer to my own question: Windows ports of Vim.
At a minimum, syntax highlighting must be supported
The Zeus editor can be easily configured for alomst any programming language.
Were looking at building a Chinese site (Traditional and Simplified) in Sitecore and was wondering where the possibilities for supporting the search.
From what I have been able to gather so far:
Lucene doesn't support it out of the box but can be extended through development or third party to allow Chinese search
dtSearch should support it but from what I've been able to find it is unreliable/untested.
Does anyone have any experience using Chinese language in Sitecore and performing searches?
Has anyone had any experience implementing Chinese into Lucene?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
Cove Enterprise Search supports Chinese and integrates well with Sitecore. You should double check their full language support list if you have other needs.

Sitecore 7 ContentSearch features could help you out of the troubles; the search functionality supports many different languages including Chinese, Arabic, and non-UTF based characters.
I have tried to search Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) in sitecore 7 backend search tab. If you have played sitecore 7, you may notice that every content item has a new search tab. You can try to create a content item with 2 different language versions (zh-TW, zh-CN: Traditional, Simplified), then search some Chinese keyword in the search tab, it works fine.
For different language analyzers configuration, please find the Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config in the App_Config/Include folder, there already defined many language analyzers for searching, you can also add the Chinese analyzer (Luncene.Net.Analysis.Cn.ChineseAnalyzer).
There is a "developer's_guide_to_item_buckets_and search_sc7" document on the sdn site(http://sdn.sitecore.net), it provides more details.
Hope these can help you.
For a school project i need to write or use a online programming editor. It is a part of a bigger project. I thought of a java application, php/html/javascript or flash.
I have a couple of things i could do:
Find a good working application and edit it so it works with the rest of the project
Find good parts for a editor and make it working my self (syntax highlighter, auto-indent, autocompletion, etc.)
Combination of those two
Does anybody know a good editor or have tips for this project or a editor?
Thanks for reading,
Leon
For the syntax highlighting and basic editing part, check out my recent question Textarea that can do syntax highlighting on the fly?
Solutions presented there:
CodeMirror
Bespin (Mozilla only, but great)
For the rest - autocompletion etc. - ... Check out the Wikipedia article Comparison of JavaScript-based source code editors
Interested to see what other suggestions come up.
Bespin comes to mind. Though it might be too bleeding edge, depending on how the rest of the project is built/meant to be used (but hey, programmers love bleeding edge).
If you decide to use PHP/HTML/CSS/JavaScript, see GeSHi for syntax highlighting.
I have a side project developed with ACE.
It connects to your server through SFTP and allows you to create new files,read and edit all from your browser with your file tree at sidebar.
Demo at TePe

I found Cobalah Editor it's also built on CodeMirror but with some customization. There are some themes available we can set, increase or decrease font size.
We're going to be building some J2ME apps and Java/Rails webapps which will have a Kannada(a south indian language, for those who don't know much about India) UI. The UI and the data will both be in Kannada for these apps.
So, we will need to write code containing some of these language text in the source code. I find it irritating that neither emacs nor XEmacs OR Jedit can edit any of these languages :-(
Someone mentioned that a variant of Emacs can do it except I don't know if it works on Windows and where to get hold of it.
I know notepad can do the trick BUT it's not a programmer's editor.
P.S : I am an EMacs guy but will be open to using other programmer editors.
P.P.S : This should work on Windows Vista/Windows 7. I wouldn't mind using VirtualBox or VMWare to boot into Linux to use an Linux Editor, if that is the only option I have!
So, we will need to write code containing some of these language text in the source code.
I think any Windows editor that supports UTF-8 will be able to do this. There should be plenty to choose from.
I'm the as the author of the Zeus editor and just recently UTF-8 support was added so I would expect Zeus should be able to do exactly this. But if it doesn't feel free to report a bug on the Zeus forum.
P.S : I am an EMacs guy but open to using other programmer editors in this situation.
Zeus has a Emacs keyboard emulation mode ;)
Considering it's Java you're using: Have you tried Eclipse? I know it's not an editor and might be a little overkill when one is used to Emacs, but it uses SWT which in turn uses the OS's native font rendering. And at least my browser shows that the Uniscribe can display Kannada just fine.
Another option might be Notepad++.
