From the time I moved on the Mac, I have been rather upset with not having access to a good interface to type Malayalam on, though the reading problems were more or less solved by the. I really missed , and was not a very good replacement, as text had to be copied from the browser every time. So, I was excited to hear from Harold James of about the new transliteration service, , and the Malayalam phonetic keymap for Keymagic created by. Junaid has created Malayalam keymaps, for both the phonetic scheme Mozhi and the native keyboard layout Inscript, to work with Keymagic, and he has a. The packaged app is available for. To install, just follow the instructions below: 1. Log out and log in again or just restart. Open System Preferences, go to Language and Text, and enable KeyMagic in the Input Sources tab. Check the option Show input menu in the menu bar. To type in Malayalam: 1. On the menu bar, click on the input menu and select KeyMagic as the current input source. The input menu on the menu bar now shows the options Malayalam-Mozhi and Malayalam-Inscript. I just tested this on Snow Leopard, but it should work on Leopard and Tiger as well, by following the installation instructions given along with the OS X installer on KeyMagic site. I didint installed any malayalam unicode fonts when i tried keymagic first time. Hi Ajay, Thanks for trying it out. Are you able to read Malayalam blogs well? Please uninstall all the current fonts and install Rachana for Mac as given in that article. This would enable you to view Malayalam properly on Mac. With KeyMagic installed, the writing issue should also be solved. Do let me know after you try. I have tried this only on Snow Leopard, I assume you are running the same. I just download and tried again. Now typing Malayalam is almost OK. But while typing some problems are there. I will inform those to you later. The last screenshot is here. Also I can name folder and files in malayalam! So users can easily install it too. I did not try reading malayalam page so far. I will check and inform you. Open System Preferences, go to Language and Text, and enable KeyMagic in the Input Sources tab. I think it is, 3. Also earlier I just asked you about the shortcut key combination to toggle between Malayalam and English and think to go the apple way! It is good to know that you are able to type Malayalam well now. Do let me know the what issues you face, we can at least document it. I will include Rachana Mac and instructions in the download as you suggested. Or better still, it would be great if an installer could be written that will do all this dirty work. And yes, you can configure the keyboard shortcut as you said. Regards Faisal hi faisal, this is my mac Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2. B08 SMC Version system : 1. Where did you pick up Keymagic from? Did you pick it ip from Keymagic site or the link given in my post? What is your Mac OS X version? Regards Faisal വളരെ നല്ല കാര്യം. ചില പ്രശ്നങ്ങളുള്ളതു കൂടി തീർക്കാനാകുമോ? It will be really convenient for the user. If the rule system is capable, I am happy to edit the rule file for you.
