jQuery.IME

jQuery.IME is a jQuery based input method editor library supporting more than 135 input methods across more than 62 languages.

These input methods are well tested. Initially the input methods were contributed by the Wikimedia community. By now many input methods have also been contributed by Red Hat.

This project is a Wikimedia foundation initiative to provide language technology tools to a wider audience outside the Wikimedia universe.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime.git

To add input method support to the editable fields of a web page:

$( 'textarea' ).ime();

jquery.ime provides a jquery plugin function $.fn.ime() to add input method support for any editable elements in a page.

Example

See an example page where jquery.ime in action.

To try the example locally, after checking out the code, start a local webserver to serve the files. This is very easy.

If you have python installed, run

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

or, In case you have python3

python3 -m http.server

Alternatively you can use tools like webfsd. If you know how to use advanced web servers like apache or nginx, you already know how to put the code in a webserver.

Browser extensions

This input tool is also available as Firefox and Chrome extensions.

For Developers
