Typesetting Vietnamese with Vntex (And with the TEX Gyre Fonts Too) Typesetting Vietnamese with VnTEX (and with the TEX Gyre fonts too) Hàn Th¸ Thành River Valley Technologies http://river-valley.com Abstract This paper attempts to give an overview of the topics related to typesetting Viet- namese with TEX. There are no detailed instructions, but rather a comprehensive list of relevant issues and resources, so the reader can get an overall feeling of what is possible and where to look for further information for a quick start. A section is dedicated to a frequently asked question, i. e. how to write a few Vietnamese words in a non-Vietnamese document. I also take a close look at the Latin Modern and TEX Gyre fonts from the perspective of a Vietnamese end user, hoping to provide some useful feedback to the authors of those fonts. 1 A brief introduction to the AĂÂBCDĐEÊGHIKLMN Vietnamese language OÆƠPQRSTUƯVXY For convenience I repeat here a short introduction a«¥bcdđe¶ghiklmn to the Vietnamese language from [1] (with small oôơpqrstuưvxy modifications): In Vietnamese all words consist of single sylla- Vietnamese is written with Latin letters and bles, so they are often very short; hyphenation is not additional accents in a system called Quèc allowed at all.

  • Asian Languages in the Australian Education System
    The Study of Asian Languages in Two Australian States: Considerations for Language-in-Education Policy and Planning Yvette Slaughter Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 School of Languages and Linguistics University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This dissertation conducts a comprehensive examination of the study of Asian languages in two Australian states, taking into consideration the broad range of people and variables which impact on the language-in-education ecology. These findings are intended to enhance the development of language-in-education policy, planning and implementation in Australia. In order to incorporate a number of perspectives in the language-in-education ecology, interviews were conducted with a range of stakeholders, school administrators, LOTE (Languages Other Than English) coordinators and LOTE teachers, from all three education systems – government, independent and Catholic (31 individuals), across two states – Victoria and New South Wales. Questionnaires were also completed by 464 senior secondary students who were studying an Asian language. Along with the use of supporting data (for example, government reports and newspaper discourse analysis), the interview and questionnaire data was analysed thematically, as well as through the use of descriptive statistics. This study identifies a number of sociopolitical, structural, funding and attitudinal variables that influence the success of Asian language program implementation. An interesting finding to arise from the student data is the notion of a pan-Asian identity amongst students with an Asian heritage. At a broader level, the analysis identifies different outcomes for the study of Asian languages amongst schools, education and systems as a result of the many factors that are a part of the language-in-education ecology.

The goal of HAIL is to provide an accurate means to identify the language and encoding used in streaming content, such as documents passed over a high-speed network. HAIL has been implemented on the Field-programmable Port eXtender (FPX), an open hardware platform developed at Washington University in St. Louis. HAIL can accurately identify the primary languages and encodings used in text at rates much higher than what can be achieved by software algorithms running on microprocessors.

    Unicode Compression: Does Size Really Matter? TR CS-2002-11 Steve Atkin IBM Globalization Center of Competency International Business Machines Austin, Texas USA 78758 [email protected] Ryan Stansifer Department of Computer Sciences Florida Institute of Technology Melbourne, Florida USA 32901 [email protected] July 2003 Abstract The Unicode standard provides several algorithms, techniques, and strategies for assigning, transmitting, and compressing Unicode characters. These techniques allow Unicode data to be represented in a concise format in several contexts. In this paper we examine several techniques and strategies for compressing Unicode data using the programs gzip and bzip. Unicode compression algorithms known as SCSU and BOCU are also examined. As far as size is concerned, algorithms designed specifically for Unicode may not be necessary. 1 Introduction Characters these days are more than one 8-bit byte. Hence, many are concerned about the space text files use, even in an age of cheap storage. Will storing and transmitting Unicode [18] take a lot more space? In this paper we ask how compression affects Unicode and how Unicode affects compression. 1 Unicode is used to encode natural-language text as opposed to programs or binary data. Just what is natural-language text? The question seems simple, yet there are complications. In the information age we are accustomed to discretization of all kinds: music with, for instance, MP3; and pictures with, for instance, JPG. Also, a vast amount of text is stored and transmitted digitally. Yet discretizing text is not generally considered much of a problem. This may be because the En- glish language, western society, and computer technology all evolved relatively smoothly together.

  • Minimal Steps to Typeset Vietnamese
    Minimal steps to typeset Vietnamese Hàn Thế Thành 14th May 2013 This document tries to answer the question that has been often asked: How can I typeset just a few Vietnamese words in my document, which is in English (or French/German/...)? The answer depends very much on a particular scenario, however I assume that you are in a hurry, you don’t want to bother with issues like how to display and write Vietnamese in your TEX editor. You only have a few Vietnamese words in your LATEX file and you would like to see them properly displayed in your final PDF or PS file. 1. As the very first requirement, you must have some minimal LATEX support for Vietnamese: • Check whether you have VnTEX installed. VnTEX is included in teTEX, MikTEX and TEXLive. • If the above is not the case, try to download and install VnTEX by following the instructions at http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex. • If you can’t install VnTEX, you must have at least Latin Modern fonts installed. Then download http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-support/t5enc.def and put it to the directory where your LATEX file is. • If all the above fails, try to get help from someone else to solve at least one of those issues. 2. Make sure you have package fontenc loaded with T5 encoding. For example, if your document contains European languague(s) only, then you should have a line saying \usepackage[T1,T5]{fontenc} in your preamble. 3. An example how to input Vietnamese words may look like this: {\fontencoding{T5}\selectfont Ti\'\ecircumflex{}ng Vi\d\ecircumflex{}t} which gives the output as Ti¸ng Vi»t.
